The first half's performance was outstanding but also discouraging. Although Klopp's team was in complete command and orchestrating some brilliant attacking play, the decisive ball just wasn't there. Nearly everyone who was frequently entering the final third appeared to make at least one final pass or shot mistake. Fortunately, they were awarded the penalty kick—though it was obviously an easy one—and were able to score. With each subsequent game, Trent continues to exhibit signs that he belongs in the middle of the field. It's difficult to emphasise how good he was today, particularly throughout the opening hour or so. He was doing all the duties of a midfielder.
Konaté is a major factor in why the Reds can get away with moving their right-back to the centre. Ibou was enormous at the back once more. Mohamed Salah made a penalty kick for the second consecutive game, and it appears that he has regained his PK mojo.
