Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool
Has Liverpool lost a truck like Manchester City? Liverpool did not play well in the last two matches. Manchester United was not in good form. Even then, Liverpool failed to win the Premier League home match. The match was drawn 2-2.
The semi-final of the EFL Cup was quite important for Liverpool. The opponent was Tottenham, a renowned team. This is true. However, in the last few matches, we have seen Tottenham's weak and irregular performance. I expected Liverpool to win this match. However, Tottenham won the match by a margin of 1-0. Liverpool's players played well. They created many attacking opportunities. But the attacking players completely failed to break Tottenham's defense. As a result, despite 7 on target shots, Liverpool's players could not score a single goal.
It was quite surprising that Liverpool lost to Tottenham in this match. In fact, if we look at the previous meeting, Liverpool was able to beat Tottenham with a very crushing score, namely 6-3. But in this match Liverpool had a little difficulty getting good shooting space. Because even though the Liverpool players in this match created many opportunities and fired many kicks at Tottenham's goal. But as we know, everything failed and nothing resulted in a goal at all. I also don't understand why Liverpool players play badly like this, especially the front line players. Even though in this match I saw that the Liverpool players were all in good shape and had a complete composition of players. So if you look at this, Liverpool should be able to score more goals in this match. But in reality, in this match Liverpool couldn't score a goal.
Luckily, this is only the first leg, so Liverpool still has a big chance of turning things around in the second leg. I also don't understand that in this league cup semi-final match, the teams that were highly favored actually lost. For example, Arsenal also lost to Newcastle in the first leg. So whether this is a coincidence or Liverpool and Arsenal are currently experiencing a decline in performance. But the point is we cannot conclude that Liverpool or Arsenal will fail to reach the final round at this time. Because the match is not over yet, therefore I really can't wait to see the second leg match in the semi-finals of this league cup.
