You probably noticed that Liverpool were much better in the second half against Man City this weekend but did you notice it had a lot to do with Joe Gomez Liverpool played their regular 433 shape but in possession they pushed Connor Bradley forward to try and work overloads around Nathan a the rest of
Liverpool’s Defenders formed a back three and look to move the ball through City’s press but because City’s press is quite aggressive Liverpool generally kept a couple of midfielders deeper to help retain possession and to protect against counters if they lost it however this caused a gap to open out between
The Midfield and attacking lines which meant if they were forced to go more direct in buildup City could win the ball back comfortably and so after City scored clot made an important tweak getting Joe Gomez to invert into Midfield in possession although this made Liverpool more open at the back it
Allowed them to push a midfielder further forward putting them in a better position to counter press higher up the pitch all of which enabled them to play more directly without completely losing control and so Liverpool’s second half dominance was achieved through Joe Gomez

Anybody know where to get that sweatshirt from pleeeeese??? Thanks!
Go Joemez
Klopp will be missed. Wish he stayed at Liverpool.
So, Klopp turning Gomez into Stones?
Gomez the new Milner
Where can I find that sweater??
I told Jurgen to do this. He was thinking of bringing Jay Spearing on, but I overruled him.
That's lot like how arsenal played last season
Klopp is a genius
Goe Jomez strikes again
My uncle
More men forward got it.
Gomez for England. Better than Maguire
Joe Gomez looks like Muslim Ben Simmons
Honestly Liverpool stomped City in the second half. Haven't seen them be that dominated in a while. Too bad for LFC Luis Diaz is so mediocre this season
Actually it was Klopp, he was the one who made that decision… really
Or maybe because they brought on Salah a massive threat on the counter as an outlet?
This guy is the football version of Dan Olson
Pickford, Ramsdale, Johnstone
Walker, Trent
Stones, Tomori, Maguire, White
Shaw, Trippier
Rice, Bellingham, Maddison, Jones, Gallagher
Foden, Saka, Grealish, Rashford, Palmer
Kane, Watkins
Gomez been immense all season, filling in across the back line and as a number 6 even. Incredibly versatile player
He played CDM a couple games back he is becoming a Swiss army knife like James Milner . I would love to see him start for England and also retire with Liverpool
the quiet background music is noise
Man Gomez was subbed off at 59th minute
So you mean to say that Klopp saw the community shield match of arsenal vs city
That shirt is so cool what is it !?!?!
