Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool are not the leaders of the Premier League by chance. Although recent victories have been more difficult than spectacular, the ‘red’ are serious about everything and they made it clear in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup, where they tore apart West Ham with ‘little hands’ (5 -1).
Having learned the lesson from other seasons, the German coach took the opportunity to turn around despite the difficulty of the rival and everything went well. Liverpool came from uninspired ball games, but they got the ball rolling. The moves were reminiscent of the team from a few seasons ago and even without Salah or Alexander-Arnold on the field, the players gave it their all.
Elliott started irreverently, as usual, warning two whips as Anfield gasped for a goal. It came later, in a specialty of Szoboszlai, who hit him very hard from a distance and made it impossible for Areola (28′).
No more goals came in that first half, but there was no glimmer of hope for West Ham. In fact, he finished the first 45′ of the first half without taking a shot and he needed it in the second half to achieve them. It wasn’t enough for Liverpool to extend the lead with a Jones play on the baseline that surprised the French goalkeeper, who should have done a little more (56′).
This is a network monologue. Fast game, accurate passes and speed. Come on, what has become of Jürgen Klopp. Oh, and an enviable and enormous high pressure for a Moyes who had no response and who hit the third through Gapko (71′).
There was a mixture of hope. In an isolated play, Bowen, who else, took a cutback out of his hat and made a great shot to close the gap (77′) and West Ham were clear. The London team stepped up, it was time to take a risk, but that was their sentence. In a loss, Salah, alone in midfield, received a pass in space and killed the game (82′). Not long after, Jones completed the performance with his double (84′) and Liverpool were waiting for an opponent.
