DBasia.news – Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp was quite satisfied after Liverpool crushed Watford 2-0. It’s just that there is one thing missing from Liverpool.
Diogo Jota opened Liverpool’s advantage in the first half in the match at Anfield on Saturday (2/4/2022.) However, despite appearing superior the Reds took until the last minute to add to his goals, and even then from a penalty that was converted by Fabinho.
Statistics show that Liverpool have a 73 percent advantage in possession of the ball by creating 20 attempts, although only three were on goal. Meanwhile, Watford have only created five chances with two attempts against the hosts.
Klopp said Liverpool should be more creative with high ball possession. However, he is also aware that it will be difficult for his team to immediately look good after the international break.
“Exactly like that,” Klopp replied when asked if the game was up to his expectations. “Everyone wants the analysis of the game, I’m not going to give it. I’m not interested because we have to win this game.”
“Compliments to Watford especially Roy [Hodgson], who despite being 80 years old is able to manage a team in a very good way. They guard the space very well and we can certainly do better, but now it’s not very exciting. We needed maturity. and desire.”
“The counter-press was the best I’ve seen in a long time, but with the ball we could have been a little more creative to break through the opposition’s defensive line more,” he continued to BT Sport.
“We’ve scored two goals, controlled the game on the other side and needed Alisson once, and that’s it,” Klopp added after Liverpool’s win over Watford.
