Salah passes, Gakpo scores, Haaland stealth, Liverpool 2-0 sends Manchester City 7 games without a win

At 0:00 a.m. on December 2, Beijing time, the 13th round of the English Premier League ushered in a strong dialogue, and Liverpool hosted Manchester City.

In the first half, Salah assisted Gakpo to break the deadlock on the field, Walker watched the ball without looking at the ball and gave a big gift, Van Dijk hit the post with a header, and Manchester City only had one shot on goal in the half; In the second half, Dias created a penalty and Salah doubled the lead with a penalty shot, before missing a great chance and De Bruyne was saved with a one-on-one effort.

In the end, Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City won seven consecutive wins in all competitions, leading the Premier League standings with 9 points, Manchester City suffered four consecutive defeats in the Premier League & 7 games without a win in all competitions, and the Premier League ranking fell to fifth, which is also the first time in Guardiola's coaching career that he has not won 7 games.

Liverpool vs Manchester City,Slote lined up the 4231 formation, Dias switched to the No. 9 position, followed by Szobosloy, flanked by Salah and Gakpo, Hrafenberg and McAllister formed a double midfield, Alexander-Arnold, Gomes, Van Dijk, Robertson formed a back four, Kelleher goalkeeper, and the starting value was 558 million euros；Pep Guardiola lined up in a 4231 formation, Haaland burst forward, Foden behind him, Nunes and Lewis on both sides, Gundogan and B formed a double back, Ake, Akanji, Dias, Walker formed a back four, Ortega was on goal, and the starter was worth 699 million euros。

In this campaign, Manchester City was reimbursed for Rodri's season, Kovacic was injured, and the back-back combination composed of Gundogan and B seats was not hard at all, especially Gundogan was always plugged in and had poor physical fitness, and the defense lost his position, which was really useless. Due to Guardiola's persistence in passing and control, Manchester City's waistless remnants struggled very much. In addition, Haaland does not have the ability to hold the ball with his back in the No. 9 position, unable to play the role of a fulcrum, and he does not have the ability to break through with the ball to create opportunities, and the 1.91-meter figure has no header ability, but Van Dijk is a mediocre striker in front of him, and he is invisible all over the field, which is also Haaland's inertia of stealth when he plays a tough game, and Doku has broken through many times in the second half, but Haaland in the middle has not prepared a strong team at all, and he doesn't know what he is doing when he wanders around the field.

In contrast to Haaland is Salah, although the Egyptian pharaoh also missed the opportunity, Salah has the ability to hold the ball with his back, is very sharp with the ball, can pass and shoot, and is the key to Liverpool's victory. The strongest striker in the current team, Salah > Haaland. Gakpo's goal stems from Walker's "eye defense" of watching the ball and not looking at people, to be honest, some Manchester City meritorious players such as Walker cannot be used, and Manchester City, which has lost 7 games & four consecutive defeats in the Premier League, needs to update the lineup.

Pep Guardiola's superstitious belief in Haaland and his reluctance to let Alvarez go is the biggest mistake in Manchester City's transfer work this season. In the end, Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 to win seven consecutive victories in all competitions, leading by 9 points, Liverpool vs Manchester City, there is no rhythm of strong dialogue, Manchester City has been too stretching recently.

Full game,Liverpool managed 44% possession but had a total of 18 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target; Manchester City had just eight shots on goal, two of which were on target。
