Elliott and Carvalho decision vindicated
Among the many sticks with which the critics have relished beating Liverpool in the wake of the Premier League defeat at Arsenal has been the respective age of the two teams.
The Gunners, younger and more sprightly, were claimed to be the new generation, the ageing Reds now heading for has-been territory. That, though, could not be an accusation made here as Jurgen Klopp looked to the future with 20-year-old Fabio Carvalho – making his first Champions League start – on the left flank and Harvey Elliott, still only 19, on the other wing of a heavily-rotated starting line-up.
