My name is Oli and here at Anfield we are all set for another big night in the Champions League as Liverpool host Ajax in Game 2 of Group A. Ajax will be facing a Liverpool team low on confidence after a number of poor performances and results. The first game saw Liverpool get hammered 5-1 in the Dutch capital and they could only muster a 2-2 draw at Anfield. At the time of writing these notes it is too early to say what the gestures of respect will be, but whatever they are we will observe them as we always have." However, there is little competition for his place in the side with a lack of a quality backup. The most recent times the two faced each other was the 2020/21 season in which Liverpool won both the home and away fixture 1-0. Despite the pedigree of both sides in Europe, Liverpool have faced Ajax just four times in Europe's premier club competition. A reinvestment in players such as Steven Bergwijn and Calvin Bassey has kept up the pressure on the big clubs and the highly regarded youth team continues to produce talent. While Liverpool as a whole are yet to really get going, Trent's attitude was questioned after the game versus Napoli where he wandered into position with not a lot of hurry, despite Napoli targeting his flank. Liverpool keep the pressure on Ajax as Thiago dances past two in midfield before being brought down. Liverpool's siege of the Ajax goal is proving to not be so fruitful. From one end to the other Liverpool break.

Liverpool looked destined for a disappointing draw against Ajax before the defender's late goal secured three points.

It soon spread so that for all that it had been apparent before kick off that Liverpool really needed to win before kick off they never seemed particularly panicked in their pursuit of victory. From the moment he broke the Ajax pressure valve with a first time pass to Alexander-Arnold in the first minute a sense of surety seemed to envelope the Reds' midfield. Those improvements were there in abundance and they were needed in a match decided by the finest of margins, Joel Matip's header flying over the goal line before Ajax's Dusan Tadic could flick the ball off the line to safety. Perhaps that was explained by the presence of Thiago in the engine room once more. However, the stratospheric standards that they and Manchester City have set for each other means that, in the Premier League in particular, Jurgen Klopp's players have next to no room to be good but unlucky. Perhaps they could still have afforded a two game wobble in the Champions League, it is hard to be certain when Rangers and Napoli are yet to play their second game in Group A.

“It was a long and tough game. We know exactly that last week was unacceptable, very bad, and we try to make it right. There are a lot of ex-football players and they know exactly what we’re going through but they say a lot of things to try and get us down.

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has singled out multiple Reds players for the underwhelming start to the current season.

Virgil van Dijk's compatriot Rafael van der Vaart has been one of the pundits criticising Liverpool and the Reds defender is not happy.

They are also likely to be second in their Champions League group after Rangers host Napoli on Wednesday. In the build-up to the win against Ajax, Rafael van der Vaart claimed the Reds are a "very mediocre team" beyond their stars with James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Joe Gomez being picked out and criticised. Plenty of ex-professionals have been quick to pile the pressure on Liverpool this season after their uncharacteristically slow start to the campaign.

Liverpool secured a much-needed victory as Joel Matip's late header against Ajax earned Jurgen Klopp's side a 2-1 win and its first three points of the ...

"The game against Marseille was difficult. "We conceded a goal from a corner and, for sure, we can do much better. Then, in the end, we are talking about a loss. "So, wholly different -- the start was different, the middle was different, finish was different. The football we played, the way we defended, everything was different. "How I said, everything was better.
