Hugo Ekitike

If fans approached Monday's game unsure about the Frenchman and whether he's ready to play for one of the world's best sides, they're unlikely to share the same unease upon its conclusion.

He just oozes class, as was shown repeatedly on Monday with his deft first touches and ability to glide forward effortlessly.

Wirtz drew several gasps from the crowd and linked well with Salah in the wide areas, while he displayed a habit of popping up in space as a Liverpool player looked to pass the ball



The German's first touch will be the topic of social media compilations this season - you heard it here first.

Ryan Gravenberch

Liverpool's breakthrough player last season, the Dutchman continued his excellent levels back at Anfield, with a impressive display at the base of midfield

Once, when the former Bayern Munich man dummied, bypassed an opposition player and fired at goal, with the shot saved and the rebound tapped in by Liverpool's no.18

Then, in the 71st minute, a shimmy and burst forward freed up space for Gravenberch to then slip the ball into Gakpo

Seconds later his shot squeezed beyond Unai Simon and into the back of the net.

In many ways it was a copy and paste from the early months of last season for Gravenberch - but Liverpool fans won't mind that.
