Liverpool made it five wins out of five matches in the Premier League this season after managing to edge out Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium earlier today. The Reds dominated for long periods during the game and were able to force Spurs into making mistakes. Despite some poor finishing, the Merseyside giants were successful in bagging all three points from the contest through goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino.
With some crucial matches coming up across three different competitions, Jurgen Klopp needs to rectify some of his team’s recent problems so that his players can compete on all fronts during this campaign. Here are three lessons the Reds can learn from their comfortable 2-1 victory at Spurs.
Finishing Needs to Improve
The Reds managed to carve out a lot of chances against Spurs but had to go through a nervy end to the game due to their poor finishing. The likes of Sadio Mane, Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah needs to be more prolific in front of goal if the Merseyside club are to continue their good run in the coming weeks.
Rotating The Squad Would Be Significant
Liverpool have now got a strong enough squad to challenge across all competitions this season, following the big-money arrivals of Virgil Van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri over the last two transfer windows. Klopp now needs to rotate his squad wisely so that his players are fresh and are consistently playing at the peak of their game. However, too many changes could harm their chances of getting a positive result in a given match, so it is crucial to develop the right balance and act accordingly.
Milner And Robertson Have Been The Most Consistent Players In Klopp’s Team
Both James Milner and Andrew Robertson are enjoying a rich vein of form of late and have been the two most consistent players for Liverpool this season. The duo has become an integral part of Klopp’s side so it would be difficult to drop them from the Reds’ first XI in the coming weeks, as long as they can keep producing the goods on the pitch.
