King Salah, who once led the Red Army out of the dark, returned to the bench in frustration and expressed his dissatisfaction with body language. Salah ranked first in the Premier League scorer list with a goal of 17, and has not scored in three consecutive games. The game didn't help the team except for a shot blocked by a Chelsea defender. The performance was replaced early. What can the Pharaoh of Egypt complain about?
Klopp explained why he replaced Salah after the game. "I observed that his reaction was a bit slow. This may be because he played too many games. His physical condition is not at its best and he needs to rest. "
Klopp will always protect his players in public, but he didn't actually talk about such a detail. In 57 minutes, he loudly defended Salah, but Salah didn't listen to him at all and wandered back.
In the analysis of the post-Sky Sports Studio program, Redknapp and commentator Carragher both thought that klopp was actually sending a signal to all Liverpool players that no one could enjoy the privilege, even the top scorer in the Premier League, even if Liverpool needed a goal badly.
But why can't Liverpool score?
After losing three games in a row, Liverpool finally found the old system of high-pressure position grabbing and creating opportunities in the Champions League against Leipzig, but then lost 2-0 to Everton. Although we beat Sheffield United 2-0 away four days ago, today, facing Chelsea, which is also excellent in defense, Liverpool's goal is once again at a loss.
Liverpool's tactics have not changed much compared with when they won the Premier League title last season, but the Premier League teams with excellent defensive organization have gradually become accustomed to continuous cracking under high pressure, and Liverpool's chances in the frontcourt are even less.
After Tuchel came, he organized Chelsea's defense well. 10 conceded only two goals in the game, and achieved an impressive record of 7 wins and 3 draws, with the score climbing from 9th to 4th. In Tuchel's 343 (strictly speaking, 3-4-2- 1) formation, the third centre-backs Rudiger, Christensen and Azpiriqueta are steady from left to right, while the two wingers Zitford and James are fast and good at fighting. Liverpool's high-pressure grab will get a lot of counter-grab opportunities when encountering weak teams, but it is helpless when facing Chelsea's defense. Salah didn't create chances in this game.
Liverpool had only 7 shots in this game, only 1 shot. Throughout the game, you will feel that Liverpool can't score at all.
After the game, klopp also talked about this issue. He thinks Liverpool have done a good job in passing and catching the ball, but they are not as good as before in the final fatal pass.
Commentator Carragher believes that Liverpool need a player with the number 10, and many Liverpool fans will think of Coutinho. At the same time, they need a new shooter.
The rumor that Salah may leave the team is not a day or two. Combined with today's early substitution and his agent's random voice on social media, Liverpool really need a substitution next season.
Klopp has always stressed that Liverpool will not rebuild next season, but will make adjustments. This sentence implies profound meaning. Where can Fenway Group and Liverpool rebuild? Especially when Liverpool lost the Champions League qualification.
The competition in the top four of the Premier League is very fierce. Liverpool's failure to make the top four is not alarmist.
Every time the Premier League plays a round, the standings will fluctuate violently from fourth to eighth, and the situation of the Premier League competing for fourth place is still confusing. With the 1 1 wheel, all kinds of magical things can happen.
If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can't adjust Manchester United's attack and continue to play 0-0, he will fall from the second place to the top four. After Chelsea beat Liverpool away 1-0, Tuchel remained unbeaten after taking office, and the Blue Army was in full swing, and it was very likely to win the runner-up. Leicester city is also a strong contender for the runner-up, but they also have to solve the goal problem, and striker Valdi needs to adjust his state. Ancelotti's Everton is very stable and is likely to beat Manchester United, Liverpool and West Ham to fourth place in the league.
For Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham in the so-called top six, it would be disastrous if they could not qualify for the Champions League. This will greatly affect the annual budget of their respective clubs. Under the influence of the epidemic, the spending of the giants has not decreased, but the income has decreased by at least 654.38 billion pounds. If you can't get income from the Champions League next season, it means that the summer transfer market will not spend any more money.
Liverpool, which has always lived within its means, has been unable to maintain its competitiveness at the top of the Premier League after winning the Premier League title 30 years later.
Carefully calculate the business philosophy of Wei Fen Sports Group.
With the income of Liverpool Football Club dropping sharply, Liverpool's controlling shareholder FSW will not spend much money on signings this summer, so forget about Mbappé.
Fenway bought Liverpool at a record high price, sold Coutinho, and then brought in goalkeeper Aresen and defender Van Dyke, which formed a strong high-pressure grab system and stabilized the defense.
Therefore, Wei Fen Sports Group and its boss Henry have always insisted on the idea of selling people first and buying people after getting the money. Salah and Manet are worth 65.438+0.2 billion euros. Only by selling Manet and Salah at the same time can Liverpool compete for Mbappé worth 65.438 billion euros. But in fact, this will not happen. If Liverpool release people, it will only release Salah.
Kabak, who was introduced in the winter transfer, has limited strength, but only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. When Van Dyke and Gomez come back from injury, Liverpool will indeed regain defensive hardness, but this will not solve the offensive problem.
Wijnaldum's main task in midfield is defense. Tiago is very creative, but he is not the kind of 10 player. Henderson has had to play central defender many times this season. In fact, when he is in midfield, Liverpool's offensive and defensive conversion rhythm will be better. Jota will take the place of teenager Jones when he returns from injury. However, under the influence of injury, Liverpool's midfielder not only lost his creativity, but also lost the power to cooperate with the striker's high-pressure attack.
If Liverpool don't make substantial personnel changes this summer, it is obvious that last season's Premier League champion will often miss the Champions League in the next few seasons.
If many friends ask what happened to Liverpool, the summary is as follows:
First, injuries bother people and people are incomplete, which is a cliche.
Second, klopp's tactical software should be upgraded. The tactics of grabbing the attack opportunity from a high position have not been upgraded like Guardiola's passing control.
Arnold likes to press opponents at Chelsea's level and make full use of the space behind him, which is Liverpool's weakness.
Fourth, after winning the Champions League trophy last season and the first Premier League title in 30 years, Liverpool players lost their motivation to move forward.
5. When there is no singing at Anfield, which team's home record has the greatest influence? Liverpool.
