Liverpool have 14 wins in a row in the league, three are missing from the next record, the only flaw in the past few weeks comes from the FA Cup, in which an improved youth group failed to make it finishing 2-2 at Shrewburry Town. When some top performers were allowed to play in the second leg, they secured the round of 16 ticket winning 1-0 at home. Liverpool have conceded exactly three goals in the last 15 competitive matches and Shrewsbury scored two of them. Although Liverpool is rightly praised for it's world-class attack, it should be noted that it is the defensive players that secured the victories for the Reds in the more balanced games. The hosts are currently at the bottom of the table and the 19th Watford are six points ahead of them. The problem of the team is primarily the shaky defense. |
