The offensive line is poor, the rising star does not hit! Split 5 problems: Liverpool lost at home in Talanta

Liverpool had a disappointing performance in the opening match at Anfield, losing 2-0 in the D4 group stage of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday 25 November. Giving them a chance to qualify for the 16 finalists

“The Reds” often do well in league games at Anfield. But back in the European game in a different way AND the visiting team managed to overcome 2 goals from Josip Ilisic and Robin Gosens, which resulted in a painful loss to the home team in this match.

For the situation at the moment, four games have been played, Liverpool has 9 points, leading the crowd, while Atalanta has 7 points, the same as Ajax Amsterdam, but the ball is second, making it third, with the half and still holding the plum. qualification

1. Salah, the physical condition is not adequate

Mohamed Salah didn’t really fit into this game, but he could claim that the player had just recovered from the coronavirus infection. Causing the form to remain inconsistent Also, his physical condition doesn’t appear to be complete yet, but Klopp took the field because he wanted him to regain his familiarity with the game.

“Bang Mo” usually catches the ball with his feet. But in this game he did not touch the first ball well. Standing in the wrong position. In addition, at the beginning of the game, Salah returned the value after an error, being sent to Josip Elisic to be dragged out of the area, but the ball fell off the post, which if it was the same Egyptian star. This kind of thing will definitely never happen.

In truth, Salah has a completely incapacitated condition. The pace of dealing with opponents isn’t that great, so Klopp would have chosen him as a substitute rather than a starter. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Roberto Firmino to be sent in his place. The mummy 1 hour after the game

2. The protagonist of the play is still worrying.

Optajoe statistics indicate that Liverpool have become the first team after Arsenal to send three young players from the UK to start their UEFA Champions League match since then. In 2009, it seems that his young players are not enjoying themselves much.

Curtis Jones, Reese Williams and Neco Williams, 19, have had the opportunity to start in the most important soccer game in European football. Because the main player of “Los Rojos” was injured in several games.

However, his performance in this game was not very impressive, starting with Rhys Williams still unable to coordinate with Joel Matip, and several times he went out of position. And involved with the timing of the team’s second goal against Atalanta

While in the right-back position, Neko can play the defensive game quite well. But on the offensive side, I have to say that he is disappointing compared to Trent Alexander-Arnold. They often fill the attacking game. And there is a trick to opening the ball from the side to give the team a chance to score goals.

Jones, who was in midfield with Georgy Vijnaldum and James Milner, was deemed poor. Cannot help the team penetrate the visiting team’s defensive line at all

3. Attack game lacks sharpness

Klopp continued to bet on the 4-3-3 system this game, his usual tactic. But for the game against Atalanta, the team’s offensive line appears to be extremely rigid. Not because the system is not good, but it should be a Match 3 that is not supported in this game.

The German chief used Salah, Sadio Mane and Divock Origi to hunt down the Bergamo nets. If you look at the mat, the class names of the three players should be enough to guarantee that the “Reds” have goals in this match.

However, all three matches in this game disappointed the Kop supporters because they only had one shot from Mo Salah and did not enter the frame. This sort of thing rarely happened when Klopp took command of the Anfield team.

For the list of Mane and Salah, although this game will not be played. But they wouldn’t blame him too much, Origi would have to admit that his time with Liverpool’s starting lineup is very low. I wonder if the great gods of the Belgian star spell will gradually disappear.

4. Ignore the benefits of Minamino.

Takumi Minamino could have had to do an amazing job for Klopp to actually pick him up. Due to the size of the game that “Reds” looks like, you don’t need to be as dedicated to the game against Atalanta, Mr. Doytsch. He still overlooks using it to play

The offensive line of the Japanese team seems to have had more opportunities at the beginning of this season. After his outstanding performance, he scored a goal in Charity Shield game, Charity Shield and also scored 2 goals in Carabao Cup. How much is popp

Even with Firmino’s downfall and injury issues on the offensive line, Minamino still had to watch his friends play on the bench. In the game against Atalanta, of course, “Los Rojos” had 9 points, a good crowd and the situation was quite relaxed. Of course, there is a possibility that he plays for real.

In the end, Klopp kept catching players as substitutes. Before falling into the final five minutes, of course, that wasn’t enough time for him to get out of shape. However, Minamino must keep waiting for his chance.

5. The good group situation is still open.

If the “reds” can win at Anfield in this game It would be enough for them to float into the round of 16, but when the team lost to Ajax, Amsterdam managed to extinguish Midtillland, which means that coach Jürgen Klopp’s team has yet to guarantee. . Hit the knockout rounds

For the next game, they have the idea of ​​opening a house against Ajax on Tuesday, December 1 and then they have to travel to Midtjylland in Denmark. In the following week So they will have to focus a lot on these two games. If you don’t want to shed tears during the group stage

Although Liverpool only need to win one of the two remaining matches to guarantee a knockout qualification, Klopp’s loss of home advantage in this match is disappointing. Because they just made a history unbeaten in their 64 straight league games at Anfield.

So in the next game against Ajax, they will have to regain faith at home for the big European Cup game again.
