“Liverpool salvages a point in its first league match under Iraola at Newcastle. The reds’ attacking play was encouraging throughout, just lacking the finishing ability to take advantage of many chances created. Slightly concerning to leak two goals on a day where you held possession at a high rate over the opposition, have to be better defensively when the adversary is on the counterattack. Great strike by Gakpo just before the hour mark brought new life to Liverpool after conceding early in the game, but Newcastle scoring again minutes later proved to be detrimental to the Red’s chances at victory. Saved by Szoboszlai after a foul given in the box late, a peerless penalty taken as time expired, finding the top left corner of the net. Leaving with a point on a day where you played well but missed lots of opportunity is certainly a strange feeling, but an encouraging performance for Liverpool nonetheless considering this is a fixture that tends to be a challenge each season. ”
