Meanwhile, Mee is dropping as Jorgensen and Norgaard (yellow) are moving towards the edge of the six-yard box. The attacked zone is vacant because of Janelt’s role (red) in blocking Thiago. That’s what they do and they do that really well. This time the idle players aren’t at the far post, they are the ones towards the near post. After Liverpool thought they grasped the London club’s routine after the first corner, Thomas Frank’s side played the same corner but used another target. The goal is ruled out for offside though because it deflects off Mee before going in. Towards the far post, Pinnock, Jensen and Wissa (white) hold their positions, which means On the other hand, Brentford’s approach looks very similar to the one they used for the first corner, but that’s the trick.

We knew it was going to be a difficult game, we knew their threat around the set-pieces and we didn’t do well enough.
