#3 Huddersfield failed in their counter-attacking approach
It was easy to presume what approach Huddersfield had planned before the game began. Unlike what they achieved against Manchester United though, they simply couldn't get past the Liverpool midfield three.
Ragnar Klavan was an 11th-hour addition to the starting XI and he didn't really cover himself in glory when given chances in the past. That Liverpool defence was there for the taking, but Huddersfield lacked the pace up front as Laurent Depoitre had a poor game.
Tom Ince barely had any impact either and while you can admit Huddersfield were poor, the Liverpool midfield should be given some credit as well.
Liverpool lost possession of the ball 28 times, but David Wagner's side simply failed to muster good transitions in the game as Liverpool crowded out the opposition players well. The way the media put the game out kind of disappointed too as the away side didn't really press Liverpool. It wasn't the battle of the geggenpress, just a question of when Liverpool could breach the opposition defence.
