Why did Liverpool suddenly suffer three consecutive losses? Celebrity Chan Jun said 3 reasons

In the first five rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool was unstoppable, winning consecutive games, and their performance on both offense and defense was top-notch, but no one expected that the turning point would come so suddenly - starting from the 6th round of the away game to Crystal Palace, Liverpool seemed to "can't play football anymore" overnight, and the offensive end was unable to start the situation for a long time, and loopholes appeared on the defensive end. All competitions were unknowingly defeated three consecutive games.

So, why did Liverpool suddenly fall into a downturn when they played well? The famous Premier League football commentator Zhan Jun gave his own explanation, which was a sharp hit and accurately hit Liverpool's current "pain point".

First of all, Zhan Jun believes that the sudden downturn in the frontcourt ace core Salah directly weakened Liverpool's frontcourt combat effectiveness. As the "thigh" of Liverpool's offensive end, Salah has maintained extremely high attack efficiency in the past few seasons. His speed, breakthrough and finishing ability in front of the goal are important guarantees for Liverpool to tear open the opponent's defense line. But in recent games, Salah's condition has declined significantly, his once sharp breakthrough has become hesitant, and the excellent opportunities in front of the goal have been wasted frequently. Even in the offensive organization, his cooperation with his teammates has made many mistakes. Salah's sudden downturn caused Liverpool to lose his backbone in the frontcourt, and his frontcourt lethality was naturally reduced.

Secondly, Zhan Jun believes that coach Slott's substitution dispatch is too conservative and lacks targeted, which is also one of the important reasons why Liverpool is in trouble. At the beginning of this season, Slott's tactical arrangements allowed Liverpool to show strong competitiveness. The high-pressure and fast counterattack tactics he advocated perfectly fit the characteristics of Liverpool players. However, in recent games, Slott's on-the-spot command has been repeatedly questioned.

On the one hand, his substitution adjustments are always "half a beat slower". When the team is in a backward situation, he often does not make substitution adjustments. When he finally replaces an offensive player, there is little time left for the game, and the players do not have enough time to adapt to the rhythm and organize effective offenses. On the other hand, the targeted substitutions are insufficient. Whether facing the opponent's wing impact or the intensive defense in the middle, Slott seems to have not found an effective response strategy. The players who replace them often cannot make up for the team's shortcomings, but instead make the team's tactical system more chaotic.

Finally, Zhan Jun believed that the sky-high new aid Wilz, who was highly anticipated by the outside world, performed poorly, which dragged the team down. We know that the Premier League has played 7 rounds, but Wiltz has not been integrated into the team for a long time. After 10 games in various competitions, although he has been reused every game, he has not won any results yet.

Not only that, in the game, Wiltz also frequently loses the ball and makes mistakes. Whether facing the opponent's pressing or in the midfield's passing organization, his ball control ability is very average. This not only disrupts Liverpool's offensive rhythm, but also makes the team lose control in the midfield, bringing huge pressure to the defensive end. In addition, Wiltz's cooperation with his teammates also seems very unfamiliar. His running position and passing timing are difficult to match his teammates' rhythm, which makes Liverpool's midfield offense even more stagnant. He, who was originally highly expected by the outside world, has now become a burden to the team.

Do you think Zhan Jun’s analysis is very reasonable? The author believes that Zhan Jun is worthy of being a famous Premier League player, and these three points hit Liverpool's key points. If Liverpool can solve the above three problems in the next future, they should be able to revive them quickly; but if they are not solved well, it will be worrying to compete for the championship.
