Liverpool 4-1 West Ham United: 5 Talking Points

#2 Liverpool still need to learn how to close out games

Klopp looks on

Don’t get me wrong, they scored a fourth to avoid any late drama, but Liverpool still had to keep out West Ham on a few occasions.

Against a team in the lower half of the table, it’s alright to continue attacking, but we’ve seen games where the side are still a bit over-zealous and try to attack when they should be keeping the ball and mentally tire their opposition.

The goal Liverpool conceded was due to the team losing possession in midfield, trying to attack West Ham. An out of shape defence didn’t have any chance the moment their side lost the ball, so perhaps Klopp needs to tweak the way his side approach games when they are already a few goals up.
