Liverpool 4 – Southampton 0: 5 big issues in the swans chasing saints

Liverpool, under Jurgen Klopp’s team, still produces a performance that lives up to the nickname. Literally “red machine”

From the last game that shot the salute at Southampton Four pills moved the Merseyside team to become second at the top of the crowd breathing down the neck of Chelsea with just one point left.

And without counting the defeat of West Ham 3-2, “Red Machine” has shown a ruthless display of goals in four games without conceding a single goal for a total of 12 goals.

Starting from the Champions League game At home to defeat Atletico Madrid 2-0

Followed by the opening of Anfield, Arsenal demolished 4-0 in the league game, followed by the Champions League game. Soft cut, Porto 2-0

Until recently, Liverpool managed to crush Saints 4-0 and here are 5 key points in the game where Klopp’s team abused visitors under the reins of Ralph Hasenhättel.

1. Diogo Chota, complete with Tom Yum

Liverpool could lose Roberto Firmino, who suffered a hamstring injury that Klopp described in early November as serious.

Of course, the Samba striker is still at the heart of the team, but Liverpool have a strong enough support team.

And Reds fans need not worry at all as Jota is ready to intervene on the field at any time.

Importantly, since moving from Wolves, Jota has alternated with Firmino, having played for the club since last year. and with the current form entering the sheath So he pressed two more goals in the collapse game. Southampton This was his fourth goal in four games in all competitions.

It is natural for Klopp to pay special tribute to Jota after the Saints clash, as the 24-year-old has been drawn above both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. which he demonstrated to be in the right place at the right time to touch the target really well

2. Andrew Robertson is outstanding.

The Scotland captain may have had a poor season with poor form. and not as fit as they should be until affecting the performance on the field

As a result, left-back rivals Costas Simikas have made more frequent starts in the league.

even in the game with Southampton, where the original “Robbo” has restored his tough form, which can be seen as his attacking action on the left flanks, supporting the attacking goals in a bold manner.

And just a few minutes into the game against the Saints, Robertson passed the ball for Jota, slamming the home goal into the lead, causing his teammates to join him in congratulating him.

3. Ibrahima Konate’s formidable stats

Konate has continued to play again. And changed the partner in the center half from Joel Matip in the Champions League game, winning 2-0 at Porto to Virgil van Dijk, a former Southampton defender.

After joining from RB Leipzig in the summer for a fee of £35 million, the 22-year-old Frenchman immediately shook his head at Liverpool.

and with strength As well as his defensive talent, Konate has so far produced a remarkable performance with six clean sheets in six appearances, meaning he has yet to concede a goal in defence. to “Red Machine”

Konate also saved the team from a break from the net early in the second half when Adam Armstrong’s shot blocked the shot that was likely to break the ball. Southampton, see

4.Southampton Ruined from start to finish

To define the Saints team over the three years of Ralph Hasenhuttl It wouldn’t be wrong to use the word “Absolutely can’t sleep at all”

From having a good time, now “The Saints” has returned to the bottom and went down again.

The more I come across a team that has a brutal attack game, the permanent secretary says Liverpool, they have no right to resist. and easily lose the goal

It can be said that every time Liverpool invade Southampton. I have the opportunity to bloom at every stage, even Hasenhuttle Will put three quarterbacks, focusing on full cohesion, however.

It is therefore not uncommon for the guests to change their plans in the second half by removing Jan Bednarek and turning to the back-four system instead. But it almost didn’t reduce the loss at all.

5. Alisson, sticky, does not change

As a matter of fact, Liverpool have a number of generals who have shown great form in the game against Southampton

Whether it’s Fabinho, who can control the game in the middle Including two full-backs who can enhance the offensive game all the time until it makes it easier for the attackers to play together as a team.

However, it is not the first time this season that Alisson has been in superb goalkeeping and has seven clean sheets in 12 Premier League games.

As you can see, the Saints have the opportunity to penetrate the target many times, not play. But the Brazilian national team goalkeeper has an excellent reaction. Quickly move away from the goal line, denying the visiting team’s chance of checking the bill.

At the same time, before the end of the first half, the Latin goalkeeper also showed a gluttony, pushing Adam Armstrong’s shot out of the goal frame as well.

All in all, the Samba Dan Net master proved that he was one of the Toungoos. Truly another important member of “Red Machine”.
