Four straight wins ended by the ‘worst’ team in the league S7 E33

Welcome to the latest episode, Liverpool’s winning run comes to an end at Wolves. Conceding another 90+ minute goal - feels yuk. The 5-2 over West Ham offered quite a different feeling. I’m Paul, joined by Daz and Justin.Part One - First half - slow and predictable said the captain. Slot was very upset, we are told.Play Frimpong and give him the ball before the final third too many timesFirst half - felt very safe - Wolves xG 0.0 - overall 0.44 for Wolves and 1.83 for us and 4 big chances.Second half better but still didn’t create a lot. At least we got wide more. Great clearance from Cody…Salah as a wide player….Bad first goal to concedeThe pushing for a winner strategy has really hurt us this season:Chiesa chaosNo KonatePart Two - West Ham at home (xG 1.84 to 1.86)They are a difficult team - but our set pieces were outrageousNational narrative - ‘Liverpool didn’t play very well’ and now we make a note of the xGFirst half key moments:5 minutes - great composure from Ryan and Hugo. 25 minutes - VVD finds another header. What was VAR doing?43 - love a goal where the ball doesn’t hit the groundGood moves in between - Cody finding RG and Hugo’s big chanceSecond half - much closer:Soucek goal probably changes the sub plansAlisson makes a save at 4-2 that was importantFrimpong and Gakpo goals and Nyoni, Rio cameos were positivePart Three - Other business:Arsenal - breaking down what their anti-football entailsTime wastingCollapsing with contact while mugging opposition forwards in the boxThe Tottenham Hotspur train wreck comes to townGalatasaray starts next weekOur midfield - overplayed:And what has happened to Alexis Mac Allister?\Why not Curtis Jones?We will be back after the Galatasaray away game.
