- David Lynch makes bold prediction ahead of Liverpool's clash with Newcastle United.
With Liverpool set to play their Premier League opener away to Newcastle United, journalist David Lynch has expressed his optimism for the team on Anfield Index's Media Matters podcast. Speaking to David Dave Davies, Lynch analyzed the pre-season developments and said that Liverpool are in good form at the moment and that they can win at St James' Park.
As Lynch said, "Liverpool naturally seem more prepared now than Newcastle" after watching Newcastle during pre-season. He reminded Newcastle that the players included in the new signings are young and may take some time to fully settle into the system. Meanwhile Liverpool already look like a proven football team, at least on current form.
Of course, there are still some problems, Lynch warns. In particular, "teams falling apart in the second half" remained his concern. He noted that while Liverpool had made a few transfers in previous pre-season series and had more chances to keep the fresh spirit in the game, they have made fewer transfers in the latest single match. That's why, he said, "it needs to be fixed before we go to Newcastle" — to maintain the intensity for at least 75 minutes and be in a winning position during that time.
Lynch recognizes that pacing and aggressive attacking are key components of coach Andoni Iraola's system, which is why Liverpool could struggle if they don't deal with such pressure. However, he insists Liverpool have the ability to score goals. He named Cody Gakpo as a good option, especially if the introduction of Bradley Barcola is not yet complete. Lynch also felt confidence had grown on defense — fans felt satisfied with either Ronald Araujo or Jeremy Jacket starting at center back. Jeremy Frimpong also impressed at rightback during the streak.
Lynch puts some limitations on the middle section of the game: "There's a certain immaturity to the middle class, what it looks like." However, he noted that players like Gravenberch and Szoboszlai will perform the way the coach wants them to in the early stages and compete.
In a question, Lynch opined that the starting 11 will not change much, and that the starting team from the last big match of last pre-season is likely to remain the same. So he said that if Kodi Gakpo is in it, then there is continuity in it.
Finally, Lynch predicts the result of the fixture and predicts a Liverpool win, suggesting 3-1. In his opinion Liverpool's pressing formation and attacking options could trouble Newcastle; The key challenge is to convert preseason excellence into a complete competition in the fixture. Lynch hopes Iraiola's first Premier League campaign gets off to a profitable start.

What happens next
If Liverpool win the match against Newcastle, they will get off to a good start in the Premier League.

Before the next matches, coach Andoni Iraiola should focus on improving the cohesion between the players and maintaining the spirit in the game.
