We offer almost no threat from set-pieces at the moment. Missing all your CBs is a big part of that. We are not that well stocked with big lads otherwise.
Yep, it's a massive loss, especially handy in games like yesterday where getting that first goal in any way, shape, or form is usually enough to win or open the game up and score more.
Our threat at set pieces has been one of Klopp's biggest but quietest successes with this team's evolution. Especially as another tool to break teams down and break the deadlock.
Think its easily forgotten that we weren't always a free-scoring, intricate beauty of a team last season, we were effective to world class levels in all areas and sometimes we needed set piece goals to win games, and its another thing we've lost this season. It was the difference in this fixture last season and other games, thats a shortfall that is made up in other ways or simply remains a deficit.
