In the early hours of Thursday morning, UEFA Group A will usher in a key match, Liverpool will challenge Ajax away. However, the "Reds" have been plagued by injuries recently, with as many as eight players in a state of recuperation, of which the front line is the worst hit. Dawun Niunis, Diego Zuda, and Luis Dias are all out of action, which has forced Gopp to reintroduce the 442 formation, a move that will undoubtedly weaken the team's attacking power.
Since Gopp took charge, Liverpool has been playing a 433 formation, but in view of the injury problems of the front line, the team has tried to switch to a 442 in the last two EPL matches, but the result is not satisfactory. Liverpool won 1-0 against Westham at home and 0-1 against Nottingham Forest on the road. Facing the more powerful Ajax, Liverpool may not be able to break the deadlock.
Midfielders Tiago Ajendana, Efamilu and Nabikida, as well as defenders Zul Medibi and Ibrahim Maganadi are all out with injuries, making the team's front three tight. The only good thing is that if Liverpool beat Ajax in this match, they will be able to get out of the tournament. But it remains to be seen whether they will be able to withstand the pressure of such a difficult situation.
