Liverpool: Moving the Ball Quickly

Liverpool was very clear with their strategy of moving the ball quickly against the Spurs’ well-maintained low-block.

The quick movements resulted in Spur having to quickly cover the half-spaces which resulted in a lot of space being created in the final third which the wingers in form of Salah and Mané was exploiting as they were found quite a few times aiming towards the goal which became quite a repeatable event throughout the course of the match. Curtis Jones was also finding the spaces to play in the zone 14.

Tottenham: Counter-Offensive Strategy

Tottenham Hotspurs were relying a lot on their pace while they hit Liverpool on the counter.

In case of no players being present Kane was holding the ball waiting for Son and Bergwijn to make the run from behind of Liverpool’s defenders. Spurs successfully applied the strategy as Son scored against Liverpool. at the closing stages of the first half. The strategy remained the same in the second half as Bergwijn was agonisingly close to scoring the second goal for Spurs.

Liverpool’s Dynamic Midfield

Liverpool’s most impressive aspect yesterday was their midfield. Liverpool were controlling the midfield as they cancelled out any chances for Spurs to break out in attack. Liverpool’s midfielders were retaining the ball brilliantly even in a 2 vs. 1 situations where Henderson, Wijnaldum and Curtis Jones were under heavy pressure. Henderson was controlling with the tempo of the game. As a result, Liverpool was changing the tempo of the game and were changing their gears. As a result Spurs despite of playing low blocks couldn’t win back the balls in the deeper areas.

Wasteful Spurs Upfront

Spurs were not in their usual self as the London side looked wasteful in front of the goal. A team who plays in a low block can’t afford to be wasteful in front of the goal but Spurs were found guilty of doing that. In quite a few occasion. The misses from Bergwijn and Kane proved costly for Spurs. As a result, despite implementing a low block tactics the Spurs were finding themselves in a muddle upfront.

Dream Debut for Rhys Williams

It was a dream come true for Rhys Williams as he made his Premier League debut for his club. Rhys was indeed the man to watch out for in future. Liverpool were looking imperious in the back as Rhys’s aerial prowess came handy against the towering presence of  Harry Kane. He was also comfortable with the ball as he played the ball with confidence, he also presented Salah with a golden opportunity upfront. It will be interesting to see the growth of this 19-year-old academy lad.
