Stats Reveal How Liverpool Neutralised West Ham and Regained Premier League Rhythm

Strong duels, smart territory management and a spike in attacking efficiency outline a clear tactical shift.

Liverpool went to West Ham needing clarity, control and something that resembled a reset. They found it in a 2–0 win that looked simple on the surface but revealed plenty when you dig into the details. For me, the performance carried more weight than the scoreline. It showed a Liverpool side that has been trying to steady itself, finally leaning into a bit of pragmatism, valuing territory and structure, and trusting that the talent at the top of the pitch would find the moment.

What stood out most was how intentional the entire performance felt. It was measured, rigid in the right ways and shaped by a respect for West Ham’s limited but obvious strengths. The data from the game reinforces that story, and the tactical shifts give me confidence that Liverpool are getting back to themselves in the Premier League.
