"Wolves fans left Anfield on Saturday with a familiar sinking feeling, another defeat, zero points, and the club still rooted to the foot of the Premier League table. However, the 2-1 loss to Liverpool wasn't the rollover many expected. For a brief period in the second half, Rob Edwards' side looked capable of snatching a result, rattling the league leaders in a way few teams have managed this season."
"Of course you're frightened every time when they do arrive, especially when he brought another big man in, with the crosses they gave. This is the key. For all the complex pressing structures and tactical nuances of modern football, Slot's Liverpool were destabilised by directness, physicality, and crosses into the box. Edwards should take this admission as a direct instruction manual for Tuesday's clash with Man United."
Wolves lost 2-1 at Anfield and remain bottom of the Premier League with zero points. During the second half, Rob Edwards' side briefly threatened Liverpool after introducing Jorgen Strand Larsen to partner Tolu Arokodare, unsettling the leaders. Arne Slot admitted fear when that pairing arrived, citing crosses and aerial threat. Liverpool's structured pressing was disrupted by direct, physical play and crosses into the box. Edwards should consider starting a 'big man' aerial approach against Manchester United, who are coping with defensive injuries and a makeshift backline, to bypass the press and exploit defensive disarray.
