Liverpool demonstrated a fantastic performance at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s men took all the three points home with a wonderful 4-1 win over Stoke City. The manager had to make a lot of tough choices ahead of this game as he had a few injury woes and needed his key players to be fit before the return leg of the quarter-final against Dortmund on Thursday. Klopp went ahead with a different formation and gave chances to new players and all this paid off as the Reds dominated the game and finished with a convincing scoreline. Here are the three key points from the match.
- The Changes worked
Klopp made a lot of changes in terms of formation as well as personnel and everything paid off as Liverpool displayed a sublime performance. The manager opted for the 4-4-2 diamond in the second half and the formation clicked very well with the side selection. Allen and Milner showed tremendous work-rate in their respective positions and the defensive pairing of Toure and Skrtel worked as well to everyone’s surprise.
