Post Reply Return to Clark's Pitch

1) Defense is still getting up to speed. That back four hadn't played together competitively in a while.
2) They didn't need to do much in the second half, so they lost focus a bit.
3) Alisson's injury didn't help second half focus either.
4) Norwich doesn't mess around. Fun to watch. I didn't know if it will work over the long haul, but I think they'll stay up relatively easy. They'll at least go down swinging instead of parking the bus. I can respect that.

Liverpool's defense does need to get better, especially with it looking like Alisson will be out for a while. I think they will with a somewhat easy start to the season. Arsenal at Anfield in week 3 will help. Would be much tougher if that was away.
