Liverpool's New Signings Rated in Premier League Debut
Liverpool made history at Anfield on Friday by starting four Premier League debutants, a first for reigning champions. This reflects significant changes at the club following their league title win, showing a commitment to progress.
Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo scored in the match, with Federico Chiesa also finding the net coming off the bench. Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Florian Wirtz also started for Liverpool.
Ekitike impressed with a goal on his Premier League debut, continuing his good form from the Community Shield. Wirtz, despite being a potential standout signing, did not shine as expected, showing glimpses of skill but lacking impact.
Frimpong, described as an exciting player to watch, did not display his full potential in the game. Kerkez, facing criticism from Bournemouth fans for his exit, struggled defensively and failed to show his attacking prowess.
Liverpool's new signing Giovanni Leoni, a Parma defender, watched from the stands. The team's defensive performance might open up an opportunity for him to play earlier than anticipated.
