Coach Arne Slot received many compliments when his tactical adjustments helped Liverpool with 10 men save the 2-2 draw with Fulham. In particular, Diogo Jota's goal in the 86th minute, not long after being put on the field.
This goal clearly shows the incredible talent of a player in finding space. Jota chose a smart position before quickly rushing into the space between Issa Diop Jorge Cuenca to receive a pass from Darwin Nunez and score.
Jota has only played for 6 minutes, the first time in 2 months with a muscle injury. However, the 28-year-old player still has a habit of scoring important goals for the "Red Brigade". Jota's return to the best physical condition will be a timely boost for Liverpool's Premier League title hopes.
With Federico Chiesa also returning from injury, for the first time the Dutch strategist has all the strikers to choose from. Of course, Mohamed Salah will continue to be the leader with 16 goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season.
However, with a long way to go, Liverpool will not only need Salah to shine. Instead, to win the championship, all Slot stars must know how to share the responsibility of scoring goals with each other.
The away trip to Tottenham will open a series of difficult matches for The Kop in the Premier League. In that context, Chelsea also increased the pressure when narrowing the gap with Liverpool to only 2 points.
Obviously, difficulties were predicted even when Slot's side were in good form at the start of the season. However, with a quality attack, including Jota's promotion, Slot can be somewhat assured of a goal.
Liverpool's deep attack power could be an important factor in the title race this season.
"We will have an interesting match with Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. But for the remaining teams, any match will be interesting. No match is easy.
I have to give them credit because if I look at Tottenham now I see their identity. Ange Postecoglou has given them a clear identity. Every match they play now brings joy," Slot said before Liverpool faced Tottenham in the Premier League.
