Under Pressure: The Reset: Gomez’s Reality, Tactical Tweaks and Winning Ugly at West Ham
Description
The focus shifts to Liverpool’s much-needed reset at West Ham, where selection choices, structure and pragmatism delivered a vital clean sheet. Hamzah explains the decision to rest Salah, why Szoboszlai moved wide, and how Joe Gomez returned despite ongoing knee injections. Si gives a detailed sports-science breakdown of Gomez’s tendon issues, load management, and why the defender cannot play every match. The discussion moves into Liverpool’s unusual gameplan, with a reduced press, compact shape and a deliberate attempt to limit long-ball chaos. Dan rounds things off with the match metrics, revealing how Liverpool controlled the game despite its strange rhythm. A smart, tactical deep dive into a win built on survival rather than style.
