A precious victory achieved by Liverpool last Tuesday night, at the expense of Ajax Amsterdam, with two goals against a goal, in the framework of the second round of the group stage of the Champions League competition.
Liverpool, in addition to its shaky start domestically in the Premier League and obtaining nine points from six matches, suffered a severe loss in Italy against Napoli (4-1).
In the current period, Liverpool did not go into the seventh round against Wolverhampton, in addition to the postponement of the next Chelsea match in the eighth round, against the background of the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth.
This period will be an opportunity for coach Jurgen Klopp and his brochure to re-calculate anew, especially in the style of play and the team’s defensive as well as the offensive form.
Liverpool has played 8 games so far since the start of the new season (2022-2023), the red team has only been unable to come out with clean sheets twice against Bournemouth and the Merseyside derby against Everton.
Otherwise, Liverpool have conceded 11 goals so far, compared to 18 goals, half of which came in the Bournemouth match, in a meeting that the Reds swept (9-0).
Klopp’s second chance is also to postpone the Chelsea match, which means that he will have a negative rest for about three weeks due to the absence of any matches due to the international break in the coming period, as the first match will be for Liverpool against Brighton on the first of next October.
And the coming period will witness the beginning of the recovery of more than one player due to the “Reds” being subjected to more than one shock in the recent period in terms of injuries, specifically in the back line and midfield, which made Klopp enter the transfer market on the last day by contracting with the Brazilian average fielder Arthur coming from Juventus on loan facility.
The last period witnessed the absence of both defender Ibrahim Konate since the beginning of the season and newcomer Calvin Ramsey, as well as Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, captain Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabio Carvalho, as well as left-back Andrew Robertson among the injured.
Liverpool is waiting for several battles, whether local or continental, by playing five Premier League matches against Brighton, Arsenal, Manchester City, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United. The Reds will also play against Glasgow Rangers twice in the Champions League group stage competition.
Liverpool occupies seventh place with nine points, seven points behind Arsenal, the leaders in the English Premier League.
