Revive Liverpool

Chapter 250 Huh?Chelsea

The game between Liverpool and Arsenal started on February 25th as the kick-off of the 2th round of the Premier League.

The relationship between Liverpool and Arsenal this season is not very good. During the summer transfer period, Arsenal's offer of 4000 million and one pounds made Liverpool very dissatisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool poached Chamberlain from Arsenal, but Chamberlain who came to Liverpool suffered a serious illness at the beginning of the season, and Liverpool seemed to be at a loss.

But there is no need to care too much.

From a good point of view, Liverpool and Arsenal competed for the championship this season, digging out an important player of the opponent and weakening the strength of the opponent, which is also a good aspect for Liverpool.

Well, this is a self-consolation.

……

After a week of rest, Liverpool ushered in Arsenal's challenge at the weekend.

Before the game, the midfield circle of players from both sides paid tribute to Tony Hartley, the famous Liverpool star who had just passed away.

As soon as the game started, Liverpool got off to a fantastic start.

Only 52 seconds into the game, Gerrard sent a free kick from the left front field directly into the penalty area. Manolas succeeded in grabbing a point with his knee. Although the ball hit Szesny's body, it still flew into the net.

Liverpool [-]-[-] Arsenal.

In the 10th minute, Liverpool had a corner kick from the right front. Gerrard made a curve pass. Manolas grabbed the first point. Skrtel in the middle of the penalty area grabbed the second point.

As the highest player in the game with a height of nearly 2 meters, Mertesacker did not appear in the position he should have appeared in the two goals of the two defenders of Liverpool.

Although Wenger looked sad, he did not do anything to remind the players to cheer up.

In the 17th minute, Liverpool made a quick counterattack. After Kanter stole the ball, he split it to the right. Suarez followed up with a low pass. Sterling outflanked and pushed in the lower left corner. Liverpool led Arsenal [-]-[-].

Mertesacker, who arrived late, held his head helplessly, unable to do what he wanted.

Only 17 minutes into the game, it feels like it's over.

In the 20th minute, Coutinho intercepted the ball in midfield and sent a wonderful direct pass. Lewandowski broke through the defense and calmly pushed to the lower left corner. Liverpool rewritten the score to [-]-[-].

Liverpool led Arsenal 20-2001 in the opening 4 minutes, creating the fastest record in the history of the Red Army in the Premier League.At the same time, this is also the first time Arsenal have conceded [-] goals in half against Manchester United in [-].

In this game, Liverpool can have such a magical performance. In addition to the two set-piece goals that made Arsenal at a loss at the beginning, there is also Ramsey's injury today.

It can be seen from one game how important Ramsey is to Arsenal now. In the absence of Ramsey, Arsenal's ability to play the ball in the midfield has dropped by at least two grades, resulting in players in the midfield unable to comfortably play in other directions.

And because of Ramsey's injury, Liverpool's tactics in this game have also been specially designed.

Liverpool emptied Monreal and crazily snatched the German midfielder, betting on the German midfielder's mistakes.

Wenger's face was livid, but beneath his seriousness was endless sadness.

After Ramsey was injured by Arsenal, it was difficult to find another player who could replace Ramsey.

Facing the situation of doom, Wenger and his assistants seemed to have lost their minds, and could only watch helplessly as the team was repeatedly bullied by their opponents.

If Arsenal is compared to a wounded soldier, then Wenger has not been able to help him "stop the bleeding" and watched the soldier bleed out.

During the half-time break, for Arsenal's poor performance, BBC guest, former England international Chris Waddle commented:

"Arsenal's defense was too high. Even when the score was behind, Wenger was still immersed in his dream, hoping to change the game by controlling the midfield. Arsenal's players were lethargic throughout the game."

In the 52nd minute, Robertson made a direct pass from the left, and Sterling shot after successfully countering offside. Szczesny had reacted quickly and blocked the ball in front of the goal.

But Mertesacker failed to block Sterling, who made a supplementary shot in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal!Liverpool lead Arsenal five-nil.

The fatal point of Arsenal's defense today is Mertesacker. The reason why Sterling was able to reverse offside in this attack is also because of Mertesacker.

Mertesacker repeatedly made offside failures and became the last man behind.

However, then Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger replaced three players: Podolski, Rosicky and Gibbs replaced Giroud, Ozil and Monreal respectively.

Mertesacker was not replaced.

But in the subsequent games, Liverpool did not attack aggressively anymore, but turned to defense.

Although this game is a home game, the score is now five to zero, and the Anfield fans have enjoyed watching it very much.

Klopp, who has always advocated passion, now also lets the team practice defense.

There may be problems with Liverpool's offense this season, but Suarez and Lewandowski's hot performances make Liverpool this season do not need to worry about offense at all.

On the contrary, the defense is a bit worrying, so such an opportunity cannot be given up.

In the following games, Liverpool relied on their tenacious defense to prevent Arsenal from scoring a goal.

In the end, the referee Oliver blew the whistle for the end of the game, ending the suffering of the Arsenal fans, and the final score was fixed at [-]-[-].

Arsenal coach Wenger said in an interview after the game: "This is indeed a depressing day. We have no excuses. The opponent seized two set-piece opportunities to secure the victory. Liverpool played very well. Congratulations to them. What we have to do now is to adjust as soon as possible and regain the sense of victory."

"Daily Mail": "What happened at Anfield? 5 goals were enough to make Klopp scream, maybe when he shook hands at the end, he whispered sorry to Wenger. Leading 20-4 in the opening 0 minutes, Liverpool has never been so happy against Arsenal!"

Who was the worst performer in this game?Even though Mertesacker's performance was terrible today, in whoscored's score, Arsenal's lowest-scoring player is the German midfielder, the most valuable one in Arsenal's team!
As the core of the team's midfield, he played extremely badly in this campaign. He kept conceding the ball in the midfield. Sterling's goal came from Kanter stealing him.

Arsenal didn’t chase the goal that was lost due to his mistake? You pretend to chase, no matter whether it can stop you or not, you have to chase, right?
The attitude of the game is negative and the mentality is bad enough. Such a player is really hard to like.

The German midfielder only scored 4.27 points in this game, which is also an unprecedented low score for him!
