Premier League Opening Game Horror Night: Liverpool s narrow victory 4-2 exposed three fatal shortcomings

Amid the surging red waves of Anfield Stadium, the singing of Liverpool fans is double emotions.

When the final whistle freezes the score of 4-2, the new coach Slot wipes away the cold sweat from his forehead - behind this good start, there are the dazzling red lights on three fronts at the same time.

Dutch coach Slott's debut was a big bet. Flynnon and Kolkz - two new players worth nearly 90 million euros - were pushed directly to the left and right full-back line.

The actual combat has torn apart the ideal blueprint: Korkz repeatedly recklessly robbed and dyed yellow early, and Flynn's flank blasting was completely silent. What's even more fatal is that when Bournemouth launched a textbook counterattack in the 75th minute, the entire right was like an unguarded corridor, and the gate drove straight into the equalizer, revealing the flaws of the new defense line lacking overall coordination.

Hrafenberg's suspension before the game was like knocking down a domino. Although McAllister, who was forced to retreat, gave a key assist, his height of 1.74 meters completely lost the airspace in front of Van Dijk.

What is even more worrying is the configuration of Sobosloy and Wilz's double midfielder: the two cores who need the ball are constrained by each other in a small space, causing 63% of the team's offense to stagnate in the opponent's 30-meter area.

Wilz frequently lost the ball in the Premier League strangle, the camera captured his eyes looking at the coach's seat in a daze, and the compatibility issue of sky-high signings cannot be avoided.

Ekitic made his perfect debut with one pass and one shot. This forward wizard, who was once abandoned by Paris, proved that he was the offensive hub that Slott's pass control system was missing with his all-round performance of retreat and pulling and pulling.

But in the 88th minute, Chiesa's substitute was hidden deeper hidden dangers - if this marginal figure hadn't suddenly appeared, Slot's decision to keep the two front midfielders would have almost ruined the victory.

When the broadcast camera swept over the new player Giovanni who warmed up on the sidelines, the fans couldn't help but question: Why didn't you use the new force to attack your opponent early?

The game slice from the 65th to 80th minute is a tactical nightmare for Slott. When Endo was misplaced and arranged at the left back, Bournemouth immediately targeted the side to chase two goals.

What is even more puzzling is that during the opponent's start, the Dutch coach held three substitutions but did not move. He did not adjust hastily until the score was equalized. If Salah hadn't secured the victory in stoppage time, Anfield might have opened the door.

Anfield in the new season still echoes "You Never Walk Alone", but the new battleship built with 400 million euros has sounded a harsh alarm.

When Manchester City used community shield to show their championship background, Arsenal swept the newly promoted team in the opening match by five goals, behind Liverpool's staggering victory is the soul question that Slot must face: How to find a balance between tactical revolution and record pressure? Time may be more luxurious than the 3 points on the standings.
