3 Things that went wrong for Liverpool against Stoke City

#1 Failing to break down Stoke's defence and wasteful in front of goal

Danny Ings' goal was ruled as offside

Salah had the best chance of the game to put Liverpool in front when he was put through on goal, one on one with goalkeeper Jack Butland.

His idea of chipping the ball was a wise one but surprisingly he put it wide, to the shock of the Anfield faithful and viewers across the world.

Salah redeemed himself swiftly by playing a short pass in the box for another wonderful opportunity but an extra touch by the incoming Alexander-Arnold led to another wasted chance as Liverpool found it hard to break down the Stoke City defence for the rest of the game.

Salah put in a very disappointing performance as he seven shots in total but none of them were on target.

On the other hand, he was dispossessed on three occasions and more shockingly, failed to complete a single dribble as he was closed down very well by Stoke left-back Erik Pieters.

Failure to win aerial battles and penetrate the backline further resulted in the attackers losing the ball, getting dispossessed as Stoke made multiple clearances and this ultimately affected the home side as they were unable to sustain any momentum in the 90 minutes and beyond.

The Merseysiders created most of their chances in the latter stages of the game but none of their shots seemed to threaten Butland's goal which ended up in them coming up and the Potters earning a well-deserved draw.
