If Liverpool needed extra motivation for the West Ham game, a transcript of Michail Antonio's latest podcast might do the trick
If Liverpool needed any extra motivation for Sunday's visit from West Ham United, a printed transcript of Michail Antonio's latest podcast might just do the trick.
"I watched the game [Wolves vs Liverpool] because it was before our game and Wolves could have run away with it!" he continued on his Footballer's Football podcast he shares with Newcastle striker Callum Wilson. "They had quite a few opportunities. We've got them this weekend and it's a six-pointer.
To continue an unbeaten run that now stands at 17 games, however, Klopp's men will have to turn in a much-improved opening period than the last two against Wolves and LASK in the Europa League. Both first halves were characterised by a sloppiness in play: loose touches, poor passes and slack decision-making.
The last seven fixtures of the 21/22 campaign were pockmarked by the concession of the opener in six fixtures that included the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris, while last season saw them go behind first in 20 of their 52 matches across all competitions. Add in four from a half-dozen this term and it's a clear pattern that needs to be arrested immediately.
