Below is a summary of the full article. Click here for the full version from Media Referee or go back to LFC Live.

Liverpool were now playing in a 4-2-3-1 (Image F) where Jota was the striker, Firmino was the No.10, and James Milner dropped to left-back. But by then, Liverpool had already scored 2 goals and were well on their way to win the match.

It is also laughable that Arsenal were passing out from the back when 2-0 down when they knew Liverpool were pressing a lot. Arsenal’s poor PPDA is also to blame for the fact that they let Liverpool pass, build up from the back, and dominate the game in possession.

They mustered just 3 shots in total in comparison to Liverpool’s 16 and only kept the ball for about 1/3rd of the game. RIGHT- Liverpool, LEFT- Arsenal.
