Feel-good factor
This season, Liverpool has won every match at Anfield by a margin of at least two goals.
Since losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League the previous season, the Reds have won 13 of their 15 home games and drawn two.
It creates a positive vibe around the stadium. While supporters are engrossed in the game and loving the performance these players are giving, it can occasionally lead to a silent atmosphere.
This includes the recent additions as well as the team’s regular favorites, such Darwin Nunez, who is already a cult hero and may eventually prove to be one.
Ryan Gravenberch’s substitution caused an audible feeling of regret among the crowd, as they were hoping to see more of this midfield player who appears to have what it takes to be one of the best all-around players in the world.
The names of Wataru Endo and young Luke Chambers and Calum Scanlon were sung, and their achievements were acknowledged.
On the field or in the stands, watching Liverpool at Anfield is currently one of the most delightful activities. Klopp will not want this to become complacent.
Kelleher’s opportunity
Kelleher could easily be a No. 1 goalkeeper at numerous other clubs, and Liverpool have done well to keep hold of him as such a solid understudy to Alisson.
One of the ways Klopp was able to keep Kelleher at the club for now was to offer him starts in the many cup games the team will have across all competitions this season.
The Irishman shows many strengths as a goalkeeper, not least with his feet in buildup play. He is commanding in his area and sweeps up well.
He can take up a position in between the centre-backs during build-up if needed, and towards the end of this game, he got the chance to test his reflex with a save low down.
If there is a weakness in Kelleher’s game, it could be his one-on-one goalkeeping in situations such as that for the Thijs Dallinga.
You might have backed Alisson to make a save in such a situation, but Kelleher didn’t make himself as big as the Brazilian does.
Comparing Kelleher to arguably the best goalkeeper in the world is probably unfair, but Alisosn is there for the 24-year-old to learn from for as long as he remains at the club, and this might be an area for improvement.
Super Aerial Endo

It seems that this is useful not only in defense, because he rose to head a cross from Trent Alexander-Anorld and score Liverpool’s second goal of the match.
Toulouse lost but their fans won
The away support is one of the factors that enhances the previously mentioned entertainment in Anfield on these European nights.
The Toulouse supporters carried on what they had started against Union SG in the previous home game of this campaign.
Outside the stadium, people were heard singing while police managed the stream of spectators towards the few available turnstiles. This was just to let the French fans who were there to get warmed up before they took to the field.
Pyro was on display, and the rows of purple shirts never stopped cheering. The guy in charge of the front row didn’t see any of the game, but he managed to keep the crowd engaged.
At the end, their team experienced a rare and fleeting moment of possession, and there were even some oles.
Qualification secured?
Liverpool is now firmly in charge of Group E after this emphatic victory.
Toulouse was the only other side in the group with a winning record coming into this round of matches, thus defeating them sends Klopp and his squad to the knockout stages.

In other words, unless something improbable happens in the remaining games, there is less pressure on the remaining games as qualification is virtually guaranteed.
