Although Sturridge's leg muscles were uncomfortable before the game, the 3s combination could not appear at the same time.

After Henderson's last game against Manchester City, there were some minor injuries that could not play.

But for Rogers, this does not stop him from the idea of ​​strengthening the team's offense.

Suarez is a single forward, while the left and right wingers are Coutinho and Sterling.

In the midfield, Lucas, Jay, and Joe Allen started.

The backcourt continued the recent starting combination, Flanagan has grown rapidly and has now firmly established a starting position.

And with the increase in self-confidence, Flanagan has shown great potential in the positions of the left and right full-backs.

Norwich, who is in desperate need of points, did not put out a bus at his home court, but still wanted to play a certain offensive threat.

It's just that the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Norwich’s obviously British-style offensive line, it is not so easy to break through Liverpool’s defense. Yang Feng is not a vegetarian. Facing Norwich’s tall but rather clumsy forward, Yang Feng has his own set. The defensive experience.

Norwich's offensive did not work, but Liverpool, the offensive achieved results.

In view of the disadvantages of the home team's midfielder and taller body, Liverpool midfielder players use more position shifts and more off-the-ball runs to continuously show their technical ability and have a huge advantage in speed and flexibility.

And this is not the end. After 6 minutes, Norwich's offense has not been effective.

Yang Feng from the backcourt made a long pass and found the huge gap left behind after Norwich's right guard on the left inserted the assist.

Sterling accelerated to the left.

Although he reached the level of the penalty zone line, Norwich’s remaining central defender had already arrived at the defensive position. In addition, the two other home team players who quickly returned to the defense did not form an advantage in number.

However, Sterling was on the left side of the aura, while moving fast, he used the outer instep of his right foot to make an imaginative pass.

The tacit understanding developed in the usual private training, Suarez, after Sterling passed the ball, directly changed to the diagonal and stopped the ball in the penalty area in one go.

After getting rid of the defensive player, facing the goalkeeper halfway through the attack, he calmly pushed with his right foot.

The football passes through the goalkeeper's "little gate" and flies directly into the gate behind the goalkeeper.

The game after that was a bit boring.

Liverpool, who took the lead, began to show their absolute control over the ball. The home team Norwich wanted to hurry up and recover the impatience of losing the ball, which was used by Liverpool.

Liverpool, who had a very targeted counterattack, relied on Sterling's counterattack speed before the end of the half-time and went straight to Huanglong to expand the score to 3-0.
