Liverpool vs Zenit: 3 Ways Liverpool Can Pull It Back

By Kieran Milward /

"There is no way the tie is over - we are more than capable of getting the goals back, what gives us hope is that we created enough to win the game."
Although this sounds like Rodgers is putting a brave spin on a less than ideal situation, the tie is still recoverable and here is how Liverpool can pull it back.

3. Be Sharper In Front Of Goal

Despite the result, Liverpool created as many clear cut chances as Zenit in the first leg and probably should have come out of the game with a draw. Luis Suarez, excellent all season, will have to shoulder the majority of the blame for the wasted chances as he had 3 golden opportunities in the first half alone, chances that you would have expected him to put away. If Liverpool can create as much at home you would expect them to get on the score-sheet, especially after putting 5 past Swansea at the weekend and a couple of early goals will make Zenit question themselves. Liverpool also need their wide players to keep on creating chances for Suarez but also to start taking on chances themselves because Liverpool rely too much on the Uruguayan sometimes.
