"It's no secret that he hasn't been at his best in our handful of games so far, but how he responds to these performances will be interesting. Andy Robertson came out this week as a voice of support to the young Hungarian, insisting we give him time, and we shall, but it's worth keeping an eye on him to make sure he's taking steps forward and not backwards."
"With the untimely injury of Julian Alvarez on the weekend, it's safe to assume that Atletico's main route of attack will be Antoine Griezmann. The evergreen Frenchman is absolutely in his golden years, but that doesn't mean he hasn't got a few tricks up his sleeve still. With 25 goal involvements in all competitions last year, he's yet to find the back of the net this season."
Liverpool begin their European campaign against Atletico Madrid with both teams seeking their first Champions League points. Atletico remain dangerous despite a slow start to the season and retain game-changing players. Milos Kerkez has struggled early for Liverpool and will be monitored as he attempts to recover form, with Andy Robertson publicly backing him. Antoine Griezmann is expected to lead Atletico's attack following Julian Alvarez's injury, after contributing 25 goal involvements last season but not yet scoring this term. Diego Simeone provides tactical direction and a combative mindset that defines Atletico's play.
