Goals:

28 MINS: HUGE CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS………HOW IS IT STILL 0-0????

The game has exploded into life at both ends……….but still no breakthrough!!!

Mabaya’s clever through ball releases Nunez and the Uruguayan smashes against the bar! RB Salzburg break and Sesko breezes past Joe Gomez – Adrian saves – but Fernando somehow screws the rebound wide!!!

23 Mins: Liverpool look to try and come again as Isaac Mabaya strides on and blazes off target before Naby Keita’s weak effort trickles past the post.

21′ – Carvalho plays a lovely ball into the run of Nunez, his cross sits up for Mabaya to hit but it goes just over.

10 Mins: A bright opening from Klopp’s young starting XI with Carvalho and Harvey Elliott seeing plenty of the ball so far.

KICK OFF: WE ARE OFF IN SALZBURG!!!

15 Mins to KO: Jurgen Klopp has thrown down the gauntlet to his side by claiming the 2022/23 season starts tonight

“We said after the RB Leipzig game, the real work starts now. We have a game at the weekend, we can’t forget it, but we can’t ignore it.

“The boys have to fight through it tonight. We have to mix the team and share game time because of Saturday’s game.

“We start with a young team but so do Salzburg. They’re not in pre-season anymore, it’s the start of the season for them. 

“Their football philosophy is not too far away from ours, they play with a press and a counter press.”
