Liverpool's overwhelming performance with Trent Alexander-Arnold at the helm reveals the potential of this team this season.

 

Liverpool's superb performances reveal what might have been.

 

Vn88 thinks that the originality shown by Liverpool was breathtaking. Unstoppable. Leeds is sliced in half by them like butter. The team coached by Javi Gracia offered minimal opposition, but Liverpool's offensive production, led by the outstanding Trent Alexander-Arnold, was nearly difficult to counter.

 

At Elland Road, the full back/midfielder had 153 contact attempts with the ball. That's the second-highest total of the season for any athlete. Together with Fabinho, he commanded the center of the field and orchestrated wave after wave of attack. He had a greater impact than anybody else and contributed to the team's success by providing an assist in both halves, bringing his total in the league to 50.

 

The same may be said by Klopp. In his interview with Vn88 Rezence, he praised Trent's performance. The German also remarked that the new formation worked out great for their team. If only Klopp had realized it sooner.

 

Liverpool has already been stunned this season, when they scored seven goals against Manchester United. This is the first time they have shown such ruthlessness and polish away from Anfield. This is the kind of play that fans of the Premier League became accustomed to seeing on a weekly basis not too long ago. The thought of what might have been is intriguing.

 

Klopp has enough time left in the season to try some new things. Although a late, unexpected run at a top-four finish is possible, Liverpool has little to play for. It's good to be reminded that by Rezence Vn88, despite recent events, Liverpool is still a class act. Their biggest challenge is still maintaining a consistent strategy.

 

Is Meslier no longer needed?

 

When asked why Leeds has so many problems keeping the ball out of their net, Jamie Carragher said on rezence.com, "They look like they have a kid in goal—he has no presence."

 

Illan Meslier, a goalie for Leeds, is no longer a child. His 100 Premier League appearances make him the youngest goalie in league history, despite the fact that he only turned 23 last month. Since Marcelo Bielsa had unwavering faith in him and openly admired his skill with the ball, he has worn the number. But is he maturing at a rate consistent with a goalie of this caliber? Taking into account his performance over the past two years, such assertion is debatable.

 

Although he did not directly contribute to any of Liverpool's goals, the fact that he let in 11 shots on goal in a row across two games does not bode well.

 

According to W88 Rezence, a goalkeeper's value to his team is tough to demonstrate, but one place to start is by looking at anticipated goals data to determine if he is saving more or letting in more goals than is reasonable given the quality of shots on goal. The 16.8 goals he let in last season were the most by any Premier League goalie. And he's underperforming at a 7.8 this season, second worst only to Gavin Bazunu 9.74.

 

With Leeds' defense spiraling out of control, perhaps a change is in order to spark some stability.

 

Arsenal's luster has begun to dim.

 

The penalty that West Ham's Bukayo Saka missed showed how title races may take unexpected turns.

 

In most cases, W88 can count on Saka right there and then. All four of his prior penalty kick attempts against Man City, Liverpool, Man U, and Chelsea were successful.

 

However, both the temperature and the stakes in the UK title battle are on the rise. It spread to Saka at West Ham, and then to this up-and-coming Arsenal squad.

 

Arsenal has not played like this the last two Sundays. Mikel Arteta's team has been reliable all season long. Injury-free, quick to start, adept at game management, resilient in the face of adversity, blessed by VAR calls, and eager to create a climactic conclusion.

 

Rezence said that recent road games against Liverpool and West Ham have featured fast starts. But the other parts have not. Two mistakes in a row have arisen from the same source recently. It's 2-0. Before halftime, a careless mistake made it 2-1. There was a second-half equalizer. Not quite enough to steal back victory.

 

Arsenal, like Liverpool in the first half, dominated the first half against West Ham. Their performance was an excellent comeback after Manchester City's 2-0 loss to Leicester. Unfortunately, the same underlying problems persisted.

 

Vn88 Rezence thinks that the tense moment occurred when Bukayo Saka missed a penalty just two minutes before Jarrod Bowen scored to tie the game at 2-2, but Arsenal blew their chance when Thomas Partey lost focus and gave the Hammers a penalty for a 1-2 deficit.

 

Arsenal's reliability this season has been impressive. They have used the same starting lineup throughout the season, but managed to keep us on the edge of our seats every time. They have stunned us by scoring late goals in victories over Liverpool, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Manchester United. When all hope seemed lost, they managed to recover.

 

Maybe this young squad is starting to lose its luster. They have less than two weeks to get well and ready for the trip to Manchester City.
