"Andy, I have a question. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Seeing that there was not much time left in the first half, although Tottenham Hotspur did not score a goal but firmly grasped the initiative of the game, while Liverpool couldn't even play a decent quick counterattack, Martin Taylor took the initiative to arouse the topic and analyzed the strange situation of this game with his partner, "It stands to reason that even if Owen loses the ace of the striker, Liverpool's counterattack should not be so weak." Baros and Cisse can win the European Championship Golden Boot and the top scorer in Ligue 1, which shows that the two must have this quality. Why did they become soft-footed shrimp as soon as they arrived in Liverpool?"

"Martin, that's a good question. As Sky TV's ace commentator, Andy Gray not only has a wealth of knowledge about football, but also knows how to get the audience interested when the game is at a stalemate: "In my opinion, there are two main reasons why this is happening. ”

"One is that Benitez has been negligent in his formation, and he shouldn't simply use Baros and Cisse as substitutes for Owen. While Baroshe, like Cisse and Owen, are known for their incredible speed, there are many differences between them when it comes to detail. For example, Owen is faster and more decisive in shooting, Barosh has better skills and is relatively sticky, and Cisse is faster than Owen, but his off-ball running awareness and dribbling skills can be described as miserable. These nuances make it difficult for Baros and Cisse to pull off a feat of their caliber against a team of Tottenham's calibre like Owen. In my opinion, having Husky paired with either of them would work much better than having both of them on the court at the same time. ”

Due to the butterfly effect brought by George, Liverpool failed to get a Champions League ticket last season, so the cash-strapped Benitez did not make the decision to sell Husky to Birmingham after taking charge as he did in his previous life. However, even so, Benitez did not like to see the extremely rough English centre-forward, and even did not include his name in the eighteen-man squad for this game.

"As for the second reason, it is that Liverpool have serious shortcomings in terms of personnel," said Andy Gray, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "In order to play a quick counter-attack that can threaten Tottenham, then Liverpool must have a good enough player in the midfield to be the first point of attack in the counter-attack." Only in this way will they be able to accurately grasp the fleeting opportunity to fight back. Otherwise, if Liverpool wants to make a breakthrough in the league battlefield by relying on defensive counterattacks, it can only be said to be a fool's dream!"

"But Andy, during the time of Houllier's coaching, Liverpool also didn't have a single point of exit that you said, and the results were also very good?" Seeing Andy Gray's comments come to an end for the time being, Martin Taylor wasted no time in questioning, "For example, in the 00-01 season, Liverpool won five titles, including the UEFA Cup." And in the following 01-02 season, the Reds even beat Manchester United to win the league runner-up!"

That's because, Hollier's tactics maximized and squeezed Irving's potential, relying entirely on Irving's individual ability to solve the game. Andy Gray didn't even think about Taylor's question, and answered directly, "You might as well think carefully, at that time, Liverpool's offensive tactics were to go directly to Owen as soon as there was a ball, and then let him decide what to do with the ball?"

Having a player like Owen with the potential of a top striker has to be said to be Houllier's luck and Owen's great misfortune. It was because of Houllier's over-squeezing that Owen was overloaded for a long time, not only did he not have time to absorb and digest new things, but he was also plagued by injuries early, and finally began to fall before his career was at its peak.

"Hearing you say that, it seems like that's true. Martin Taylor suddenly realized, "So Andy, you should be optimistic about Tottenham to win this game now, right?"

"Yes, I do think Tottenham have a much bigger chance of winning than Liverpool in this game. Andy Gray nodded decisively, after all, what he said just now was enough to show his position, and he must not do anything to slap himself at this time, "Don't look at the score on the field is still 0-0 now." But in reality, Liverpool is now in a very dangerous situation. If Benitez doesn't find a way to solve the problem of attacking difficulties soon, it will really only be a matter of time before Tottenham break down Dudek's goal. ”

I don't know if it's Andy Gray's crow's beak or because Liverpool have indeed reached their limits under Tottenham's powerful attack. As soon as he finished speaking, Barosh lost to Vidic in a duel in front of the pitch! The Tottenham players who had successfully intercepted immediately launched a quick counter-attack, and Alonso's long ball accurately found Ronaldo along the right flank, who rushed to pass the ball into the Liverpool penalty area before Reese stretched out his foot to clear the ball!

Although Carragher and Hyypia are both veterans who have played in the Premier League for many years, and the latter was even selected in the UEFA Team of the Year during Liverpool's five crowns, the two still look a little embarrassed when facing Drogba - the power of this Ivorian monster is too strong, even with the strength of the two of them, there is no way to guarantee that Drogba will be 100% suppressed when he is in perfect condition!

The most important thing is that because they were almost under the fierce attack of Tottenham throughout the first half, at this time, Hyypia and Carragher's physical fitness has reached a critical point, but Drogba still looks like a tiger!

Under the influence of each other, Drogba easily jumped high from the bag between the two, accurately pushed Ronaldo's cross into the far corner of the goal, and broke the door of Liverpool under Dudek's desperate gaze!

Towards the end of the first half, Didier Drogba scored his first league goal of the new season for Tottenham!

“…… Andy, I don't think you have any problem becoming a prophet in the future, even if you don't work as a narrator. Glancing at the TV footage of the Spurs players celebrating their goals on the pitch, and then at Andy Gray with a sluggish expression, Martin Taylor couldn't help but make a joke.

Didier Drogba's goal before half-time had a huge impact on Liverpool. Prior to this, although they were slow to open the situation on the offensive end and were in a state of passive beating on the field, due to the balance of the score, the Liverpool players were able to maintain their composure and play according to Benitez's arrangement. And now, after Tottenham took the lead in breaking the deadlock, the mentality of Liverpool's players has changed all of a sudden!

Anyway, we are already 0-1 behind, what can we do if we keep defending? Can we rely on those two unreliable guys on the front line to help us equalize? This is the only thought in the minds of the Liverpool players after Drogba's goal!
