Both Liverpool and Arsenal shared a number of similarities in their attacking play in this match, but Liverpool's setup was more akin to a counter-attacking side (46.5 pc possession), as you would expect, likewise, Arsenal's attacking style focussed on
overloads out wide in forward positions — whereas Liverpool attempted to
create overloads in
situations in order to exploit and expose the midfield from deep:
This, as explained above, is simply moving to
create a numerical
overload in a given
situation, whether that be a 2v1, a 3v2 or a 4v3.
