3 things that went wrong for Liverpool against Chelsea

#3 Substitutes fail to make the desired impact

Solanke flattered to deceive against his former club.

Olivier Giroud's first-half header meant that Liverpool needed to attack more effectively, efficiently in the second half. The second half saw Jurgen Klopp replacing Nathaniel Clyne with Jordan Henderson in the 59th minute. This saw Alexander-Arnold shift back to his favoured Right Back position with Henderson occupying the number 6 role.

Henderson stuck to his task of recycling possession, keep things tidy in the middle, making some interceptions in vital areas of the pitch. Albeit keeping things simple, Henderson failed to find the final ball to release Liverpool's front three and failed to help his side in getting the equaliser.

Klopp replaced Andy Robertson with Dominic Solanke which saw Firmino drop into midfield and Milner occupying the Left Back position. Solanke failed to direct his header in the second half and saw it sailing over Courtois' post. The Englishman failed to hold up the ball and was easily shrugged off by the likes of Cahill and Azpilicueta.

Alberto Moreno came on during the dying seconds of the game and failed to create any clear cut opportunity.

This performance highlights the need to invest in some squad players who could come on and make a difference. It also highlights the need of a plan B which is required against sides who like to defend deep in their own half. If Liverpool want to end their drought for the Premier League, they need to invest smartly on some quality players, thereby increasing their squad depth.
