Our weekly Liverpool jury columnists look back on the win over LASK Linz while previewing Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United
Liverpool got their Europa League campaign up and running on Thursday evening with a 3-1 away victory at the home of LASK Linz.
Assessing what could be in store as part of this fixture, while taking into account Thursday's European success, four supporters have shared their views as part of a weekly ECHO fan column.
Our season faltered last year because of slow starts and early opposition goals. Against LASK, we saw a faint photocopy of the game against Wolves: a sluggish and slow start, followed by a resurgent second-half performance. We can of course take some solace from the fact that this team has demonstrated resilience this season, but resilience alone does not convert teams into champions.
Going behind in games hasn’t hurt and, in fact, it’s been the cudgel the team needed to continue fighting and get all three points. We can't say the same for last season. Are there frailties that the Reds must overcome, or are we just unlucky at the start of matches? It could be both or neither.
