It is high time for Clop to eradicate their faith in certain players
When Jurgen Klop read the thoughts of Deyan Lovren a few days before Liverpool`s megapolis with Manchester United, his trademark smile would have faded away.
I like to play against big strikers, top attackers. They (United) are not in their best shape, but they still win ugly. On the other hand, we never play for one point. And so on, etc. , from the kind of things we love in a smile to innocently define as a series of thin teas to the eternal rival. Well, you got it right, Deyan
If there is only one thing that can be deduced from this curious case, it is that Clop is not even close to building such protection that is needed for a serious challenge to the title. And there is a great chance this red defense will be painfully revealed in the next stages of the Champions League when the meetings with the big names of the Old Continent are coming.
Yes, it would be too easy to target every possible arrow to the inadequate Lovren.
It would be too easy to point out that he was bouncing off Romwell Lukaku as a rapist, running straight to the wall of an inflatable castle.
It would be too easy to point out that he just stood in the spotlight and watched as Lukaku headed Marcus Rashford`s first goal assistant.
It would be too easy to point out that he fell backwards on the ground when he allowed Lukaku to start the attack that ended with Rapsford`s slightly lucky second goal.
It would be too easy to point out that he remained completely out of focus for the ambush line and allowed Juan Mata to stay in the hurry of an early solving of the match advised by
contacts with live games at that beautiful scissor kick before the break.
It would be too easy to point out that he was on the verge of losing his cool and winning a red card when he twice tried to cheat Marwan Felainie by touching the second half.
It would be too easy to point out the total inadequacy of his overall performance in this big game. Again.
But that would mean neglecting the unpleasant uneasiness that met Trent Alexander-Arnold on the path of his development. The teenager was equally guilty of Lovern for the first goal because he had to be aware that the diversion from Lukaku to a long ball in the head after the outs is a strategy often used by the Red Devils. Also ask Eric Dyer, who allowed the autumn of the Belgian Taran to divert to Antoni Marcial for United`s win against Tottenham for 1:0 also on Old Trafford.
After losing Rashford in anticipation of the situation (perhaps because he could not believe how Lovren leans 15-20 meters in front of the ambush line almost to the central line of the terrain to chase a safe in that zone a long ball in the air)The 19-year-old Merseyside backside fled desperately to catch up and naively hurried to block the expected blow. So let his opponent cleverly take his ball back and finish brilliantly in the far corner of Loris Karius`s door.
Overpressed accusation? Maybe, but Alexander-Arnold eventually showed up just like what he is -;a teenager appointed male
