Somewhat out-of-tune playing style and mistakes left Liverpool empty-handed in their away trip to Arsenal in round 23 of the Premier League.

No Salah, no mutation

Unlike the smoothness and fiery playing style over the past time, coach Jurgen Klopp’s team played very lacklusterly against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Right after the opening whistle, Liverpool showed cоnfusiоn in the ball deployment phases and lacked a plan to coordinate and approach the opponent’s goal. Almost all Red Brigade lines were divided, leading to lack of communication.

Liverpool played incredibly weakly against Arsenal.The absence of Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah along with Darwin Nunez on the bench greatly affected Liverpool’s creativity. Against a strong opponent like the London Gunners, the remaining factors failed to develop their abilities, causing The Kop to lose . 

Alisson is possessed

The Red Devils of Merseyside could have received a more positive result if it were not for goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s blameworthy mistake in the 67th minute. Starting from a seemingly harmless kιck-off situation by Gabriel Magalhaes, the goalkeeper The 31-year-old Temple missed the ball so Gabriel Martinelli could easily score to increase the score to 2-1.

Alisson Becker made a fatal mistake that caused Liverpool to lose the match.

This was also the ball that created a major turning point in the match and The Kop collapsed. The performance of the Brazilian element on the Red Brigade side was only scored 6.2 points by SofaScore, the second lowest among the names competing in this match.

Endo nostalgia

This was a match in which Liverpool ‘s ability to defend from a distance was seriously questioned when Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberg both played below their strength. The Argentine factor had a dangerous loss of the ball in the first half, causing the home team to almost concede a goal while the Dutch midfielder continued to play not as well as in recent matches. The absence of Wataru Endo because he is busy attending the 2023 Asian Cup has greatly affected The Kop. However, they will soon have the services of the Japanese player in the next few days when “Blue Samurai” has just been eliminated.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is scаred

Unlike his high form before the ιnjury period, Trent Alexander-Arnold was also a black mark for the Red Brigade in the last match. In the first half, he passed the ball right into the opponent’s feet, but luckily for Liverpool, Arsenal did not take advantage of the opportunity.

Liverpool played under strength at the Emirates.

The brilliance of junior Conor Bradley in the last 2 matches with 1 goal and 4 assists also affected the playing psychology of the 1998-born defender (competing for position). The Kop’s vice-captain also did not have many breakthrough plays in the last match.

Konate’s red card

In the 55th minute of the match, Ibrahima Konate received a yellow card from referee Anthony Taylor after a foul play on an opposing player. Then, in the 85th minute, the French player continued to make a mistake when he knocked down Kai Havertz and was disqualified, ending a forgettable day for Liverpool personally and collectively. After this duel, coach Jurgen Klopp’s team will have a lot of work to do if they want to continue competing for the Premier League crown this season.
