This sort of performance is a refreshing change compared to how October panned out for Liverpool, and if they keep their performance levels to this standard, they could get back to their best in no time.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesAfter the tie on Tuesday, here are three things spotted from a solid Liverpool display. Florian Wirtz must continue starting on the left wing for Liverpool over Cody GakpoFlorian Wirtz was one of Liverpool’s biggest signings of the summer transfer window.

The young German has been used all across the pitch by Slot, and after his performance against Los Blancos, it’s clear that left-wing is where he needs to be used.

There were no questions raised about Bradley on Tuesday, and if he continues playing like he did against Xabi Alonso’s men, there’s no reason why he can’t cement his place in Slot’s starting XI. At the moment, that isn’t an issue as Alexander Isak is out injured for Liverpool, but since he could be in contention to feature against Manchester City on Sunday, Slot will be faced with his striker dilemma once again.
