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's bright future keeps Everton in relegation zone (ESPN India)

Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez looked particularly good as Liverpool's first league win of 2023 keeps Everton sweating over their top-flight future.

The Everton left-back was tormented all night long by Salah and [Trent Alexander-Arnold](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold), and lost the ball too often. Everton: The Toffees are also in action on Saturday, when they welcome Leeds to Goodison Park for a clash of 17th vs. If he continues to be in and out of the team, as he has been all season, Everton will find it tough to score the goals they need to stay up.

For Liverpool, that is all about finding the form to make a late charge up the table to seal a top-four finish and The absence of centre-forward If Liverpool and Everton are to save their seasons, though, both need to be better than they were at Anfield in this game. While the win boosted Liverpool's faint hopes of finishing in the top four, the defeat left Everton in the relegation zone ahead of their crucial clash against Leeds United on Saturday.

Champions League report vindicates everything we Liverpool fans ... (The Guardian)

Work of supporters on the night in Paris and during the months after ensured that attempts by those in power to blame them failed.

The scale of social grief and searing sense of injustice forms an inherited trauma that even those of us not yet born on 15 April 1989 have ingrained into our DNA. Their work rendered explaining the fiasco straightforward, instilled a sympathetic view in the international press and public and meant those seeking to protect their reputations with mistruths were unable to do so. After nine long months the independent panel commissioned by Uefa to investigate the disarray has released its report.

Report: UEFA put Liverpool, Madrid fans at risk in UCL final (ESPN India)

UEFA-appointed investigators said the football body bears the "primary responsibility" for security failures at the 2022 Champions League final.

"While we have not seen a full copy of the report, early indications suggest that its conclusion echoes what Leigh Day have said all along, fans were seriously let down by UEFA. "Institutional defensiveness, putting reputation and self-interest above truth and responsibility, prevents progressive change,'' the report said. French police were blamed in the report for wrongly assuming that Liverpool fans posed a threat to public order, and for using "weaponry'' like tear gas and pepper spray. But even more concerning is the realisation that for families, friends and survivors of Hillsborough, Paris has only exacerbated their suffering." The independent French Senate report published in July 2022 found Liverpool supporters were unfairly and wrongly blamed for the chaotic scenes to divert attention from the real organisational failures. "We knew that it was critical to understand why both Liverpool and Real Madrid supporters found ourselves in the situation where supporters' safety was put at risk.
