Liverpool had fewer shorts on target than Brentford and they deserved this defeat. 73% ball possession and 16 shots don't mean anything when they could not shot on target.
Darwin Nunez missed a great opportunity to score a gold for Liverpool and he reminded us about Fernando Torres bad performance in Chelsea. The target of Liverpool in this season is not standing above Brentford. They must end it within top four if they don't want to fall more in Premier League next season.
Being in top four means a lot for any big club, from finance, chance to play in Champions League, has attraction to star players and can have successful deals in transfer market.
bad new year gift for liverpool because they had to give up at the Gtech Community Stadium with a score of 3-1. I saw this match only in the first half and it was quite impossible for liverpool to be 2-0 down in the first half even though in the early minutes they had a good chance that almost became a goal. Indeed, Liverpool statistics were able to control the match but unfortunately they found it difficult to score goals. Brentford slowly they are able to put a lot of pressure on big teams when they face them. One side of Brentford seems to have found a better form of performance earlier this year, they can disturb the peace of Liverpool and the teams above them.
Many people predicted for the favour of Liverpool based on their last match performance that made them to achieved three points from their opponent, but they failed to apply the same strategy in this match. Brentford displayed well from the beginning of the match till the end of the match, that made them to defeated Liverpool 3-1 to embraced the three points from the match. I think, Liverpool coach has a lot of work to do to ensure they defeat Brighton and Chelsea in their remaining matches to make their fans have hope of achieving victory from all their matches to stand in a good position to battle for final in this season.
that's clear, because bettor look at the H2 statistics between the two and Liverpool were able to win with a score of 3-0 in the previous match but last night match Liverpool really wasn't in good form and they even have to admit that there are many gaps that opponents can take advantage of when opponents build counter-attack. even though liverpool is really after 3 points in the match against brentford to be able to catch up on points from the team above it, but liverpool efforts and game scheme are unable to bring home 3 points from brentford headquarters, nunez has not been able to make a big contribution to liverpool front line, the presence of Gakpo might be the right solution for this problem.
