Liverpool will be eliminated from the FA Cup after losing to Brighton & Hove Albion with a narrow score of 2-1 in the match which took place at the FALMER stadium, Sunday.
Liverpool’s elimination from the FA Cup at the same time made Liverpool fast for domestic titles this season because in the Carabao Cup the Reds had also been eliminated for a long time, while in the Premier League itself the chances of winning were closed because they were far behind from the big four teams, even Mohammed Salah cs was predicted not to will be able to qualify for the Champions league this season.
When compared to last season, Liverpool this season deserves to be said to be Loserpool. This is not without reason, especially since Liverpool has the potential to fast for a title. This is very much different when compared to his performance last season where Liverpool was in extraordinary form and was able to appear in 3 finals at once, namely the Champions League Final, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
In the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, Liverpool won the title, while in the Champions League, they finished as runners-up. Not only that, Liverpool were also able to end the Premier League competition last season in second place. For this season Liverpool actually still has a chance to win the Champions League title. But the chance to become a champion is relatively small, seeing Liverpool’s opponent in the round of 16.
The Reds will face defending champions Real Madrid in February. Beating Madrid is not an easy matter in the midst of Liverpool’s random performance. Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the 2022/reuteurs champions league final
Even Liverpool have been beaten 2 times in a row by Real Madrid in the final, namely in the 2018 champions league final and the 2022 champions league final. And these two defeats were the same when Liverpool were at their best.
Despite high pessimism raining down on the Anfield public, miracles can happen, especially now that Liverpool no longer hopes to win the domestic competition, so the Champions League can become the main focus for Juergen Klopp’s team.
It’s just a matter of how Liverpool can restore the confidence that is starting to lose control. However, Liverpool’s performance during the group stage of the Champions League proved slick and only swallowed one defeat, namely over the leaders of the Serie A standings Napoli when they visited Naples.
However, Mohammed Salah cs was able to avenge the defeat while playing at Anfield as well as giving Napoli the first defeat in all competitions that the club from Naples has played this season.
If the glorious performance in the Champions League continues, it is not impossible that the revenge of the 2 final editions of the Champions League will be avenged in the round of 16 or Liverpool will even be able to qualify for the final and win the big elbow title which is also able to remedy all the failures that have occurred in domestic competitions this season.
It will be interesting to see whether management and coaching team can bring Liverpool to better position for the rest of the season. The fans are definitely waiting for an improved performance for their team.
