Liverpool have shown greater conviction in their performances, even under Arne Slot’s brief tenure thus far. However, it was sufficient to win 2-0 against Bologna at Anfield, and the Italian media have since shared their thoughts.
An early danger sign appeared as the visitors were about to take an unexpected lead, but Virgil van Dijk skillfully marshalled an offside trap to stop them.

However, the Reds quickly found their rhythm, and it didn’t take long for Alexis Mac Allister to score after Mohamed Salah supplied a beautiful cross.
Darwin Nunez was the next to have a goal disallowed for offside, and the pressure never let up. But before the first half ended, carelessness started to show, as Alisson’s goal came under growing pressure.
With a little bit of luck, some desperate defending, and his skill, the Reds managed to hold onto their clean sheet. On the opposite side, Salah finally secured the outcome with a goal that defied time, cutting inside and curling one into the top corner, reports Liverpool News.
Salah received the highest praise. La Gazzetta dello Sport called him a “true phenomenon” and called his goal a “jewel”. Yet, the 7/10 score may have been a reflection of Slot’s dissatisfaction about the final ball’s frequent lack of quality.
