What is wrong with this pic?
This was the freekick conceded by Grujic which led to the free header in front of goal mouth.
One of things with the extra high line I think about is that the continual softening of the offside law means that it's become less and less of a protection. The ref/linesman aren't going to call offside now if there's a lad behind the line when the delivery is struck, they're going to see who it goes to first, and then what happens after that before calling an offside.
Also must be said Demirbay's delivery was great and you could see why they have scored many from set pieces – though I'd argue that we had the best two chances from set pieces, both from Lovren.
They also had a very interesting trick with Wagner standing way offside so no one could pick him up, and then he'd sprint back in to the onside space and take a very direct ball and lay it off – a dead ball trick adapted to open play, very well worked.
They were a very well coached team and a very attacking team. Yes, we could have conceded more, but we also could have scored handily a few more - Salah and Firmino missed the biggest chances.
It sometimes feels like in both this an the Watford game that we are creating chances so easily that as the game wears on the players are not as focused on the chance... they know there will be another one along soon. If we start going 3-0 in games, I think we'll see a calmer Liverpool, a more defeated opposition.
