[인터풋볼] Reporter Oh Jong-heon = Liverpool eventually knelt at home. The dull attack power was disappointing.
Liverpool lost 0-1 to Burnley in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season held in Anfield in Liverpool, England, at 5 am (KST) on the 22nd. Liverpool failed to score points and remained in fourth place in the league (34 points).
Liverpool launched a 4-3-3 formation that day. Manet, Origi, and Chamberlain were in the forefront, while Binaldum, Thiago, and Shakiri built the midfield. In the four hundred, Robertson, Matip, Fabinho, and Arnold were paired, and Alisong kept the goal. Burnley confronted Wood, Barnes, Westwood, McNeil, Takousky and Pope.
Liverpool aimed for Burnley’s goal throughout the first half but didn’t score. In the second half, instead of Origi and Chamberlain, Salah and Firmin were offensive, but goalkeeper Alisson gave a penalty in the 38th minute of the second half. As the kicker, Barnes shook the net, which became the winning goal.
This gave Liverpool the bitter taste of defeat after 69 games at Anfield. After losing 1-2 to Crystal Palace in April 2017, he ran an undefeated march (total of 55 wins and 13 draws) in the main room for a long time, but finished against Burnley. In particular, Liverpool are suffering serious sluggishness after falling into a swamp of draws in 5 EPL games (3 draws, 2 losses).
The problem is an attack. Since the match against Newcastle United on the 31st (Korean time), it has scored four consecutive league games. Salah, Firmino, and Manet, which have been called the best tripods in Europe in the past few years, are all failing to show their skills. In Burnley, Liverpool attempted a total of 27 shots (6 effective shots) but failed to score.
It was also disappointing for the side defenders that Liverpool had been proud of. In particular, Arnold tried 18 crosses in an open play situation, but none of them were accurately connected to his teammate. It is the first time in the EPL in the past five seasons that it has scored a 0% success rate with more than 12 crosses in a match.
