Sam Allardyce remains a staunch Liverpool boss after he led West Bromwich Albion to invade the “Reds” 1-1 at Anfield. At the English Premier League match on Sunday, December 27th. As a result, they unfortunately missed the opportunity to score points away from their competitors to win the league title.
The match looked good as the home team scored a first-half lead from Sadio Mane, but with “Big Sam’s tactical focus on defense, Jürgen Klopp’s team couldn’t make the game. He can punch and score a goal. And finally he got hit by Sami Ajayi’s teden equalizing the last 10 minutes
“The Reds” have only 1 point, they lead Everton to the crowd with only 3 points. As a result, the league title victory this season is even more intense as both Leicester City, Manchester United and Manchester City have the opportunity to score points to chase the former champions.
1. Good, but not attractive (objective)
Liverpool have shown the potential to dominate the game. But what they still can’t fix is that they have to face teams that focus on strong defenses, especially West Bromwich Albion, the army of the “reds” cannot penetrate the fear zone. Blaming many competitors
“Los Rojos” had better ball control than “Los Bolsos” in the first half. Before they got a goal from Sadio Mane, which was an assist from Choe Almatip, then they failed to destroy the iron wall that Sam Allardyce had tactically placed.
In the second half, the home team managed to do the same: possession of the ball. Pass the ball from one side of the field to the other. And finally you have to end the opening of the ball from the left and right edge. But he could not do anything in a well-trained defensive game to defend himself against this offensive style of the former champions. And finally, patience mixed with the reckless play of “Reds” led to an important point from West Brom.
Despite Liverpool having had a lot of balls in this game, they only had two chances to hit the target. The first time was the moment when Mane scored the goal for the team to lead. The other hit was a header from Roberto Firmino, but Sam Johnstone narrowly brushed it with the tip of his finger. In addition, the home team could do nothing more than carry the ball from one side to the other.
2. The injury problem has returned.
Everyone knows that injury is a football match, especially with a tight schedule like the Premier League, but Liverpool have to say they have more injuries than they expected. Especially in the central defense position
Recently, fans of “The Kop” were disappointed once again when Joel Matip suffered a groin injury in the second half, prompting Jurgen Klopp to dispatch Reese Williams’ defense. The rising star came down to play against him Who must admit that the foul Cameroonian star Contributed to the defensive game of the “Reds” until they tied
As for Matip’s latest injury, it means that the team’s three main center-backs will not be able to enter the field, so center-back Fabinho is required. He wants to be the No. 1 center back on the team right now. As for partner Williams and Nathaniel Phillips, or optional Jordan Henderson, he is.
So this must have prompted Klopp and the management to talk about buying an experienced center-back to help the team during the second round of transfers that will open a few days later. That if they do not buy the bag This task, defending the plans of the champions, can be several times more difficult.
3. Liver wanted a game like Thiago
The signing of Thiago Alcantara was due to the reasons of the team facing this situation. That is, having a strong opponent in the game. Therefore, a player who has the potential to open the ball in a sharp box AND have the ability to do tricks is very necessary.
Spanish star Full of intelligence AND creative thinking in building games from the core area to penetrate dense human walls. In addition to the opening from the edge of the line from the end of the stallion Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
This format shows that the Reds will need players like Thiago to help shape the game because they will face so many more defensive opponents this season. That’s why Klopp decided to sign the players. Still, this is a sign that the former champion will likely have another Thiago player in the future.
At the moment, Naby Keita has shown that he too can be a game changer. Unfortunately, he often gets hurt. Until he rarely has the opportunity to enter the field, which makes the talent of the players not develop as it should It can be seen that in the game against Brighton, Fulham and West Brom, if the team has players like Tiago or Keita , the team is likely to create several times more opportunities.
If Thiago is in top form, he can return to the field. He will be a key player in games like this because Liverpool are likely to face opponents, be they relegated teams. Or the team that doesn’t want to see the “Reds” defend the championship using the same tactics, that is, focusing on deep defense.
4. You can still use the magic of the mane.
Klopp chose to use the “Rock Iron Fire” Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino to get back together on the offensive line. After the last game, “Bang Mo” fell in the match at Liverpool, chasing “The Eagles” Crystal Palace 7-0.
Against West Brom, Mane is certainly putting on an outstanding performance as he usually does. By the coach to send the ball to the back of the net, making the team lead first In which the away game Palace also referred to the goal Making the players now full of confidence
It can be seen that in the first half Senegalese football star shows outstanding form, including speed, movement and positioning. And strength that its potential is always causing problems for the visiting team’s defensive game. But sadly, the second half has little chance. Because West Brom has a special focus on receiving
Of the 41 matches in the English Premier League for the speedy striker of the Senegalese national team. Scoring a goal at Anfield They managed to win 39 games, and only West Brom (last game) and Leicester City “Foxes” were able to break the point here.
5. This game “Big Sam” knows how to play.
Sam Allardyce has always been teased for being a conservative coach who plays direct soccer. Or a long shot from back to front, not interested in using the midfielder position to shape the game, but “Big Sam” knows how he will have to put the tactic to face a team like Liverpool.
Remember, Allardyce is the latest manager to make a splash in Premier League play. At Anfield When he led the team at Anfield more than three years ago, he was the leader then. “Toffee Blue” Everton and “The Baggies” can break points in this mega mega movie.
Although in the first half, the “Reds” will suppress West Brom until the end. And they can always dominate the game, but one thing is clear, the hosts cannot penetrate much of the danger around the penalty area. Except for the moment when Mane just hit the door opening the groove
However, in the second half, Allardyce saw Liverpool fail to resolve a tough defensive game. Giving them the courage to open the game and enter And have the opportunity to create fear many times Until receiving the award for effort from Sami Ajayi
I must say that 1 point at Anfield could be a critical rating for West Bromwich’s survival.
