So here we go again, another resounding victory for Liverpool, another game were everyone sits back and says ''hold on, these guys are the real deal'' but in truth, Liverpool were only lucky on the day, no doubt that's an essential ingredient in football sometimes, but it would amaze one how often they ride their luck.
After going two goals ahead, one would have expected Liverpool to manage the game better, with the Foxes incapable of creating chances but out of nothing, a lifeline was handed to Leicester and Jamie Vardy smashed the ball into the net; 2-1, it could have been 2-2 just moments later when Luis Hernandez header struck the cross bar and had that ball gone in, the game may have taken a rather different outlook.
There's no doubt the better team won on the day, Liverpool's passing and movement sometimes were simply just too much for the foxes defence, Adam extended Liverpool's lead with a well taken shot into the up right corner, then Mane latched on to a pass, rounded Schmeicel and located Firmino who had an open net to score and he tucked it in. This game was an amazing display of Liverpool's attacking potential but this team simply isn't balanced. Had there been a leader on the pitch, Lucas wouldn't have made the nearly costly error he made and would have hoofed the ball away.
There's also the lack of defensive options for the Reds, with Sakho frozen out of the squad, Lucas played in the central back position, a position that may never suit his expertise.
It would be unfair of me to ake anything from the Reds, in a game were they displayed such killer intent and their gung ho, throw caution to the wind, expansive and electric kind of football is very excitin to watch, game management is something the Reds lack, simply put; whenever a team wants to score Liverpool, they simply do, evident in the fact that they haven't kept any clean sheet this season.
There's no perfect team, however, teams try to balance up their playing style by putting equal measure in attacking, as much as defending but it doesn't seem so at Anfield. This indeed was a glorious homecoming for Klopp, destroying the current Champions at your home stadium but if these frailties aren't sorted out, the next home fixture might not be as entertaining and could someone please attach a rope to this man's glasses, He broke only 5 glasses during is three years in Germany but is close to breaking that record already in England after 12 months.
