Liverpool had fallen behind before 20 minutes into the game through two goals from Brighton's Leandro Trossard. However, Liverpool managed to come back with two goals from their striker Firmino and an own goal from Brighton's Adam Webster. Brighton who performed well at Anfield were able to equalize and have the right to bring home a point thanks to Trossard hattrick in the final 10 minutes of the match.
Jurgen Klopp must immediately move to improve Liverpool performance, this season there are many things Klopp needs to do because his team performs far from what is expected. The defense is very fragile, the midfield is not able to control the game and the front line is not as sharp as last season, Liverpool goal productivity has dropped dramatically this season. The draw that Liverpool just got made them stuck in ninth position in the standings with 10 points. While Brighton one point at Anfield leaves them in fourth place with 14 points.
Honestly Klopp has a lot of job to do in getting Liverpool out of this mess if they really aim to clinch a top 4 spot, else they will won't qualify for UCL, their records of 2 wins in 7 matches is absolutely unacceptable which is in sharp contrast with last season emphatic performance at this time last season they are unbeaten in the league, they will play in-form Arsenal next week another big huddle and challenge ahead of them, I think they missed the service of workaholic Mane in their attack since his departure Mo.Salah had struggled to score goals his combination with Nunez and Diaz had been fruitless.
I think Liverpool is not really doing well at the moment. They played at home but they failed to get full points, even their performance looks bad during the first half. Although they looked to have improved in the second half, but in the end, they failed to seal their win. Their current condition is very much different from last season, so I think they're having a slump and it will become a serious problem if they don't get a solution soon. There is one thing that makes me curious. Liverpool signed Darwin Nunez for a very high transfer fee, but somehow Jurgen Klopp prefers Firmino instead of Nunez.
Liverpool is trash now. Everyone already saw it from miles ahead at the start of this Premier League season. Klopp's plan for both Liverpool's offensive and defensive lineup is falling. Oh, don't worry about Nunez or have too much hope on him. Maybe with him, Liverpool might get a few goals back with Klopp's plan for Nunez at center-forward, a double pivot and Elliot roaming on the right.
But with full-back overlapping with Robertson and Trent, especially Trent with his poor attitude and irresponsible play leave a full hole for the enemy to exploit. Unless Klopp uses a different strategy on this lineup or replaces Trent, tough luck, Liverpool going to get more slap on the face like the match with Fulham.
