The subtle tactical aspects of the unusual role that this star played have been described

The No. 15 started the 3-1 victory at Villa Park on the left of the Reds' front three, with Mohamed Salah in his usual position on the right and Darwin Nunez in the center, he then went into depth about the pre-game instructions Jürgen Klopp and his coaching staff had given him, Oxlade-Chamberlain told Liverpoolfc.com, "I think I did OK." 

"I simply sought to ensure that I completed the defensive task for the squad. It's new and we're doing it a little bit differently, obviously playing out on the left, "I believe that when Bobby plays up front, he is the one who drops in deep.

We performed admirably in the first half, at least admirably enough, and I believe we dominated overall, they occasionally demonstrated their potential for danger, but overall, 

Scoring two goals was certainly significant

We expected them to come out incredibly hungry and put pressure on us, and they did just that; perhaps we didn't respond to that effectively enough.
