Liverpool (H) - Carabao Cup 4th Round - Post-Match Thread

[deano ou812]

As ever the football under Pep is great. We’ve beaten the medias darlings and we have some great youngsters coming through. We are truly blessed.

Only downer is that this season we do look so open at times. 4 goals conceded In last 2 home games

Could be the effect of having Haaland in the team,where defensively we now aren’t as strong now,but if we outscore teams I’ll take it ..

Anyone else think the officiating was leaning in one particular direction.

Not really

clipperty is such a weird guy, just something really wrong about him

Thought that Ake played well at left back. He got a bit lost for Salah's goal but he battled really well and got the crucial winner.

I know KDB was MoTM but Ake was superb throughout and with the goal he was caught between trying to close the space and mark Salah. There was a point in the first half where Salah almost put him on his backside but he lifted himself quickly and got back and forced a corner rather than a cross coming in. It’s a tough job marking Salah as many defenders know only too well.

I’ve been saying for a while he’s head and shoulders over all the others.Just needs to cut out the niggling injuries.

correct
I think he averages 20 games a year over 6 years

Some top performances tonight. Impressive restart.

Give Aguero those Nunez chances and he’s scoring a hat trick

How much did they pay for Nunez ?

Would've been good if you had stopped at that point. We did bury them, the "2" flatters them.

Of course it fecking flatters them and it could have cost us the tie given the other chances we afforded them.
We always always struggle to beat these despite being by far the better team and I think I’m entitled to let that bother me a bit….
