West Ham are currently riding the crest of the wave but approached this game as though they were deeply entrenched in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>With Liverpool trying out their 12th different centre-back pairing of the Premier League season (owing to further injury woe), this was the perfect opportunity for Moyes to send out his charges with attacking impetus and ask questions of the makeshift Jordan Henderson-Nat Phillips combination.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Liverpool&#39;s four Premier League away wins this season:<\/p>\n<p>\u25c9 0-2 vs. Chelsea<br \/>\u25c9 0-7 vs. Crystal Palace<br \/>\u25c9 1-3 vs. Spurs<br \/>\u25c9 1-3 vs. West Ham<\/p>\n<p>London 2-15 Liverpool. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/C7QesEiy0C\">https:\/\/t.co\/C7QesEiy0C<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1355944886181253123?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for West Ham fans, the exact opposite happened. The hosts were camped far too deep in their own half and seldom threatened until they found themselves a goal down. The plan was clear, hold out for as long as possible and hope to nick a goal through a counter attack, or a set-piece, a classic smash-and-grab.<\/p>\n<p>However, Klopp\u2019s Liverpool were far too sophisticated to get called out by such an approach. Instead they dominated possession, took their goals with gusto and made West Ham look anything but a side hoping to break the glass ceiling and challenge the established order. Chance well and truly missed for Moyes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. <\/strong>Klopp\u2019s industrious diamond dominates midfield battle<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">This was a Klopp masterclass and the perfect delineation of his \u2018gegenpressing\u2019 system. With Sadio Mane sidelined for this encounter and Roberto Firmino handed a rest, the German went with a diamond formation, with Salah and Divock Origi spearheading the frontline, and it worked an absolute treat.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gini Wijnaldum&#39;s Premier League goals:<\/p>\n<p>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Away<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Away<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Away<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Home<br \/>\u26bd\ufe0f Away<\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#39;t happen often ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iFaQLoijpc\">pic.twitter.com\/iFaQLoijpc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1355942565623832578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">James Milner and Thiago Alcantara worked beautifully in tandem, treating the game like a training session and easily bypassing the West Ham midfield. Wijnaldum was the engine and put in the hard yards, while Shaqiri dovetailed in the No. 10 hole to cause confusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">West Ham struggled to get a foothold in the match and keep pace with Klopp\u2019s interchanging midfield, who closed down with high-voltage energy and linked up almost telepathically. There were a few raised eyebrows at the line-up prior to kick-off, but Klopp\u2019s tactical blueprint for this match was ingenious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Moyes\u2019 side simply couldn\u2019t handle the waves of pressure, the passing patterns and the consistent harrying. Shaqiri in particular, at the tip of the diamond was the attacking fulcrum, creating more chances than any player on the pitch, and following on from his world class assist against West Ham in the reverse fixture, with another breathtaking pass to take out Moyes&#8217; defence completely.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Xherdan Shaqiri created more chances (3) than any other player on the pitch during Liverpool&#39;s 3-1 win vs. West Ham.<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Salah loved the assist. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7p471jMOua\">pic.twitter.com\/7p471jMOua<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1355948486731194368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. <\/strong>Klopp\u2019s \u201cmonster in the air\u201d is Moyes\u2019 kryptonite<\/h2>\n<p>From Salah\u2019s scoring at one end to Phillips\u2019 aggressive defending at the other, these two haunted the Hammers at Anfield in the reverse fixture, and combined brilliantly at both ends this afternoon to inflict further woe on the top-six aspirants.<\/p>\n<p>With Klopp\u2019s casualty list a consistent thorn in his side this season, he was forced to deploy Phillips in the 2-1 win against West Ham in autumn, with the academy graduate making his first Premier League start, and he put in an exceptional display.<\/p>\n<p>In that meeting his task was to thwart the physically-imposing presence of Sebastien Haller, and he marked his Premier League bow by getting the better of the Frenchman, completely nullifying his threats and earning high praise from Klopp in the afterglow, who described him as a \u201cmonster in the air\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And again against West Ham he had the slightly more challenging task of man-marking Michail Antonio, but once more he produced a competent defensive display alongside Henderson against a West Ham side who rank first for headed goals and set-piece goals this season.

It is a testament to his unwavering discipline that Milner is still able to operate at the highest level of the game, stepping up for Klopp in times of injury crisis, and in this match, he dispelled any suggestions that his retirement is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the first 45 minutes Liverpool hogged the ball and enjoyed the lion\u2019s share of possession, with Milner working tirelessly in tandem with the equally-tenacious Georginio Wijnaldum. West Ham for all their praise in recent weeks, struggled to retain possession in the first half and match Liverpool\u2019s dogged diamond for energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Milner produced a performance full of zip in north London against a midfield that boasts tackle kingpin Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg among their ranks, and he mirrored those exploits to the east in the capital, proving an exceptional stalwart for Klopp and a consummate pro.<\/p>\n<p>In fitting style he made way in the 57th minute for up-and-comer Curtis Jones, who made an immediate impression and provided an assist after Milner had wore West Ham out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool got their Premier League title defence back on track with a routine 3-1 win over West Ham on Sunday.
