Villa didn't know how they fell behind 0-3. Until the start of the game, Villa still wanted to counterattack, but Villa's counterattack seemed a little childish in front of Liverpool.

Liverpool's midfield and frontcourt used pressure to prevent Villa from finding effective counterattack opportunities, while the backcourt used one-on-one defense to defend Villa's three forwards very well.

Ashley Young is old and is no longer the Ashley Young of Manchester United. Facing Arnold, his breakthrough can hardly form a cross.

Watkins is fast and young, but he has to face Gvardiol and Van Dijk who are also young, fast, strong and good at defense.

As for Jacob, his greatest characteristic is passing the ball, but Robertson can not only accurately determine the direction of Jacob's pass, but also always find an opportunity to receive Rodri's pass when Jacob leaves.

Liverpool made passing the ball from the backcourt extremely simple through the connection between the right midfielder and the left back!

The 36th minute of the game!

McAllister has fully adapted to the feeling of dribbling the ball slightly behind the midfield, a rhythm that is completely different from playing as a central midfielder or attacking midfielder.

"McAllister seems to be gradually adapting to the feeling of playing as a number six, controlling the ball in the backcourt. Liverpool's backcourt rhythm is now at McAllister's feet!"

McAllister lowered his body with the ball, then quickly advanced towards the frontcourt. This time he did not pass it to Robertson, but to Arnold!

As soon as Arnold received the ball, all Aston Villa players instantly rushed to the right and quickly formed a counterattack position against Arnold on the right. This was the tactic Gerrard prepared for Liverpool.

If they can successfully steal the ball from Arnold's feet, Villa will be able to counterattack along Arnold's side. This is also the only direction that Gerrard believes Liverpool may lose the ball after studying it for a long time.

But Arnold didn't even pause, he just used his excellent long pass to pass the ball to Robertson on the left to complete the transfer!

"Liverpool used this combination frequently two or three seasons ago!"

Arnold's transfer made Villa's original counterattack formation meaningless. Robertson then received the ball and went straight to the penalty area. He saw Nunez who was asking for the ball!

Nunez heads the ball!

Lin Chen followed up with a shot!

The volley is extremely accurate!

Damir Martinez lost again!

Liverpool leads by four goals in the first half!

"Damir Martinez certainly never thought that the goal he was guarding would concede four goals in 45 minutes!"

"Gerrard's first performance against his old club was just right, I mean, just right for Liverpool."

"But for Villa, they need to hurry up and get out of trouble, otherwise four goals will not be the end, but only the beginning!"

After scoring the third goal and completing his hat trick, Lin Chen stopped celebrating because he wanted to save some face for his old friend Gerrard.

Finally the game went into halftime with Liverpool leading 4-0 with no pressure at all.

This is also the first time in so many games that Klopp feels that he can really take a break during the half-time break instead of thinking about how to make Liverpool equalize or overtake their opponents in the second half.

"This is the most exciting game I have seen against Liverpool in the past 40 or 50 Premier League games!"

"If Liverpool played like this every time, I would come to watch every game, even though I've been to almost every game before!"

"It's really more fun to watch your home team score crazy goals. Forget about last season's Liverpool. This season's Liverpool will be completely new!"

Gerrard tried his best to help Villa find a solution during the half-time break. However, after the start of the second half, Klopp made two substitutions and disintegrated Gerrard's defensive deployment!

In the 62nd minute of the game, Gakpo came on as a substitute for Salah. Salah, who had been fighting hard for the team in almost every game in the past period of time, can finally have a good rest!

After Gakpo came on the pitch, he also worked hard to create opportunities for the team!

The 68th minute of the game!

"Liverpool's transition from stealing the ball to attacking is so quick that they barely need any time to do so."

"Arnold passes the ball directly to Gakpo on the right side, and now the Dutch winger is dribbling the ball!"

"Enter the penalty area and cut inside!"

"Gakpo was knocked down by Khonsa!"

"The referee awarded another penalty!"

"Konsa's performance in this game is definitely a low score. Liverpool found too many opportunities on him!"

Gakpo came on as a substitute and created a penalty, Lin Chen continued to take the penalty and scored, completing a hat-trick, and scored five goals by himself, helping the team lead Aston Villa 5-0!

"Lin scored four goals and had one assist. His performance in this game was perfect!"

However, Lin Chen’s goal-scoring performance was not over yet. In the 70th minute of the game, Klopp continued to make substitutions. This time it was Soboslai who came on as a substitute!

"The team's new member Soboslai has arrived. He has replaced McAllister. This is to let Rodri return to the position of single defensive midfielder!"

"Soboslai has better offensive attributes, is handsome, and plays well!"

After Soboslai came on, Liverpool's midfield operation mode also changed. It was no longer based on control, but on attack.

Soboslai fully utilized his impact power to attack Douglas Lewis!

The 79th minute of the game!

"Soboslai dribbled the ball and passed Douglas Luis. This pass seemed to be in his original plan!"

After Soboslai completed the dribbling, he immediately passed the ball behind Nunez, but he was not looking for Nunez, because Lin Chen sprinted again and got rid of Konsa, got the ball in the penalty area, and directly passed the ball to the left!

Damian had already made all kinds of preparations to save Lin Chen's low shot, arc shot or violent shot, but he never expected that Lin Chen would use a lob shot at such a close distance!

"The fifth son has passed the exam!"

"Lin scored Liverpool's sixth goal of the game. All six goals were created by him. It was also his fifth goal of the game!"

Just when everyone thought that Liverpool would end the game with a score of 6-0, only two minutes into the game, Douglas Luis was intercepted by Lin Chen while dribbling the ball in the midfield, and then Lin Chen made a straight pass, assisting Nunez to score again!

This was the first time that the Uruguayan center forward scored twice in a single game since coming to the Premier League, and Lin Chen even scored seven goals on his own!

"If it wasn't Lin, tomorrow's headline would definitely be Nunes!"

"But now, Lin scored five goals and provided two assists alone, leading Liverpool to defeat Villa!"

"From now on, every media outlet will not want to do anything else except report on Lin!"
