We keep moaning about lack of striker but what was interesting was Shearer review on our final ball - “poor decision making and lack of quality” and showed examples from March, Macallister, Trossard and Maupay . So we are not giving ourselves the best chance to score so even if we signed Kane we’d not give him the ball in space to score. So if it’s that obvious why has Potter and his team not worked on this? Or is it that decision making/quality you pay twice the money for.
The other thing I noticed yesterday was how often Liverpool players seemed to find themselves in miles of free space - either great coaching on Klopp’s part or lack of focus from our players?
52% possession against Liverpool. We are an excellent, but risk averse PL side. Liverpool have space because they are unafraid to take up positions where (a) the pass to them will be high tariff and (b) they have the psyche and players to not worry about losing the ball. It’ll take a tweak/change in philosophy (most likely) or players (most unlikely) to get the Albion to play that way.
