The article from CaughtOffside discusses Liverpool's performance in their Community Shield match against Crystal Palace. Here is a summary: Milos Kerkez, playing at left-back for Liverpool, had a mixed performance. He was rated at **5.5/10** and seemed to struggle with the threat posed by Crystal Palace's right-back Daniel Munoz. This limited his ability to contribute significantly going forward[1]. **Hugo Ekitike** made a dream start for Liverpool by scoring after just four minutes into the game. His goal was assisted by **Florian Wirtz**, who also had a strong debut. Ekitike's early strike set the tone for Liverpool's attacking play but wasn't enough to secure them the win[2][3]. **Florian Wirtz**, acquired from Bayer Leverkusen, impressed with his skills in both possession and out of possession. He was praised by journalist Henry Winter for his dribbling, passing, use of space, and work ethic. Wirtz's understanding with Ekitike and Salah was evident early in the match[3]. **Jeremie Frimpong** scored a superb debut goal in the 20th minute, showcasing his potential as Liverpool's new right-back. His overall performance was rated at **7/10**, highlighting his effectiveness in getting forward and contributing to the team's attack[1]. However, Liverpool's defense was not as solid. **Virgil van Dijk**, a key figure in the Liverpool defense, had a poor game, giving away the penalty for Palace's first goal and being caught out for their second. He was rated at **3/10**, which is significantly below his usual standards[1].
