Cody Gakpo shone as soon as in opposition to on the home cup scene to assist lead Liverpool to the quarter-finals of the competitors, although the 3-2 win at Brighton was slightly nervier than we anticipated.
Liverpool’s busy schedule continued with a League Cup go to to Brighton, three days earlier than the 2 groups meet once more within the Premier League at Anfield.
Rotation was anticipated and Slot didn’t disappoint, retaining solely three gamers from the weekend and handing Vitezslav Jaros his full debut in objective.
Gakpo was one of many inclusions, and his targets proved the distinction earlier than Luis Diaz killed the sport late to seal one other quarter-final look.
Enjoying on the left wing, the Dutchman thrived and, once more, showcased his deadly placing potential that also leaves many questioning why Jurgen Klopp didn’t utilise him in his most popular place.

Gakpo’s directness & willingness to beat his man means his two targets are totally deserved tonight. Fairly the distinction to the place he discovered himself on the again finish of final season as he was criticised for slowing down play within the last third. What a begin he’s made underneath Arne Slot.

A bit nervy, however one other win within the books…
Wasn’t anticipating 5 second half targets, in any respect.
A win, some minutes for people who want them, all good.
Up the Reds.

Not an evening that may dwell lengthy within the reminiscence however Arne Slot will probably be delighted that Liverpool obtained the job finished with a much-changed group up in opposition to harmful opposition. 12 wins, one draw and one defeat is a few report, by the best way.

That’ll do Reds. Three nice strikes and we’re within the Qtr Finals once more. Powerful take a look at for Quansah this season. Hope his head does not go down, he is a top quality centre-back for my part.

The beginning as an entire has clearly been immense however the away kind is especially spectacular. 7W 1D up to now together with journeys various stadiums now we have struggled at in current occasions, and a few robust European aways. Now simply repair Forest at residence and we’ll be sound.

Good win that. Chelsea was the beginning of our onerous fixtures, we beat them. Beat Leipzig in Leipzig, drew with the snow flakes on the Emirates & a good victory away to Brighton. I might have taken that earlier than the Chelsea sport should you supplied me it, who would not.

Solely Liverpool might be cruising twice and make it nervy.
Into the hat although.
Joey G man of the match for me. Skilled defending from the England man.

All in all, we can not complain an excessive amount of about that match. It was slightly nervier than any of us would have preferred in the long run, however we’re within the hat for the subsequent spherical.
We’ll see Brighton once more on Saturday however with each groups making eight modifications on Wednesday, it will likely be a completely completely different prospect.
Twelve wins from the primary 14 underneath Slot. Not unhealthy, eh!
