Strength and Weakness of the Liverpool
Liverpool is known for playing on the floor and for making it very hard for teams to get on the ball this is because of their quality on the ball. The team plays its best with power strength and the work play. The Liverpool team is also strong in the air and they are able to nullify other teams play when it comes to this. One way that Liverpool gets to win their matches is through the team passing the ball on the ground and this is made possible by their style of play where there is only one holding midfielder not forgetting that they dont play to the opponents strength enabling them to take an upper hand in a match against many teams.
Weakness
There is need for the Manager Rafael Benitez to be more pro active and always field a team that is most likely to deliver a win against any one team baring in mind that a win is the most important element of a match. The midfield of the Liverpool team is weak when Lucas and Mascherano in centre midfield, this position should instead be taken by Steven Gerald alongside someone who can make a good play maker. The person should also be able to be string defensively since that does not seem to work well resulting to poor ball to feet possession for the team. One way for Liverpool regaining their winning ways is by the Manager Rafael Benitez making the right decisions since that is what he is paid for.
Improving Liverpool
Liverpool was lucky to win the match earlier in the day from the goal scored by the hardworking Dutchman Dirk Kyut. There is need to improve on the level of discipline rating from the send off, there is need to have clear tackles to reduce the chances of them being reduced to ten men. As from the shots, there is great need for the ball control to improve to be able to achieve better and clear shots from the Liverpool side. Shots off the target were as a result of poor ball control, had they been able to control the ball from the backside to the front lines there would have been more shots on target and possibly more goals for the Reds.
On the other hand, the need to instill security on the position of Rafael Benitez is paramount. This will result to him firing the best attack in terms of the start up line up as well as the moral support for the side. The more insecure he is on his job, the poorer the results the team is going to get, and this means that the Reds may end up slipping from the big four category and status that they have continued to thrive on.
