Youth of Stefan Bajcetic helps Liverpool find glimpses of old selves (The Guardian)

Spanish teenager Stefan Bajcetic was brave on the ball, as was Cody Gakpo, although Liverpool were not without some luck against Everton.

There is a directness to both of them that evokes the classic early Klopp sides, all pace and impatience, the shortest route to goal through the quickest means possible. The dizzying speed of the break stuns And most cheeringly of all, it is their new guard who make the best use of it. And the Spaniard is the perfect teacher: brave on the ball and an intelligent mover off it, the sort of player who always knows exactly how much time he has on the ball, who can speed play up or slow it down. And for all the riotous fun of the second half, there were also some warning signs for them. Perhaps the reason Liverpool start so badly is that they have lost the ability to self-motivate. Indeed for much of the first half-hour they looked like a pale shadow: frazzled, tired, dead behind the eyes. Even the flailing Trent Alexander-Arnold seemed to grow into this game, earning a second-half assist and unveiling his classic repertoire of crosses: the stinger, the zinger, the curler, the swirler, the roller, the high diagonal, the sly left-footer. The defensive display, particularly in the second half. The hopeful reading is that this comfortable win against their favourite opponents can restore a little of the old swagger, set them back on an upward path. Well, they always say the form book goes out of the window on derby day. At the conclusion of this game, as Liverpool’s players shared backslaps and embraces on the pitch, as Jürgen Klopp strode over to the Kop to punch the air with his harpoon-fist, as Anfield buzzed to the strains of “going down, going down, going down”, it was possible to sense a curious and unfamiliar vibe around this place.

Liverpool call for Uefa action after report on final (BBC Sport)

Liverpool call on Uefa to "fully and transparently" implement the recommendations made in an independent report on the events before last season's Champions ...

This was a 'near miss' of a much more fatal situation. "Lessons must be learnt. "What should have been the highlight of the season for travelling supporters of Liverpool and Real Madrid - in Uefa's words a 'festival of football' - turned out to be a maelstrom of chaos and alarm that led to some fans fearing for their life," the group said. Uefa and French authorities initially blamed ticketless Liverpool fans for the events, but the report - released on Monday - said there was "no evidence" to support the "reprehensible" claims. The club added the "fundamental safety failings" had "exacerbated the suffering" of the families, friends and survivors of Hillsborough. Liverpool want Uefa to "fully and transparently" fulfil recommendations made in an independent report on the events before last season's Champions League final in Paris.

Lawyers of traumatised Liverpool fans say report blaming Uefa ... (The Guardian)

Lawyers preparing imminent legal claims against Uefa on behalf of Liverpool supporters who suffered injury and trauma at last May's Champions League final ...

Tony Winterburn, partner at Pogust Goodhead, said: “This is a hugely damning report for Uefa, which clearly strengthens the case we are bringing on behalf of Liverpool fans. When publishing the report, Uefa repeated an apology made to supporters of both clubs after the final. “It was the worst day of my life and I’m still dealing with the issues now,” he said. Of the refund scheme, they said: “It’s important to understand that what is required here is more than just a ticket refund. It’s about accountability and about learning lessons for the future. The central finding of the review panel, which was chaired by a Portuguese MP, Tiago Brandão Rodrigues, was that Uefa had “primary responsibility” for the safety failures that almost led to a “mass fatality catastrophe”.

Liverpool urges UEFA to ensure fans are safe at matches (Sportsnet.ca)

Liverpool urged UEFA to ensure supporter safety is the top priority at matches after a report detailed how a "mass fatality catastrophe'' was only narrowly ...

"The shame — beginning with the stadium billboard announcing kickoff was delayed due to fans arriving late, supporters being tear gassed and pepper sprayed, pickpocketed and attacked, people frightened they were going to die — is on them.'' Ultimately, the report found UEFA should bear "primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster,'' which — for many Liverpool fans — brought back memories of the tragedy at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989 that led to the death of 97 supporters of the club. UEFA had initially blamed Liverpool fans, some of whom were fired on by tear gas by police, for arriving at the stadium late and using fake tickets to try to gain entry.

Liverpool beats Everton, Gakpo gets his first Reds goal (TSN)

I’m a realist and I know how tough the Premier League is." Victory in the Merseyside derby is always something to savor in these parts. I loved the atmosphere - it is an insane atmosphere people create here,” he said. “All games are important, but it’s fair to say people were wondering if we would get a point from our first two games," Dyche said. We probably had 70% possession and scored from two counters, that makes it special,” Klopp said. With three fist pumps in front of the home fans, Jurgen Klopp celebrated his 250th win as Liverpool manager after beating Everton 2-0 on Monday.

Liverpool have implored Uefa to fully implement the recommendations made in the damning independent report on last year's Champions League final chaos.

We ask that they work with us and seek our expertise to address these injustices and give young disabled supporters from all corners of Europe hope that one day they can follow their football team in the same way that non-disabled children can. “The report contains important recommendations which are relevant to everyone involved in the delivery of major football events, and positive action should be taken to ensure that this never happens again.” We would expect Uefa and the authorities to act upon each of these. Our thoughts go out to all our fans who have suffered as a result of Paris and we would remind them of the mental health support we put in place in the days following the disaster that was the Uefa Champions League final in Paris.” “We implore Uefa to fully enact the recommendations as outlined by the panel – no matter how difficult – to ensure supporter safety is the number one priority at the heart of every Uefa football fixture.” The club has called on Uefa to transparently implement the report’s 21 recommendations to ensure the safety of all supporters attending a Uefa-organised game.

Liverpool vs Everton live Premier League updates: Salah goal fires ... (The Athletic)

Liverpool and Everton are facing off in a pivotal Merseyside derby in the Premier League.Jurgen Klopp's men are mired in a four-game winless run in league ...

On his goal: "I know that Darwin (Nunez) is really fast, so they had a corner and we played a one-two. Mohamed Salah spoke to Sky Sports after scoring the opening goal: "It's a huge win for us. Hopefully we keep playing well and win more games." Stefan Bajcetic spoke to Sky Sports after being named the Player of the Match: "To be fair, I played in a different position. It is important we keep listening to the manager each day and we need to go again. We gave away two goals on the counter and that is massively disappointing. We want bravery at home and away from home from our fans and their energy. He has had a tough time so we need to monitor him." But then you cause trouble at the set piece, you want that to be part of your game. We will take wins when you don't play well but much better to get three points when you deserve it and today we deserved it. [Mohamed Salah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/mohamed-salah-NuvaNMBabDgYuJtn/) opened the scoring in the 36th minute, finishing off a brilliant counter-attack just seconds after [James Tarkowski](https://theathletic.com/football/player/james-tarkowski-ljQQBVqF6rzAzHTT/) had hit the post at the other end.
