Football’s First Defender

All the problems in the Liverpool team seem to have exploded in the near future.

The team has insufficient personnel reserves, the defense is too dependent on Yang Feng, and there is even a problem that the team lacks an absolute explosive player in offense.

A lot of bad things gathered together, it was a test of Rogers' scheduling ability during this difficult period.

In the FA Cup match, Rogers, who wanted to be eliminated directly, was carried into the next round by the outstanding young players.

Bournemouth's performance was really poor. Bournemouth, who also gave up the FA Cup, was beaten at home against Liverpool's youngsters.

And then the next league, for Liverpool, is another focus battle.

In the second round of the Merseyside Derby this season, after the absence of Yang Feng and more injuries, even if Liverpool are at home against Everton, the personnel are more organized before the game Everton turned out to be the more favored side.

The rivalry between the two sides makes it inevitable that Everton will seize the opportunity to add insult to injury at Liverpool's crisis moment, and strive to cast a shadow on Liverpool's road to the championship.

However, the process and result of this Merseyside Derby surprised everyone.

On the defensive line, Liverpool did not improve much, but Liverpool's offense gave full play to its strength today.

Thanks to Flanagan's comeback, this kind of player from the pure Liverpool youth training system, playing against Everton is like a chicken blood, his state is off the charts, and his performance is exceptional.

On both ends of the offense and defense, they have contributed quite a lot to Liverpool.

Thanks to the opening of the attack on the right side, which brought up the offensive players of the whole team, Liverpool's attack like mercury poured down the ground, directly at Anfield Stadium, and won a big victory.

At the beginning of the game, Gerrard's iconic long-range shot helped Liverpool open the scoring and directly detonated the Anfield Stadium.

Sturridge, who had been plagued by injuries before, reappeared as a killer.

In the 32nd and 35th minutes of the game, two consecutive shots in the penalty area scored twice, not to mention scoring twice, which also helped Liverpool basically seal the victory at halftime.

After the start of the second half of the game, Suarez was unwilling to be lonely, and hit the goal directly with a free kick, helping the team gain a 4-goal lead.

Everton, in this game, at Anfield, was attacked by Liverpool and was helpless.

It's not that I'm not strong enough, but that the enemy has "Gundam".

Liverpool's efficient and extremely oppressive offense directly eliminated the suspense of the game.

Although it is a deadly enemy relationship, there is no suspenseful game, and it is completely impossible to mobilize the enthusiasm of Everton players.

After the two sides competed, a wave of steady "development" directly ran out of game time.

4 to 0!

In this Merseyside derby, no one expected that Liverpool, whose defense was so unstable, would achieve a clean sheet and an extremely surprising victory.

However, many people can see that the zero seals in this game are not due to the fact that Liverpool's defensive performance has returned to its original stability, but that Liverpool's purely strong offense has suppressed their opponents from having too many offensive opportunities.

The return date set by the team doctor for Yang Feng was determined to be before the first round of the Champions League knockout match against Bayern, that is, before February 20.

Liverpool fans, counting the schedule, hope that the team can stop playing with fire at the back.

However, the ideal is full, and at first it is very skinny.

Liverpool's defense is still unable to provide sufficient defensive protection.

After a rare clean sheet, Liverpool conceded 7 goals in the last three league games!

Just looking at the goal conceded data will definitely make many Liverpool fans despair, but the result of the game is still very gratifying.

Facing West Bromwich Albion in the away game, Liverpool's defense dug a hole again.

With the team leading 2-0, West Bromwich Albion, who was playing at home, made a fierce attack in the second half. Before the end of the game, they chased the score to a 2-2 tie, which made the Liverpool fans quite depressed. A poor defensive "show" by the team.

However, perhaps it is the wireless digging ability of the defense that has inspired the fighting spirit of Liverpool's offensive players in the frontcourt.

Since the lead of 2 goals is not enough, create a bigger lead.

Facing Arsenal, which has a small gap in the standings at home, countless people are expecting that Arsenal can rely on their strong offensive firepower to seize Liverpool's defensive loopholes and give Liverpool their first Premier League defeat of the season.

As far as the results are concerned, Arsenal's offensive performance of scoring 3 goals in the away game is indeed good, but Liverpool's offensive strength is even more amazing.

5 to 3!

Liverpool at home, without a solid defense led by Yang Feng, relied on a terrifying offensive firepower to directly win a strong duel that is crucial to the championship.

At the most times, Liverpool led the score 5-1, allowing Liverpool fans, with a maximum lead of 4 goals, to watch Arsenal's final "offensive performance" in a rare and comfortable way.

In this game, Liverpool's offensive frenzy was completely initiated by two "unexpected" players.

Perhaps knowing the team's defense is destined to make no contribution.

Central defender Skrtel opened the scoring with a header from the first corner kick in the first minute, opening the scoring for Liverpool.

And 10 minutes later, it was another corner kick. Skrtel made another header and scored twice.

The two goals can be regarded as Skrtel earned himself the guarantee of conceding goals in the game.

After Skrtel, in Liverpool's "3S" combination, Sterling, who had the weakest attack power, suddenly broke out.

During the counterattack, the rare choice of a shot pierced Szczesny's ten fingers and helped Liverpool expand the score to 3-0.

Although Arteta's long-range shot did not cost the game directly, but at the last moment before the first half, Sturridge's shot from outside the penalty area still gave Liverpool a 4-1 half-time lead.

Changing sides to fight again, Sterling is on the counter-attack end again, giving full play to his absolute advantage in speed, facing the goalkeeper single-handedly, and once again "rarely" directly scored a goal.

In less than 60 minutes, the 5-1 lead established a large enough lead for the team.

Although Arsenal still scored two goals after Giroud and Cazorla.

But both goals were scored after 70 minutes, which is not enough for Arsenal to start. With a score of 5 to 3, winning this strong matchup is of great significance to Liverpool's championship.

And Liverpool's offensive performances continued.

Before Yang Feng came back, Liverpool's last game, although this time the defense took the lead in digging holes, Kolo Toure's own goal gave the opponent an early lead.

The opponent's striker's counterattack goal left Liverpool behind by two goals.

But Liverpool's recent excellent offensive state has become unstoppable.

Sturridge and Coutinho's goals allowed Liverpool to equalize in the 70th minute.

After besieging the home team for 20 minutes, the game entered the first minute of stoppage time. Gerrard's heavy bombardment contributed to Liverpool's lore.

Liverpool beat Fulham 3-2 and continued to maintain their lead in the standings. Yang Feng will finally make a comeback in the next game in anticipation of Liverpool fans.
