Liverpool have overcome another hurdle on their way towards the 2024/25 Premier League title, defeating Manchester City away from home by two goals to nil this past weekend.

Arne Slot’s Reds took an early lead through Mohamed Salah from a set-piece in the 14th minute before Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the lead in the 37th minute of the game.

Game state allowed Liverpool to take a defence-first approach for the majority of the game, which worked a treat in silencing Man City at the Etihad.

Fintan O’Reilly’s tactical analysis piece aims to shed some light on Liverpool’s defensive tactics from Sunday’s fixture.

Coaching attacking play, and specifically, creativity in wide players, can be one of the most challenging concepts for coaches to improve in their players.

However, it is often a piece of trickery or moment of magic in the wide areas that lead to the game’s defining moments.

Every football fan can picture an occasion where a winger’s brilliance led to a goal.

These game-changing impacts make taking the time to work on this tactical theory worthwhile.

The very best of the creative wide players have a combination of devastating speed, technical trickery and tactical understanding.

This tactical analysis will analyse examples from various levels of the game to highlight some of the attacking tactical and technical concepts modern wide players require.
