Although losing this Merseyside Derby with Everton, for Liverpool, some of the recent excellent game momentum has been lost.

But the loss of a game is just that, Liverpool only need to regain the state of the game, in the game, re-accumulate the momentum of winning streak.

For Liverpool, the subsequent games are also particularly important.

Liverpool played at home against visiting Tottenham. It is not only a duel between the six giants, but also a preview of the English League Cup final two weeks later.

Although this time Liverpool sits at Anfield Stadium and has a certain advantage, but the tactical rehearsal of the two sides should not change much.

Rogers’ Liverpool and Pochettino’s Tottenham are teams that almost rely on a set of tactics to beat the world in the new season. Although the team occasionally makes some specific tactical changes, there will be no obvious changes in the team's tactical direction.

In this game, both sides are the main players, and they are not afraid to expose the team's tactics. Instead, they have to try the opponent's current situation and make the most adequate preparations for the English League Cup final two weeks later.

Liverpool, sitting at home, sent a 433 lineup.

After the full-back injury crisis has passed, the 433 lineup is still more comfortable for Rogers.

With Sturridge still plagued by various minor injuries, Balotelli got the chance to start again in this game. Rogers needs Balotelli to be a threat to create an offensive threat to Coutinho, Sterling and others behind him.

And the three midfielders, Henderson, Lallana, and Emre Can are the midfield combination that Rogers has found recently with the best offensive and defensive balance.

All three have a certain offensive ability, and on the defensive end, actively running can also make the three of them in the midfield, can use running, to cause huge defensive pressure when the opponent passes through the midfield.

Although Moreno's figure is quite a disadvantage in the Premier League.

But his speed and flexibility can create a threat to the opponent's defense.

Although there are weaknesses in defensive set-pieces, Rogers can only tolerate Moreno's defensive deficiencies compared to Moreno's offensive effect.

The right back Flanagan is the kind of player who can do everything possible for Liverpool's victory in the game.

Flanagan's enthusiasm can never be underestimated.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool's enthusiasm gave them an excellent opportunity to attack.

In Tottenham, it is rare to control the ball and want to organize the attack forward.

For Liverpool, a wide-ranging press organized in the midfield directly intercepted the Tottenham player's pass.

Then Coutinho kicked forward and passed the ball directly to the back of Tottenham's remaining central defender.

When Sterling finished stealing the ball at Coutinho, he burst out at his full speed and accelerated forward directly. Although his stature is very small compared to Tottenham’s double center back, Sterling’s speed is really too great. Soon, in an instant, he rushed to the forefront.

The closest to Sterling is Tottenham defender Wiltonghen.

However, Vertonghen wanted to rely on his own pulling, or even physical confrontation, to stop Sterling, but Sterling ran over.

Sterling didn't give Vertonghen the opportunity to stop him at all.

Out of his eyes, he saw Vertonghen's pulling action, and Sterling turned to avoid him, then continued to accelerate, directly rushing away from Vertonghen's defense.

After Sterling stopped the ball and accelerated a step, he was already facing the attacking Lori directly.

Stirling didn't dare to drag the ball, and kicked and shot the goal first.

However, Lori's reaction speed was too fast. During the attack, his legs were stretched to the limit, relying on his right foot to successfully block Sterling's kick.

Although Sterling's shooting skills have improved a lot, when facing the ball handling between the flashing stones, Sterling's shooting control is still much worse.

Soon after, Coutinho's direct free kick was a little too close to breaking through the gate guarded by Lori.

It's just a pity that the ball fell too slowly at the end, wiping the crossbar and flying out of the bottom line.

Liverpool's offensive is wave after wave.

Afterwards, Flanagan cut in from the side and sent a very threatening cross into the penalty area.

Sterling relied on speed to get to the forefront, but was under pressure from many people's defense.

In the end, Sterling had to turn his back to the goal, barely kicking the ball back.

There was chaos in the penalty area.

At this time, Balotelli was the first to react.

Balotelli faced the ball "passed" by Sterling and shot directly with his left foot without adjusting.

The hit was sudden, but Lori still reacted swiftly, and a side flutter magically blocked Balotelli's kick.

However, the effort paid off. For Liverpool, the continuous offensive attempts finally achieved a fairly good offensive effect ~lightnovelpub.net~ In the 24th minute of the game, Liverpool played a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt.

Lallana made a very accurate pass while on the move.

With a through ball, he found Sterling, who quickly moved forward to the right.

Sterling gave full play to his speed advantage, made a strong breakthrough with the ball, and then turned inside the Tottenham penalty area.

Sterling's breakthrough successfully caused chaos in Tottenham's penalty area.

Although Sterling's "shooting skills are not perfect", but in such a dangerous area, Tottenham players have to make up for it.

When the defense came, Sterling picked a pass and passed the ball to the back spot.

Balotelli and Coutinho are near the small penalty area, attracting the attention of other Tottenham defensive players, and in this case, Henderson, who is fast forward, has received the least opponent's attention.

When Vertonghen realized that it was a pass to the back point, he turned his head and saw the undefended Henderson, following from the rear, and shooting an end shot!

Henderson is a man with a big heart.

Although not a true shooter, Henderson himself can always score goals in critical matches and at critical moments.

This time, Liverpool's important task of breaking the deadlock was given to Henderson.

Henderson in the back point area, after fast forward, jumped and shot directly, with excellent foot control.

The body shape is also quite stable, and then Henderson's end shot hit the goal and flew from the near post.

Lori has tried his best to pounce sideways, trying to complete the block, but Henderson's kick hit the goal, his own foot also completed the force, the speed of the ball is not slow, and the distance is very close, did not show Lori Opportunity to flutter. 1 to 0!

Henderson's goal gave Liverpool an advantage in the preview of the British League Cup final.
