Liverpool vs Zenit: 3 Ways Liverpool Can Pull It Back

2. Keep The Concentration At The Back

It sounds so simple but Liverpool really do need to stop losing concentration at the back because it is costing them too many vital goals this season. In the first leg against Zenit, they were once more the architects of their own downfall in the goals that they conceded and in truth if it wasn't for some excellent saves from Pepe Reina then it would have been a lot worse. The first goal, although a brilliant finish from Hulk, came about because nobody closed the Brazilian down and he had all the time he wanted to pick out the top corner and the second came when a cross was not dealt with by Skrtel and Glen Johnson just allowed Semak to waltz past him and beat Reina from close range. These sort of mistakes cannot be afforded in the second leg and I would not be at all surprised if Daniel Agger starts the game alongside Jamie Carragher.
