Liverpool have shown remarkable strength in the EPL this season, with two victories and shutouts in the first two rounds of matches, including a remarkable 2-0 home win. In this game, Liverpool's passing success rate was 92%, breaking the highest single-game passing success rate record since the 2003/04 season, an achievement that puts the new coach Schrocken on par with the "master of passing and controlling" Pep Guardiola.
It is worth mentioning that the speed of Liverpool's counterattack is breathtaking. In the game, the team once broke the record of rounding up corners, and then quickly launched a counterattack, Luis Diaz's precise shot showed the essence of the Red Army's rapid counterattack inherited from former coach Jurgen Klopp.
Schlokan said after the match that his tactical philosophy is quite similar to that of Jurgen Klopp, and he was satisfied with his players' performance despite the fact that there is still room for improvement in this game. He mentioned, "We created countless attacking chances and the players' performance was impressive. The only regret is that we didn't extend our lead faster to secure the win." It's worth noting that Klopp won one and drew one in his first two league matches after taking over at Liverpool, while Schrockham won both matches to finish with a slightly better record of two wins and two draws.
