1087 No capital to fight on the third front

Stepping into 2010, Liverpool's first official game, Koeman did not send any main players, even the goalkeeper was rotated, Qin Xiong, Torres, Alonso, Gerrard did not appear at all In the squad for the third round of the FA Cup.

On January 1, at the New Industrial Stadium, Koeman sat on the coach's bench and sank like water. It is well known that Liverpool's substitute lineup is too different from the main lineup.

But facing low-level league opponents, the scene was a mess, which still made Koeman feel angry but had nowhere to vent.

Reading drew Liverpool 1:1 at home. In fact, if Reading hadn't missed a great opportunity, Liverpool might have lost at the New Industry Stadium today.

The impact of this game on Koeman is that he really realized that Liverpool's future construction will not only strengthen the main lineup, but also strengthen the construction of the substitute lineup.

At the beginning of this season, the substitute lineup playing in the League Cup can be used as an excuse that they have not yet entered the state, but after half a season, there is indeed no substitute lineup with much actual combat experience, but there is still no qualitative change. While Koeman felt very disappointed, he also realized that the problem with the thickness of Liverpool's bench was actually more serious than imagined.

He must take more careful care of the main lineup!

Otherwise, the almost hopeless substitute lineup may ruin all Liverpool's efforts so far in future battles.

Liverpool have been criticized by Fleet Street, which is obviously related to Liverpool's "negative" attitude towards the FA Cup.

The fans were also a little disappointed, but Koeman could only stick to his position under pressure.

The main lineup must be fully rested in due course.

After about ten days of fatigue relief, Liverpool's elite soldiers will be ready to go to the 21st round of the Premier League with full energy and strong fighting spirit.

This league will be the final game for Liverpool, and the game against Tottenham will be the focus of this round.

Arsenal, who made their debut, were tied 2:2 by Everton at the Emirates Stadium!

The next appearance was Manchester United, who went to Birmingham in an away game. The result of the game was also a draw, 1:1.

Chelsea, who played before Liverpool, went to Hull City's home court, after 90 minutes.In the embarrassing situation where no one is available, Chelsea can only unfortunately get a draw, and the score is also 1:1.

When the final game of this round comes, the Red Army fans are excited!

The other three direct competitors in BIG4 all lost 2 points in this round!

This means that as long as Liverpool defeats Tottenham, it will be able to further expand its lead, and it will expand to the three competitors at the same time!

After ample rest, Liverpool and Tottenham started a fierce battle at Anfield!

In the 78th minute of the game, Qin Xiong scored his second goal of the game.The score on the scoreboard became 4:1.

The cheers at Anfield went straight to the sky, and the commentator Martin shouted excitedly: "Qin Xiong sealed the victory for Liverpool! In this round, Manchester United is a draw, Chelsea is a draw, and Arsenal is a draw! Liverpool can win a game Victory, and it was won by Tottenham, who is ranked fifth in the league!

Liverpool will expand their lead in this round!

Although the league has just passed halfway.But the increasingly strong Liverpool is moving towards their first Premier League title! "

At the end of the game, cheers erupted from Anfield shook all directions, and the team anthem echoed in the stadium for a long time. Liverpool players hugged each other, clapped their hands and roared, celebrating their further consolidation of their leading advantage.

After 21 rounds, Liverpool lead Manchester United by 6 points.Leading Chelsea and Arsenal are both 8 points!

Qin Xiong took his jersey to the fans in the stands before leaving the field, and almost all the nearby fans said similar words to him in a pleading tone.

"Keep playing like this, don't give Manchester United, Chelsea any chance!"

It seems that none of the Reds fans think Arsenal are a title threat.

Qin Xiong continued to nod to the fans brimming with pride.He also hopes that everyone can maintain this momentum and never give the chaser any chance.

Fleet Street congratulated Liverpool on their eighth consecutive league win, while looking ahead to an FA Cup third-round replay that Liverpool could make it through with ease.

"With a huge advantage of 26 points ahead of No. [-], Liverpool can dispatch enough power to beat Reading in the FA Cup!"

But the fact is that when the FA Cup rematch in the middle of the week came, the starting lineup sent by Koeman was exactly the same as the lineup at the New Industry Stadium in the previous round!

Even the substitute list is the same!

Most of the main players have not entered the squad, and those who should rest should rest.

Koeman told himself that he would never make an ugly mistake again.

England's home cup, resign to fate!

In fact, the Liverpool coaching staff was puzzled at first.After all, it is the FA Cup, not the League Cup.

Koeman's explanation is: In the league and the Champions League, we cannot implement rotation.Even the rotation of individual main players can't be done!

There is only one qualified substitute for the two central defenders, after the full-back Johnson was injured.Degen's appearance performance is not satisfactory.

Does Aurelio have a substitute?

Mascherano is still down, Lucas can be used in rotation.

But does Alonso have a replacement?Gerald?Qin Xiong?Torres?

Liverpool is going to do their best to play in the league and the Champions League, so the consumption of the main lineup will be greater than other teams!

When other teams can make local adjustments according to the progress of the game and the strength of the opponent, can Liverpool do the same?

Anyway, Coman didn't dare to take the risk!

Because of this, he can no longer let the main players consume physical energy in the local cup.

You must know that if you continue to play like this, if the FA Cup passes, it will be the fourth round, the fifth round, the quarter-finals, and the semi-finals. Go to war.

How can Liverpool have the capital to bear the huge pressure and consumption brought about by the third-line battle?

The Liverpool coaching staff was persuaded by Koeman after listening to his explanation.

At Anfield, the substitute lineup played against Reading. From the New Industrial Stadium to Anfield Stadium, Liverpool's substitute lineup did not perform better, but made the same mistakes at home.

After 90 minutes, the score was 1:1.

The game went into overtime.

After 120 minutes, the score is still 1:1.

The game dragged into a brutal penalty shootout.

At this time, Liverpool, who were playing at home, was even more stressed. Coupled with the huge mental pressure brought about by their inability to win their opponents, Liverpool's penalty shootout was abnormal.

Only one of the five penalty kicks was scored, while Reading made two of the four free throws. They eliminated Liverpool at Anfield and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup! (to be continued~^~)
