Chapter 1166 The reason why Liverpool is bad

Newcastle really have no fighting spirit.

This team is quite mediocre, the management has no ambitions, and the players are of course fooling around. With their financial resources, they will not be relegated. It is enough to stay in the Premier League all the time. It is hard for the fans. The team they support is so Without strength, they can only sigh—or else?Can I still support other teams?

Besides, Newcastle doesn't even have any other team, and the closest one is Sunderland, so it might as well support Newcastle. The Black Cats are also embarrassing now, much worse than the Magpies.

Under such circumstances, even Newcastle fans didn't expect to get any decent results under such circumstances, which is actually the case.

Ji Ya continued to rotate a lot in this game, allowing many main players to rest, and even Du Yue sat on the bench, preparing for the next mid-week make-up game-after the mid-week make-up game, the weekend is another one The FA Cup, the old-fashioned and traditions of the Premier League are fully displayed in the FA Cup. The other leagues are mainly the league, and the cups are placed in the middle of the week. Only the Premier League, the League Cup is still placed in the middle of the week, but the FA The main matches of the Premier League are held on weekends, which is also one of the biggest features of the Premier League.

Compared with the make-up match against Liverpool, the game against Newcastle is naturally less important.

Of course, even if the game itself is not important, the three points in this game are still very important.

At the Sports Direct Stadium, Southampton controlled the situation from the beginning of the game, and then kept looking for opportunities.

In fact, Newcastle has quite a few good players. Saint-Maximin, Almiron, Wilson, Willock, and Shelvey are all very good attackers, but they don't have high fighting spirit, and they don't cooperate well with each other. In the same way, there are no particularly outstanding players in the defense in the past three years. They can score some goals, but concede more goals. This is the status quo of Newcastle.

Perhaps if the club had ambitions, given enough incentives to the players, and had a manager who could hold the team together, Newcastle would be able to perform even better.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, what they can display on the court is always only the personal abilities of a few offensive players.

In this game, their performance was not bad in terms of offense. Almiron and Willock scored a goal each in the first half. Grealish scored a goal each, and Du Yue, who came off the bench in the second half, scored the third goal. Chilwell sealed the victory before the whistle. Leading position!

And in another game, City held on to their place as they beat Liverpool [-]-[-] away - a disgrace for Liverpool, although it's clear they're not in as good form as they were last season. During the zero-to-zero first half, their onslaught was contained by Manchester City. After their physical fitness declined, they were almost destroyed by Manchester City.

Especially when Salah once equalized the score, Manchester City scored three goals in 10 minutes and completely won the game.

Liverpool's tactics are indeed relatively overdrawn. For Klopp, it's not that he doesn't want to build a midfielder well, but with limited resources, he can only give priority to taking care of the striker. Now it is starting to decline, and it seems very difficult normal.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Southampton.

Liverpool, who had just suffered a disastrous defeat, immediately met them in the make-up match, while the Southampton players took a good rest. Under such an advantage, they were still at home, facing Liverpool, Southampton obviously With a greater grasp.

It's not that Guardiola doesn't know that beating Liverpool is tantamount to cheaper Southampton, but it's impossible for him to release water in this game-after all, Manchester City's own results are the most important.

In the final analysis, Southampton is strong enough, so even if such convenience does not appear, it will not have much impact on them.

When the Liverpool team came to Southampton, it could be said that they were in mourning. As a team that performed well last season, they double-killed Southampton in the league, but were eliminated by Southampton in the Champions League. It's hard to say whether they really have an advantage over Southampton.

And this season's meeting, Southampton must be full of energy to beat Liverpool. After all, in terms of Southampton's current situation, just winning the championship is nothing special, and they have to beat Liverpool in a face-to-face match. Only these opponents can prove their outstanding performance and strong strength!

Regarding this mentality, in fact, Klopp is also aware of it. It seems that after gaining such an advantage last season, he also wanted to get as many points as possible to prove that we are really good, not that the opponent is too hip.

It's just that when it's someone else's turn to treat me like this, it's really hard to bear.

But Klopp would not call Ji Ya before the game, not to mention that Ji Ya would not release water, even if he did, Klopp's self-esteem would not allow him to do so.

Now Liverpool ranks fifth, three points behind Leicester City, which is fourth, but under such circumstances, they will not be too anxious. After all, Leicester City's strength is still limited. As long as Liverpool has no problems, The top four can still be guaranteed, so in this game, Klopp has no worries, nothing more than letting all the main players who can play...

Liverpool's poor performance this season is actually related to their shortage of central defenders. All the serious central defenders are injured. He can only let Henderson and Fabinho come to play central defenders. Or directly for so long, no matter how good the team is , and can't stand such a toss.

In this game, Liverpool's starting midfield is still picturesque. The trident Mane, Salah, Firmino, and the midfielders are Chamberlain, Thiago and Wijnaldum. They are the top ones in any team. However, on the defensive line, the two full-backs are Arnold and Robertson. Binho partner...

Henderson and Fabinho are of course excellent players. Although Liverpool's midfield is considered the weakest link, these midfielders are nothing more than a lack of a top playmaker. As role players, their strength Still very good, Henderson and Fabinho are the best of them.

But the outstanding player in the midfield is nothing if he is placed in the position of central defender.

With such a combination of central defenders, it is indeed a bit overthinking to resist Southampton's wolves and tigers.
