Chapter 314: Stagnation

Manchester City took the lead in scoring a goal at home. Dalglish did not give much play to the tactics that Dalglish developed for Liverpool in this game. The defensive end did not form a bronze wall. Not to mention, before Manchester City scored, Liverpool's counterattack had no effect.
Now, the score is behind, it's time for Dalglish to make a choice, whether to continue to defend and wait for the opportunity to attack at the end of the second half to find a chance, or Liverpool immediately counterattack now and use the attack to retaliate Manchester City.
For Dalglish, this season so far cannot be said to be a success. When he took over the team temporarily last season, Dalglish used his reputation to integrate a scattered Liverpool, but from now on Judging by the situation, Dalglish felt that he was really old.
Even if he can overcome the problems in the locker room, Dalglish found that he really couldn't adapt to the trend of the times in the overall tactical design.
But Dalglish's feelings for the Liverpool team are naturally very deep. He still wants to help the team better so that the team can go further under his own leadership.
Of course, if this season, the final result is not satisfactory, then Dalglish also has the courage to put down his coach and let a better coach come to Anfield.
For Dalglish, after recognizing his own shortcomings, Dalglish’s main purpose this season is no longer to bring Liverpool the first Premier League championship. The realistic goal now is to help the team strive As long as the quota of the Champions League can be reached in the Champions League next season, Liverpool will have more financial income, can better sign in next season, and also allow the team to be qualified to attract the best players.
In addition to the pursuit of performance on the field, on the other hand, Dalglish is ready to help more players in the team, inject the soul of the Red Army, and let more players quickly integrate into the team. In the overall tactics, it can also help the team to better complete the reconstruction of the lineup.
Although at the beginning of the game, Dalglish still somewhat utilitarianly chose the team to retract to defend, but with the absolute disadvantage of the team scene, and the situation where Manchester City scored a goal, Dalglish Glish decided to change directly.
Even if there is still a slight gap between Liverpool and Manchester City in the lineup, Dalglish also wants to see how much better Manchester City's luxurious lineup piled up with money than his own lineup!
Backward Liverpool began to return to the most normal game state, and began to put a large number of players in the offense in the game, hoping to rely on offense to find the rhythm of the game, use offense to equalize the score, and retreat on the road.
However, because of this game, in order to focus on strengthening the team's defense, Dalglish put Carroll, who is now obviously a blue-collar role in the game, on the bench.
This also makes the team lack an extremely important frontcourt fulcrum when it wants to attack.
Although Kuyt can indeed play the center position as a cameo, it's just that with age, Kuyt's physical confrontation ability is declining. There is really no way to compare it with the original.
In the past few games, Liverpool had a very simple and effective attacking pattern. In this game, with a self-breaking arm, some have fallen into a standstill.
Dalglish prepares for the first half, let the team play the attack in the middle, in the second half, in the upper Carroll, the main attack of the wing.
But Liverpool’s organizational ability in the midfield has a big problem. Although there are Charlie Adam, Henderson, and the teenager Spearing in the middle, they can all catch the ball, and they have good long-range shooting ability. The vitality of the midfield trio is not a problem, and there is nothing to say about the running.
But the three of them lacked the ability to pass the ball at the last minute, and could not provide the team with the necessary through-threat ball.
In the penalty zone, Suarez has no way to create an offensive threat alone in the confrontation with the opponent's central defender.
In the absence of a way to complete the attack in the middle, naturally, Liverpool's overall attack can only be biased towards the two wings unconsciously.
Especially Tangning, who was in his prime on the left, and Jose Enrique, the left back, who broke through on the left and crossed, are now Liverpool's easiest way to create a threat.
On the offensive end, Liverpool, which relied so heavily on the wing, now lacks an effective high point like Carroll, and obviously does not occupy the advantage in fighting for high points.
When the left wing formed a full pressure, even Suarez and Kuyt in the penalty area wanted to receive the pass, but they were firmly restrained by Manchester City's defense.
The defense line composed of Koroture and Kompany, one relied on the body to eat and stay Kuyt, the other was to prevent Suarez from running. Liverpool passed the ball in the penalty area and could not find itself. The players can only watch Manchester City complete the siege.
And if Liverpool’s frontcourt presses tight and can effectively complete the interception, it’s okay. If they can’t stop it in the first time, Manchester City’s counterattack against Liverpool’s two wings can start immediately.
The fiercer Liverpool's offense ~EbookFREE.me~ the sharper Manchester City's counterattack.
Especially in Yaya Toure, he also used his height advantage to join Manchester City’s defense in the penalty area. Liverpool’s crosses from the wing made it harder to surpass Manchester City’s high points in the penalty area, and Liverpool was also most afraid of the ball. Yaya Toure’s first landing point is directly controlled, because that means Yaya Toure can be used as the first starting point of the team’s offense, and it will start a long pass directly in the backcourt and directly lead Manchester City’s Counterattack direction.
"Tangning made another pass from the left, but when there is no longer a high point like Carol in the penalty area, is it really possible to make such a simple and rude cross?"
Facts have proved that even after repeated attempts, Liverpool’s single offensive method still cannot obtain enough offensive threats when facing Manchester City’s heavily built and long-running defense.
And Manchester City fought back effectively on the wing twice in a row, but it is a pity that although Milner is active, there are still natural problems in terms of speed and technical ability.
When Liverpool's defense line mainly contained the threat of counterattack on Silva's side, Milner was given two counterattack opportunities in a row, but he was always unable to raise enough speed by himself.
Milner chose to hit the goal with a kick, and directly hit the fly under the interference of Scotter.
On the other time, he chose to pass the ball to Aguero, but Yang Feng saw it through in advance and was intercepted.
Pellegrini off the court was a little disappointed by Milner's counter-extreme performance.
At this time, the role of Nasri, who was absent from the field due to injury, has emerged. If Milner's position is replaced by Nasri, then Manchester City may have scored the second goal long ago!
The score of 1 to 0 did not change afterwards, and the two sides entered the intermission...
