Ange Poscoglou recently occurred about hope and its natural disadvantage in terms of the way things lost for Tottenham this season. Whenever the manager saw “light at the end of the tunnel”, he said, it was “usually an upcoming train”.
He talks about the club injury situation, the crisis that never seems to end, and yet the line about the train is a suitable way to describe Liverpool, which is less rolling in the final Carabao Cup, Their first said showpiece under the Arne slot, as steam their way there. They refused to look like any other outcome. They are completely flatted spurs.
Who can stop Liverpool this season? This is the question on everyone’s lips as they look from the peak of the Premier League and the glory of the eye in the Champions League and FA Cup. No one believes the Spurs will do it here, maybe not the diehards who make a journey north and maybe not even the players themselves – certainly not once the reality of what they are facing.
Done, really, when Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty area early in the second half to give them a combined lead -his 26th purpose of the season. At that point, the Spurs were still close to it but for now no one really believes they are. The evidence is that it is in graphic detail throughout the Anfield Turf where Liverpool is faster, sharp, hungrier. Simple repentance.
Spurs can be pointed to a single flicker in front of the goal, a moment at 78 minutes when Heung-Min’s son pulled a step and exploded against the bar from a tight angle. They only have five shots in total; The rest is completely forgotten. Out of target.
After 3-0, Dominik Szoboszlai added further to Cody Gakpo’s first-half opener, and there would still be time for the unknown Virgil Van Dijk to add fourth. It is up to the Newcastle to reject Liverpool in the final. The slot team will start as heavy favorites.
There are inevitable “morning sacks” chants for poscoglou from Liverpool supporters; They were tracking him for a few weeks and, well, he was still here.
Next up for Poscoglou is the FA Cup tie of Sunday at Aston Villa. What hurts him is how much adventure and personality he is asking is shown. Spurs went with a whisper. And, of course, another injury, Richarlison insisted at the end of the first half to join 10 players who did not make a trip because of various problems.
It is easy to feel that Liverpool wants some recent mistakes against Spurs from London matches. There is Luis Díaz that Farrago’s not allowed goal but more relentlessly, perhaps, the first leg of this tie, when midfielder Lucas Bergvall should be sent instead of allowing to remain the only goal. They did not allow Spurs to play and how they went on their own.
Liverpool rotated the heat while the first half wore. They led the owner and their press became an increase in the problem for Tottenham. The slot team camped in the opposition territory and the breakthrough was to be converted, Szoboszlai who saw a goal ruled out for the outside from a Salah Pass.

When the opener arrived, it followed a loose Yves Bisouuma pass but the error did not happen in a vacuum. This is what the Liverpool slot does to you. The ball worked widely with Salah and when he crossed out of his boot and Darwin Núñez brought a dose of riot in the middle, he ran for Gakpo. His feet were planted but he was able to summon power. Should Antonin Kinsky do more to keep the shooting? Possibly. The goalkeeper is not valid.
Kinsky is just about to put a Salah Volley into the top of the bar for 44 minutes and that’s when Richarlison came down to the other end with a calf problem, Liverpool played. Richarlison quarreled at the beginning with Van Dijk, accusing him of throwing a elbow in his direction. It is fair to say that sympathy from the Cop is in short supply for the former Everton player. Poscoglou introduced Mathys Tel, his new signing out of the country, starting his other, the center of half of Kevin Danso. For both, this is a welcome to the club.
Kinsky was at attention to the beginning of the second half. Liverpool still brought more intensity and the goalkeeper was great to repel a szoboszlai header from a corner. And yet the moments, when Salah played a teasing ball in the area for Núñez, it was possible to predict the disaster. Núñez will always be very fast, Kinsky will never get rid of the attempt to claim the ball. What he was holding was Núñez. Salah chose a top corner from place.
Liverpool does not feel like they have to maintain what they have. Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch both hit woodwork before Conor Bradley played in Szoboszlai with a good first-time pass. The end never doubts. Neither did Van Dijk when he got up to meet a corner. Liverpool March on.
