(The Guardian) 32 min: Henderson zips a low pass to Salah, who wraps his foot around the ball and tries to sends it into the net ... but Mané can’t get out of the way fast enough and winds up blocking his mate’s shot. Or was that subconscious revenge for all the times Salah has declined to pass to him and instead shot from a ridiculous angle?

(The Guardian) 35 min: The Blades are neither disheartened nor rash. They continue to play their usual game, confident that they will work more openings. And they might. But so will Liverpool.
37 min: The pace has dropped. Liverpool are in control.

(The Guardian) 40 min: Gomez penalised for a foul on McGoldrick near half-way. “I see that Wayne Rooney’s debut as player coach has started with a assist on the opening goal of the match!” gasps Mary Waltz, who must be too polite to add “against Barnsley”.
42 min: McGoldrick is everywhere: winning fouls on half-way, making tackles near the dugout, playing cute passes around the centre circle. Any game now he’s scoring to add a goal to his otherwise wonderful repertoire.

(The Guardian) 44 min: Two fine tackles by Norwood and a defender, first on Mane then on Firmino, stop Liverpool from getting off a shot from the edge of the area. Then when a cross comes in, Basham leaps at it like a stage diver jumping into a crowd of thrash metallers, and heads it clear.

....45 minutes in the books! Both sides lively but Liverpool hold the advantage courtesy of an early Mo Salah goal....your halftime score from Anfield: Liverpool 1, Sheffield United 0.

(The Guardian) “I am a Klopp sceptic,” announces Paul Griffin. “I think it’s all luck and this is the year it falls apart. In fact, I’m pretty sure he’s not even German. I met a man very like him in Padstow once. He was just a foot shorter, and darker, but otherwise identical, with no trace of a German accent, and didn’t even mention football. I’ll share my theory about the moon landings later if you like. It was all done with mirrors. And geese.”

(The Guardian) “If Liverpool get record points, win the FA Cup and Champions League and do an invincible season, does that mean they’ve completed the game and everyone stops playing?” Yes. And then we’ll all have to start watching baseball instead. Oh god, can’t Wolves or someone at least win the FA Cup?

(The Guardian) 47 min: A handball by Basham gives Liverpool a freekick in a useful crossing position wide on the left. Robertson bends it right into the six-yard box. But Mane and Van Dijk can’t apply a killer touch. In Mane’s case that was mainly because Egan had his arms all over him. but the ref saw nothing awry and nor, presumably, did VAR.

(The Guardian) 49 min: O’Connell gets in front of Salah to cut out an incoming pass by Alexander-Arnold. Sheffiled United continue to defend well but have shown no sign yet in this second half that they can knock Liverpool out of their comfortable stride.
52 min:Alexander-Arnold chops on to his left foot and has a bang from 20 yards. Lundstram blocks.

(The Guardian) 54 min: Sheffield United continue to fend off Liverpool. But that’s all they’re doing. They can’t get out of their own half at the moment, which is very unlike them. Liverpool are lording it.

(The Guardian) 58 min: Henderson twirls away from two players in midfield and switches play to the other side. When it comes to Firmino on the left, the Brazilian cuts on to his right foot and lets fly with a curler from the corner of the box. It misses the far corner by inches.
