Liverpool vs. Brighton: 3 Talking points from the resilient win for the reds

#2 Misfiring front three

The Liverpool front three looked below par against Brighton.

Mohamed Salah scored from a Roberto Firmino assist, but that's was all from the Liverpool forwards against Brighton. They looked rusty with several misplaced passes from Sadio Mane.

Salah could have scored a couple of more goals, but he missed several chances of their own. The only standout player out of them was Roberto Firmino who worked tirelessly against Brighton and repeatedly finding spaces in the opposing box, but all of them were far from the usual best.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
