Squad

Virgil van Dijk in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Liverpool this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Harvey Davies is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Liverpool is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Real improvement from Finn Inglethorpe at Liverpool

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Finn Inglethorpe is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Liverpool find a way past Aston Villa

Aston Villa made Liverpool work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Dominik Szoboszlai in the eights

A performance of 8.22 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Edward Walker signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Edward Walker and Liverpool agree another 3 years.

The dugout

Nicholas Richardson has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Nicholas Richardson on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Player ratings

Jeremie Frimpong shuts the door

Defensive actions: 15, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

The dugout

When it matters, Miloš Kerkez plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Transfer targets

Liverpool bid $28.6M for Benjamin White

The offer went to Arsenal this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Arsenal tell Liverpool: Benjamin White is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Dominik Szoboszlai puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Liverpool, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Harvey Davies has said yes to Barrow AFC

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Liverpool have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Boardroom

Liverpool close the window on a squad of their own making

5 in and 13 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Conor Bradley wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Liverpool hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Real improvement from Will Wright at Liverpool

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Will Wright is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Alisson loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Alisson. Liverpool will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad

Joe Gomez makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
