and

and a

who's making a welcome return to Ali Louge.

So what a weekend of football I mean the Premier League was back with a bang

absolutely fantastic and Liverpool an emphatic three-nill win at Norwich.

James, I mean it was convincing wasn't it? I mean you know I mean a lot of people

are going into meltdown on Twitter about lack of silence but

when you've seen that team in full flow you look phenomenal don't you?

Yeah I think in terms of everything you could ask for for an opening day when every box was ticked, wasn't it really? I'm thinking in terms of, you know, three goals, the clean sheet, you know, the attackers looking so sharp and hungry, you know, Van Dyke getting 90 minutes under his belt on his return.

Matip looking so assured next to him. You know, Allison only been back a fortnight but you know his reflexes, you know, just as impressive as ever. You could see how much that clean sheet meant to him even though, you know, those saves were long after the the points

were already wrapped up and then you know even right down to young Harvey

Elliot coming off the bench and making an impression so so yeah when when you think that you know that was far from a

full strength Liverpool team when you think you know obviously Simicus I think you've

got to give him some credit as well for his full Premier League debut in place of Robertson.

You know I don't think we'll see that midfield play for Liverpool too often.

It was clearly it was based on who clock felt was physically ready

which didn't include Tiago, Henderson and obviously Fabino just coming off the bench.
