Liverpool’s Defensive Challenges
Liverpool had problems in defense during the match mostly because they didn’t have key players like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Both of them are getting better with van Dijk back training and Alexander-Arnold supposed to return soon. When they come back Liverpool’s defense should be much stronger.
Caoimhin Kelleher Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper made a huge difference by saving a big penalty. He’s known to be good at saving penalties and his performance really helped Liverpool stay in the match. His playing shows he can be counted on when Liverpool needs him in big moments.
