The Reds host the Hornets at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson has outlined one improvement that the team needs to make when they take to the pitch against Watford in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
The Reds are back at the top of the table after playing out a goalless draw at Manchester United last weekend which edged them one point ahead of Manchester City but a side who previously bulldozed opponents early in the season hasn’t had quite as much luck in front of goal lately.
Over the past five games, Liverpool have drawn four, including two consecutive goalless draws – albeit against tough opponents in Man Utd and Bayern Munich – while of the five goals they have scored in four league matches, three came at home against a Bournemouth side in the midst of a poor away run (BBC Sport).
While the present outlook is positive, with Jurgen Klopp’s charges having fate in their own hands in the league, Robertson admitted that the team needs to start getting back to “playing better and attacking better”, while also stressing the need to be more clinical when they face the Hornets at Anfield in midweek.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: “It’s a big week so we need to recover and then look forward to Wednesday and hopefully we can be a bit more clinical with the last pass.”
After the Watford game comes the Merseyside derby, with Liverpool heading to Goodison Park on Sunday to lock horns with an Everton side which has not had the best of things but will be especially eager to dent their rivals’ title hopes.
