With what I saw in the game between Liverpool vs Newcastle it got me worried about how the Reds performance would be like after returning from the break because Liverpool was terrible and desperate in that encounter and I'm blaming it on the game they played against PSG in the champions league because they're all tired even some players were injured, these guys are losing form but some of us are not seeing them when they play bad because they use their goals and winning a game to cover up.
Against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup Liverpool didn't play like the Liverpool we always see every week and the wasteful Newcastle that can't stay consistent were playing better football and everything was working for them and I start having this feeling that Liverpool will start losing game or let's say dropping point starting from their next game after the break, what if Arsenal get to win this game? Im just saying because it might happen.
With a fairly large points difference, it is very unlikely for Arsenal to be able to overtake Liverpool, I am sure Liverpool will win the EPL trophy this season. They just need to improve their performance and the international break will be the right time for Arne Slot to reset their strategy. Because, Liverpool players look physically and motivationally exhausted. So the international break should provide recovery for the players.
In this final match, Liverpool lost in everything because Newcastle played neater, more focused, and better. Liverpool played badly, the players' mentality collapsed, everything was bad. Chiesa's late goal was unable to save Liverpool, they cannot blame one or two players because all of them played below standard. It can be said that this was a very bad performance for Liverpool. Now Liverpool only has one more competition that they still have the chance to win, but Liverpool needs to improve themselves to return to a good trend.
