Liverpool painfully beat Wolverhampton (2-1) this Sunday in the Premier League. The Reds do not reassure before starting a difficult series.
There are always several ways to read a result. We can remember the fact that Liverpool, beating Wolverhampton (2-1) this Sunday, resumed seven points ahead of the Premier League, which is a particularly comfortable mattress. We can also emphasize that the Reds, for some time, have sent some worrying signals.
After the success against Tottenham (4-0) in League Cup, 10 days ago, Liverpool was still in the running on four tables. Since then, the men of Arne Slot have fallen from very high to Plymouth in FA Cup, and they took another blow on the head on Wednesday evening, at the neighbor Everton, with this equalizing goal of Tarkowski in the 98th minute, in a furious madness.
Liverpool, zero shot in the second period against the 17th
Faced with Wolverhampton, Liverpool ensured the essentials, with this success built in the first period on a goal from Luis Diaz (1-0, 15th) and a penalty of the inevitable Mohamed Salah (2-0, 37th). But how to obscure this second act without flavor, where the Reds certainly had two balls of 3-0, with a goal refused to Salah for offside and a penalty logically canceled by the Var for a simulation of Diogo Jota. This figure challenges: no shot for Liverpool in the second half.
It was Wolverhampton who made the game (10 shots to zero), and which logically reduced the gap on a nice strike from Matheus Cunha (2-1, 67th). There would not have been much to complain about in the event of a new equalization at 2-2 in the space of three days. It is the paradox of the week for Liverpool, a large leader who clearly struggled to be superior to the 13th (Everton) and the 17th (Wolverhampton). Before chaining three shocks against Aston Villa, Manchester City and Newcastle in ten days, it is not reassuring.
