However, when the game kicked off, it was clear that Liverpool were going to be the dominant team throughout the clash, even if they did get a bit lazy towards the end of the first half.

And, even though they were already winning 2-0 going into the second half of the game, the fact that they had both Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz ready to come in off the bench is proof of how strong the Reds’ depth actually is.

However, it was a moment from Dominik Szoboszlai before Hugo Ekitike scored Liverpool’s second goal of the day that caught the eye of Ally McCoist.

Although most of the hard work for Liverpool’s second goal of the game was done by Ekitike, without Szoboszlai’s initial pass to Alexis Mac Allister, who then passed it to Ryan Gravenberch, the move wouldn’t have even started.

And, even though he didn’t get the assist for Ekitike’s strike, without him, the Reds would have gone into the second half only one goal up.

“That was a great finish [from Ekitike],” McCoist said.

“But, there’s a ball right at the start of the process, maybe a two-yard pass from Szoboszlai on the outside of his right foot, that’s brilliant.

“It’s a great goal, lovely, [Szoboszlai’s pass] just creates a little bit of space.”

It’s now clear that Liverpool have some of the best squad depth in the Premier League.

At the moment, they’re still on top of the Premier League table, but since they did concede at the start of the second half, it’s clear that Slot still has some work to do regarding Liverpool keeping their lead in games.
