Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal (Torreira 84),GOAL! The intense pressure creates poor execution from Elliot, and Arsenal intercept the ball and create an easy 3.In the second half, Liverpool’s primary changes all centred around increasing their compactness and positioning players more centrally to provide more stability and connections in both offensive and defensive transition moments.One of these changes was to bring right-winger Elliot into a deeper role, where Liverpool was in more of a 1-4-4-2 formation in their defensive phase.Elliot is acting as a right midfielder here, and does so in certain moments in the second half. However, because Liverpool often struggled to play through Arsenal’s midfield block, Liverpool was often caught in transition, which meant that Arsenal actually had the better chances in the game, with an xG of 3.85 to Liverpool’s 1.7.

Chamberlain is the free player who can receive the ball and attack Arsenal’s next line of defending, but play was very predictable. Gabriel Martinelli acted as the 9 with Mesut Ozil directly behind him, Bukayo Saka and Ainsley Maitland-Niles as wingers, Lucas Torreira and Joe Willock as defensive midfielders, Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac at full-back, and Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding at centre-back.

If Brewster stays connected with Lallana and comes inside, this pass could be easily prevented. The ball is then played forward, and a more compact shape is what creates stronger connections to progress in the transition to attack.

Arsenal’s centre-backs cannot provide help because Brewster is pinning them inside. At the same time, Chamberlain makes a very poor decision by trying to play across three zones when Arsenal is anticipating it, and a much better decision would be to recycle possession to the centre backs.Moments later, Arsenal has a 4v4 against Liverpool, and even though Liverpool’s players get back behind the ball, they are all looking at the player with the ball, ignoring Arsenal’s wide open player at the penalty spot. 2.37pm EDT 14:37 Match report: Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal; 2.25pm EDT 14:25 Full-time: Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal; 2.13pm EDT 14:13 GOAL!

The way the game was played, Liverpool had more possession than Arsenal by a large margin (64.5% to 35.5%). This opens up space in behind Kolasinac for Chamberlain to run into from depth. However, getting adequate rest is a focus for them, especially in a game like this one against Arsenal where winning the Carabao Cup is probably not their highest priority.Arsenal played in a 4-4-1-1 that often resembled a 4-4-2 in defence in certain moments. You won’t see a better penalty kick than that.David Luiz is penalised and booked for pulling on the shirt of Mo Salah in the,Available for everyone, funded by readers.© 2020 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. It’s a very composed finish.Mo Salah doubles Liverpool’s lead, sending Bernd Leno the wrong way as he rifles the ball into the top left-hand corner. He picks up the ball on the right flank, beating Luiz and Monreal in the process. This also seemed to have encouraged the compactness of Liverpool in both their defensive phase and in transitions, and it prevented Arsenal from playing through Liverpool’s midfield line in the defensive phase. Arsenal will not be happy with the result considering how they played, and the pressure may continue to mount on Emery and his Arsenal side. The 2019–20 season was Liverpool's 128th season in existence, and their 58th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. Arsenal takes advantage of the positional mistake and scores.To conclude this tactical analysis, although Liverpool did end up winning in penalty kicks, it could be argued that theirs was the better side in terms of their game plan and execution, and very good evidence for this is the fact that Arsenal finished with 3.85 xG while Liverpool finished with 1.7 xG. When the central areas (the centre and half spaces) are not used in the build-up, it becomes much easier for the defending team, especially if the defending team is implementing wide pressing traps like Arsenal is. This was effective against Arsenal’s focus on man-orientation in their defensive scheme.Over time, Liverpool began to struggle to maintain possession of the ball and would often give the ball away to Arsenal’s midfielders and forwards, which became very dangerous because of the space that Arsenal had to transition into. Jones is able to receive facing Arsenal’s back four, and assists Origi’s goal.However, Liverpool also made a crucial mistake with their more compact 4-4-2 shape, which caused Arsenal’s 5.Here, there is no pressure on the ball, which gives time for Matteo Guendouzi to penetrate centrally to Willock, who can turn and dribble at Liverpool’s backline.

Liverpool remain at the top of the table in the Premier League, having not lost a match yet, and they look to be on their way to getting through the Champions League group stages. Based on this analysis, the focus on taking command of the centre of the pitch in the second half was helpful in their ability to get themselves back into the game. They used two forwards to take away Lallana so that Liverpool were forced to find another way to progress the ball.In this picture, Arsenal’s two forwards are taking away Lallana through pendulum pressing, meaning that when the ball was played to one centre-back, the close forward would pressure while the other forward would cover Lallana, and when the ball was switched to the other centre-back they would also switch. Arsenal had their own young talent such as Martinelli and Saka as well.The way the game was played, Liverpool had more possession than Arsenal by a large margin (64.5% to 35.5%). Here, Jones and Lallana are both covering the central corridors and can, therefore, cover double the space, putting Arsenal outlet options in their cover shadow, which nullifies Arsenal’s transition moment.A moment later, this is what leads to Liverpool’s 4.The double-pivot creates a more compact shape in the transition to defence, which is how Liverpool wins the ball back by intercepting a pass. Cutting inside, he bears down on goal and with options to his left he slots the ball into the bottom left-hand corner. In the period leading up to this picture, also note that Liverpool had just circulated the ball from the left side, which meant that Arsenal’s forwards struggled to shift, and Arsenal lacked horizontal compactness in this picture, which makes Lallana an option here as well. The primary and most effective way, which led to the first goal, was a counter-movement rotation in the wide area.In this picture, Williams has the ball as the right full-back. In terms of positioning, Chamberlain could actually come back between Arsenal’s forwards and centre-midfielders so that when Keita receives and plays a bounce pass to him, Chamberlain can receive and go forward. — London's Red Bitches (@LondonsRedFb) August 22, 2019 Football News 24/7 Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal (Torreira 84) 1.48pm EDT 13:48 GOAL!

Arsenal’s effectiveness in transitions is what created most of their goals and goal-scoring opportunities. This change would also help Liverpool with winning the second ball, as a more compact formation such as a 4-4-2 encourages good second ball positioning.Klopp’s primary tactical change in the second half came after a poor mistake from Milner caused Arsenal’s 4.In this picture, Liverpool has just lost the ball: in previous moments of losing the ball, Liverpool would have had only one player (Lallana) dealing with the central corridors.

On 25 June, Liverpool clinched their nineteenth league title—the first since,Over the season, Liverpool set a number of other.In June 2019, Liverpool announced their pre-season schedule.Liverpool entered the competition in the third round. Clearly Arsenal had higher quality and quantity of goal-scoring opportunities. Considering they played essentially none of their starting 11 and with a lot of young talent, Liverpool responded well to the adversity of being down multiple goals in multiple moments of the game, and they got the benefit of rest for their primary players for both League play and the Champions League.My name is Tim Wood. One forward is pressuring, the other forward is prepared to press the other centre-back to force them to the same side, and the closer centre midfielder is covering space and the passing lane to the forward. Arsenal were highly effective when transitioning to attack, choosing to attack vertically rather than settling for empty possession and trying to play through Liverpool’s very difficult 4-3-3 block. Liverpool tried these counter-movement rotations multiple times, especially in the first half, on both sides of the field, with both Chamberlain and Keita making runs in behind when Liverpool’s forwards would check to the ball in the wide areas.Another option that Liverpool used was to bring Lallana wide into the half-space to receive and build up; Keita and Milner also did this in certain moments.When Lallana comes wide, he is free to receive, which provides three angles of penetration between Lallana, Van Den Berg, and Gomez.
