"He was always a threat. On the ball and off the ball. Hugo Ekitike has made a marvelous start as a Liverpool player. Making runs and getting into positions. He was a thorn in the side of Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke. Ekitike got into so many good positions, he could have had five. In the end, he gets two and it is enough for Liverpool."
"He was outstanding. A game-changer for Liverpool's future and sublime in the present. Everything you wanted. He was slick and precise, incredible on the ball he looks like a world-beater. One suspects he chips the teabags into the bin with his right foot at home. Make no mistake, Florian Wirtz is Liverpool's future. He is not a Liverpool goalscore yet but boy does he make everyone else better."
"He was back. There have been rifts in public and then arms around each other in private. It seems as though Arne Slot and Salah have made up, and it's for the best. If Salah can get firing again then Liverpool will benefit. Salah looked like a different player today. Eager to defend, eager to be a part of a team. If you want to play for this great club, you have to be a great teammate"
The Premier League table is tightening as Liverpool seeks to climb back into Champions League contention. Hugo Ekitike has made a strong start, threatening on and off the ball, making penetrating runs, troubling defenders, and scoring twice before being substituted exhausted. Florian Wirtz displayed outstanding creativity and precision, improving teammates' play and emerging as a long-term Liverpool asset. The understanding between Ekitike and Wirtz provided incisive movement and near-telepathic interplay. Mohamed Salah showed renewed commitment, defending eagerly and reintegrating with the team after private reconciliation with Arne Slot. Goals, relentless work rate, and creative cohesion are restoring Liverpool's momentum.
