Liverpool dreams of a historic high height demolished in the most uninamined way on Sunday afternoon, while side Arne slot crashed from Fa cup In the hands of Plymouth Argyle.
The team that raised the bottom of the championship table was more than the well -deserved winners in the Home Park, and the decisive blow that caused the coldly performed punishment of Ryan Hardie after Harvey Elliott was punished for fooling his hands in the air.
Hardie could double the lead, but instead he hit the post Caoimhin Kelleher, and there was no real siege of Plymouth at any stage, because they have long changed the Premier League leaders, who have not even taken Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister and many other prominent players down in the southwest, created next to nothing.
It was a very straight, lethargic screen from Liverpoolwho looked devoid of the idea against the team competing for each ball and implemented the definition of the dictionary “Solving socks”.
The Liverpool season will not be defined by this defeat, far from that, but three players should definitely be afraid of the slot, remembering how bad they were on the eve of the expected shaking of the staff in the summer.
When you want to establish in a new environment, you need to take every opportunity that offers you. But for Federico Chies, this was a horror-show performance that would do a little to improve his chances of making more minutes under the slot.
The Italian is not a player as he was a few years ago, due to the catalog of injuries problems, but he did not even look like an international player here, let alone the one who lit the Euro 2020 just under four years ago.
Chiesa showed no spark, no creativity and no calm because Liverpool eventually put the ball into the penalty area, wanting to break Plymouth’s determination. Luis Diaz was not much better on the opposite side, but Chiesa really didn’t offer anything.
Rumors have increased that Diogo Jota will be allowed to leave Liverpool in the summer if a suitable offer is received – if it is played this regularly and the offers will be accepted quickly.
Jota was very good at stretching defense for many years, but you think his injuries have forced him to adjust his game, instead of getting to receive the ball and relying on his ability in tight spaces. This burst of tempo does not seem to be no longer.
Plymouth marked the 28-year-old very well, winning most of the duels in the air, but did nothing from the ordinary movement. It was tiring, predictable and gave the ball a funny amount of road – 11 to be precise.
Completion of 39% of passing does not really reduce it on any football level and will certainly not do for the best team in the country.
Harvey Elliott was very loud in his desire to stay in Liverpool and launch more games of the first team, feeling that he has all the tools needed to contribute from the middle of the field.
In order to do this, the 21-year-old must intensify in the Cup games and show his skills. Take these neck matches, knowing that he plays with some inexperienced teammates and proves that the slot is that there is a life outside Mac Allisters, Ryan Gravenberch and Co. The way of passengers is not an option.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Elliott was here. The expected goals of 0.02 and the expected assistance of 0.04 show how little he did in the last third, and also acknowledged the punishment that changed the game by scoring his hands above his head for unknown reasons.
