2-1, with a 10-man rotation, Liverpool still managed to advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a light win over Norwich, and Japanese striker Takumi Minamino scored twice in the match, allowing him to score nine goals this season. After this campaign, Liverpool have won 11 consecutive games and 14 unbeaten games in all competitions, and have won the League Cup title in their arms, being the only team in the Premier League to rush to the championship in a four-line attack, and manager Klopp also admitted that this Liverpool team is the best team he has ever coached.
Once upon a time, the lack of bench depth was Liverpool's biggest weakness, and in the final stage of the 16/17 Premier League season, Liverpool's bench to fight for the fourth was only a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy boys, and the scene was estimated that Liverpool fans were impressed. As the defending champions of the Premier League last season, Liverpool also won the third place because of the large-scale injury of the main players. Of course, in the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons, Liverpool have successively won the Champions League, the Club World Cup and the coveted Premier League title, when they have a powerful starting lineup, and the ultra-low injury rate also makes the Reds bench lack of strength infinitely ignored.
But now, this flaw has become a strong point, this game, Liverpool only captain Henderson continues to start, but a group of bench bandits still firmly control the situation on the field, 65% of the possession and 17 shots on goal are the best proof, Takushi Minamino's meikai twice made the Golden Silk Bird Army the fourth team in Liverpool's history to kill 4 in a season. With the arrival of the likes of Conat Luis Díaz, Liverpool have transformed themselves into one of the most deeply on the bench in the Premier League. To use a popular phrase, Uncle Scum has never fought such a rich battle.
How strong Liverpool are now, take a look at the Premier League top scorer list and assist list, the top three in the top three of the top scorer list are Salah Thiagorota and Mane, and the top three in the assist list are Salah, Alexander Arnold and Robertson, they have a common feature, they are all Liverpool players. Liverpool have scored 70 goals in 26 games in the Premier League this season, six more than the leaders Manchester City, and are second only to Bayern, who scored 75 goals in the Europa League this season. And last season, when they failed to defend their title, they only scored 68 goals in 38 league rounds. Salah is in the sky, Mane and Jota also have wonderful performances, coupled with the new Colombian international Luis Díaz, the strong attack force ensures that Liverpool's fourth-line operations are all red.
Today, Liverpool and Manchester City are only 6 points apart in points, but Liverpool have one less match, and there will be direct dialogue between the two sides in April, if these two games are won, the initiative to win the title will change hands, and the second Premier League trophy is close at hand. In the current state of explosion, it is not surprising if Liverpool really completes the feat of four titles this season.
