The Premiership is far from being a two-way race. There is Liverpool, just two points behind Arsenal, who did not fail at Bramall Lane. Three points that save these dangerous midweek fixtures, but which leave a bad taste in the mouth because of Mac Allister's fitness. Klopp is still looking for his third midfielder and this time he opted for Endo as a pivot and Gakpo as a 9. This detail in midfield allowed Mac Allister to be more free of defensive tasks and to show the facet that led him to sign for Liverpool last summer. However, the Argentinian gave the fans a scare in the opening minutes by complaining about a tackle. He stayed on the pitch until the 59th minute when Jones came on.

 

It was not the only moment that troubled Klopp right at the start of the game. A Joe Gomez miss made it easy for McAtee to finish, with a bit of luck, one-on-one with Kelleher. But the stand-in keeper showed he was ready for these days by saving with a fine save. Sheffield Wednesday did not propose much, but they were dangerous on the counter. However, Van Dijk and Konaté were spectacular in cutting out all attacks. In fact, the Irish goalkeeper did not concede another shot on target.

Liverpool finally put the game to bed in stoppage time, with a fine goal from Szoboszlai after a Darwin recovery that the referee could well have pointed to. But what he blew was the final whistle and the game ended 0-2, which is enough for Liverpool to stay in close pursuit of Arsenal.

 

Szoboszlai's new assessment

Beyond Wednesday's goal the Hungarian's level has been growing in every game and if Liverpool paid 70 million for him according to several sources and specialized portals now his price would be at least 90 million amount that Liverpool would ask for any interested in signing him being Barcelona an option that has been handled in the last hours in Spain.
