A couple of days ago, Jürgen Klopp left Anfield upset at what was Liverpool's second defeat in a row against one of the Premier League's bottom sides. The head coach could not hide his anger at seeing the club slip further and further away from the race for the top spot, as a 2-1 scoreline against Leeds United took its toll on the squad, who not only swallowed the result, but saw two of their star players outplayed by a rookie.
Whites gem Tyler Adams had a dream match against one of the EPL's and the world's biggest clubs, Liverpool. The American, who was recently called up for the World Cup in Qatar by his country, took the nickname of the club that formed him, the Red Bulls, and as such, breaking up the midfield, winning balls for his club and showing up Fabinho who on more than one occasion could not cope with the speed of the 23-year-old player.

It was not enough for Adams to win the battle against Fabinho, but with the trickery that took him from New York to Leipzig, he showed the new face of the "Stars and Stripes" nation on the pitch, one that has been revamped and taken several rising stars from the Premier League, such as Aaronson Brenden, Adams' teammate at Leeds United, in no small part due to the management of American tactician Marsch Jesse.
After the first 45" minutes, the Leeds players confessed that Adams took the floor and told them, "We're going to walk out of here with the win!" and then the visitors began to offend the Red's further, pushing them to the limit. The American stuck his leg in even deeper, and like Thomas Gravesen, that player who went down in history for his rudeness rather than technique, he drew duels in his team's favour, including one with Scotland's Andrew Robertson, who was left stunned on the pitch.
The former MLS player is not quite an orchestrator, but he has more touches than some of his team-mates, and the chemistry he built on the pitch with Spaniard Marc Roca led to their win at Anfield. Klopp wants him and knows it won't be easy, as according to reports from England, the midfielder's market value amounts to 17 million, which could increase after a successful World Cup.
