In the new season, the Premier League has 1 win and 2 losses with 3 points, the Community Shield, and the UEFA Super Cup can win the championship at the beginning of the two seasons. All of them have fallen into the sand. In less than a month, Liverpool has completely recovered from the top. The triple crown of the season fell to the altar.

For Rogers, the two-week national team game day is the last opportunity for him to make adjustments for a long time.

He talked to some players who did not have a national team game task, and made a new tactical plan with his coaching team in detail, seeking to maximize the team's combat effectiveness.

Even for the lineup he agreed with, he and the management team broke up directly and decided to limit the playing time of the two new players, Benteke and Firmino, to directly change the formation and strive for victory.

For Rogers, who is still young enough in the coaching session, sometimes he dares to change, dare to make some bold and unscrupulous attempts.

This is like a gamble. If the gamble is completed, Liverpool may just get out of the predicament and set sail again; if the gamble is lost, then Liverpool and Rogers may lose completely, and lose nothing.

Last season, when Liverpool had an equally bad start, Rogers boldly placed the team's symbol Gerrard on the bench. Such a bold attempt proved that he won the bet.

Gerrard not only played a bigger role on the bench, but also allowed Liverpool to complete the transformation with his own vitality, and the entire Liverpool instantly became the top European team.

And this time, Rogers still wants to continue to bet. For this reason, he broke up directly with the Liverpool management. He directly believed that the two new aids were not used to the team's tactics, and their effect on the team was really limited. He wanted to use the original Team members to prove that their tactics can still win.

It's just that the reality made a big joke for Rogers.

After the national team match day, the Liverpool team's morale was poor, and the impact of the FIFa virus made Liverpool return to the league and continued its very bad performance recently.

Even though Rogers was under pressure from the management, in the game, he sent the original team last season and began to make the team feel like the team that won the championship in the past.

All veterans.

Sturridge was injured, so he used Balotelli to play as a center.

Sterling moved away and replaced him with Lallana.

Coutinho is still the left winger last season.

The three midfielders also sent Henderson, Emre Can and Lucas a combination of defensive power.

The defense is still the main defense of last season.

Everything is the familiar taste of last season, but Rogers did not realize that the whole team had lost the spirit of last season, the desire for victory and honor, and can never be found.

This team lineup that also appeared on the court last season did not give Liverpool or Rogers the familiar feeling of victory that he wanted last season.

In the fourth round of the league, Liverpool sits at Anfield Stadium. Rogers, after "turning out the chaos", hopes to reap a hearty game victory at home.

On the home scene, the visiting mid-range team, the "Hammers" West Ham United, regained the title of last season's multi-line event winning "ceremonial" lineup for Liverpool. At home, they wanted to play the team spirit of last season and win the final victory .

It has to be said that with the improvement of the degree of tacit understanding, in the game, Liverpool, at least in the frontcourt, did a lot better than the previous games.

Fluency has indeed improved after changing players, but compared with last season, those who are familiar with Liverpool know that it is not the taste of last season.

The reason may be that the players in certain positions are not as good as the main players of last season.

You let Lallana be an offensive midfielder, complete a series organization, or a personal offense. He may do a very good job, but if you want him to completely replace Sterling, it is still not satisfactory.

You know, last season, Sterling was not just a pure right winger. It was based on Rogers trained by Tottenham’s Bell at the time, but it gave Sterling enough frontcourt freedom.

And Sterling also used himself to fly around the field, creating a lot of scoring opportunities everywhere to give Rogers in return.

Obviously, Lallana is not Sterling, he does not have the mobility and explosive power of Sterling.

And Coutinho has also been given the center of offense as a free agent in the frontcourt this season, but in this "free" position, Coutinho's performance so far at least is no different from his past performance.

As a result, Liverpool’s offensive power throughout the frontcourt is greatly reduced. In passing and controlling, it is necessary to rely on the absolute personal strength of the players. When the breakthrough is opened, under the focus of the opponent, no one can complete the task.

Liverpool still had a certain advantage in the opening stage, but the visiting team West Ham United saw the nature of Liverpool's foreign powers and midfielders, and it was an open play.

West Ham United gradually changed from an iron barrel to a close match with Liverpool on both offense and defense.

When Liverpool strikers were unable to create further threatening opportunities, West Ham United players fully grasped the opportunity.

As the absolute core of West Ham United’s offensive, the Frenchman Payer paid great attention to avoiding Yang Feng’s defense when guiding West Ham’s counterattack.

All the planned offensives focused on hitting Scotter's side.

In order to avoid Yang Feng's defense ability, Paye took the initiative to find Yang Feng's defense with the ball.

However, it is very accurate in grasping the "degree" of dribbling and passing.

Paye used himself as a bait to actively look for Yang Feng's defense.

In the opponent's lineup, Paye, who has the greatest offensive threat and the strongest ability to create opportunities, personally drove the ball to attack him, and Yang Feng had to guard.

Then Payer always passed the ball at the last moment when Yang Feng could complete the grab, creating an offensive opportunity for other teammates.

It is this, extreme offensive method ~lightnovelpub.net~ that allows Yang Feng's defensive ability to be completely restrained by Paye, while the teammates on the other side cannot limit the offense of Lancini and others.

In fact, this style of actively enticing Yang Feng to defend forward has not been tried by teams in the past, but at the beginning, Liverpool’s midfield defense was able to rely on active running and precede Yang Feng to complete the task of chasing and defending Yang Feng. Will not be easily controlled by the opponent.

But now, looking at the absent-minded appearance of his teammates, Yang Feng suddenly felt that this team, even if they were all familiar players, was so unfamiliar.

Even though I sometimes complete the "command", I still feel that the execution ability of his teammates is much worse than in the past.

"This is not the Liverpool I am familiar with..."

The final score on the field was fixed at 0 to 3, with the home team ahead and the away team behind.

Returning from the national team match day, Liverpool continued to stride into the "deep" with a humiliating defeat.

Liverpool, which played a good game in the opening stage, completely lost its former suppressive power in the subsequent games.

In the 20th minute, Lancini received a precise pass from Payer, first succeeded in the offside, got rid of Skrtel, finished the goal single-handedly, and broke the deadlock.

And Coutinho, who received a yellow card in the first half, made a retaliatory action after being intercepted by his opponent at the beginning of the second half. He turned two yellows and one red and was sent off early, which made Liverpool even worse.

In the second half, Rancini scored twice, and Paye also used a long-range shot from a counterattack to score a goal to seal the victory for West Ham.

Liverpool's home defeat to opponents in the middle of the league also completely declared the "ceremonial lineup" Rogers was looking forward to, and could not reverse the team's poor game state.
