Chapter 538 Liverpool need to solve the problem
Liverpool's loss to Real Madrid in good shape at home was generally predicted by the outside world before the game, because Liverpool has many problems. Even though the team had two consecutive victories in the league before, there is still a big gap compared to Real Madrid today.
Even if Liverpool wins in a row, it has not been recognized by everyone. Firstly, it is because the opponent is not strong, and secondly, Liverpool has not shown too strong suppression in the game.
Compared with Liverpool, which was invincible last season, Liverpool this season is definitely a bit mediocre.
In the home game against Real Madrid, Liverpool showed a considerable gap with Real Madrid on both offense and defense, and was completely suppressed by Real Madrid at Anfield.
This is Anfield Stadium, which has become empty talk today. Liverpool did not pose too much threat to Real Madrid.
Liverpool's current dilemma has also been extended to experts' interpretation of the Premier League in the new season.
Compared with Chelsea, which has been strong this season, and Manchester City, which doubled Liverpool in the beginning of the game, many people believe that Liverpool's defending journey may be doomed to end in failure.
However, Liverpool doesn't think so.
Although he lost in the Champions League, Liverpool still wants to prove himself in the league.
At home against Hull City, Rodgers carefully prepared the team tactics and wanted to exert the players' self-confidence in a mid-range team like Hull City.
However, after the game, Liverpool won the victory, but this victory from Liverpool came in extremely difficult times and was very "ugly".
The whole team launched a full siege on the visiting team Hull City at home at Anfield, but did not create too good offensive opportunities.
Liverpool still returned to the core issues of the previous games and did not score points after gaining the upper hand.
Compared to a few seasons ago, Liverpool could simply rely on accumulating offensive players to create offensive opportunities by creating different situations under the coaching of Daglish.
Now Liverpool's forward lacks height on the line, and the players do not have such strong ability to grab points on the spot in the penalty area.
Even if Rodgers allowed two full-backs to assist in advance, the crossing effect on the flank was not good, and there were insufficient threatening receivers in the middle.
The effect of balling on the wing is not good, and the passing penetration is not as good as last season. Everyone wants to play and prove themselves, but the team is not good and the team is even worse.
Liverpool, which lacks offensive creativity, was struggling to end 0-0 in such a game against Hull City, and finally needed to rely on Yang Feng to stand up and break the deadlock.
Liverpool's corner kick opportunity in 83 minutes.
With the active running interlude of Sturridge and Balotelli, Yang Feng finally got an opportunity to compete for the top in front of the goal without enough defensive pressure.
Yang Feng, who had been double-teaming before, faced his opponent's one-man defense this time, easily threw away the defender, won the space to jump, and completed the head-swinging attack.
Hull City goalkeeper, who contributed a wonderful save in front of the goal, had no choice but to face the header that Yang Feng flew to the dead corner.
1 to 0!
It was precisely because of Yang Feng's key header that Liverpool struggled to win at home.
Relying on the central defender's goal, he won the final moments of the game with difficulty. Liverpool's team's overall offense can be seen.
But no matter what, at least it has won three consecutive league games. For Liverpool, the improvement of the team's league record is obvious.
After this game, Liverpool, who had fallen into the middle and lower reaches of the league at the beginning of the season, returned to the top four in the league, and West Ham United is not strong in front of him.
In terms of points simply, there is no doubt that at least Liverpool is now third among the six giants after Chelsea and Manchester City.
The remaining three quarters have their own problems at the beginning of the season. Liverpool's record has at least recovered.
In the Midweek League Cup, Liverpool's substitute played a singular song again, Liverpool challenged Newcastle away on the weekend.
Newcastle has been in the season so far, with 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, and the team has many problems on both offense and defense.
However, at his home court, Newcastle performed extremely well in this game.
The team's extremely oppressive pressing directly dispersed Liverpool's pass-and-control style.
The offensive organization of Liverpool midfielders has begun to become unsuccessful, let alone find ways to break Newcastle's defense.
On the contrary, Newcastle, relying on strong defense, brings more counterattack opportunities, constantly threatening the defense line behind Liverpool offensive players.
Yang Feng's strength is limited. Although Yang Feng made many successful defenses in the game, he still could not defend them. All attacks from Newcastle.
It is also the room left by the teammates in front of me that is too big.
In the face of a Newcastle defensive counterattack of 3-for-2, Yang Feng wanted to step forward and directly compensate for a foul to stop the opponent's advancement, but the opponent passed the ball first. In the face of the referee's favorable attack gesture, the opponent played 2-for-1, and passed it continuously, playing with Scotter and Minoole, and finally hit the empty goal, which made Liverpool fall behind away.
Although Liverpool has caught up and Liverpool's offensive has indeed improved, it still does not have too strong offensiveness.
In the end, Newcastle defeated Liverpool with its strong iron barrel formation at home and won a 1-0 upset score.
Liverpool, the beautiful coat of three consecutive league wins, covered up the problem of offensive weakness, was once again mentioned by people due to the defeat in this game.
"Another Tottenham! Once you change more, it's useless!"
"From the 2s to the 3s last season, I'm back to the 2s, but S has changed, Liverpool's offense has changed so much."
"Last season, I thought Sterling and Coutinho were absolutely young talents, and I thought Sturric was a super shooter who was comparable to Suarez, but this season, they performed so badly after lacking Suarez."
Everything is most afraid of comparison. Without comparison, there is no harm.
The gap between the two Liverpool teams after a few months was so big that everyone had never expected, especially for some champion fans who had been a few months ago, they were instantly lost. Liverpool seemed to be beaten back to their original form and became the target of attack by many fans.
Of course, under such a bad situation, Yang Feng has always been a clear stream in Liverpool's team.
Not only Yang Feng's basic plan, domestic fans appreciate Yang Feng, but also many foreign fans and professional football players sincerely appreciate Yang Feng's performance.
It was even made clear that when Liverpool's offense was so unthreatening, Yang Feng's defense helped Liverpool a lot, otherwise Liverpool would lose a lot in some games, and Liverpool would not be able to win some games at all.
However, no matter how good your personal evaluation is, it is useless. Yang Feng wants to win and the team's victory, while Liverpool urgently needs to regain confidence and find a solution to the current problem.
