The whole of Klopp falls to Chelsea in the round of 16 of the FA Cup and fits his second consecutive defeat after the one suffered in the Premier against Watford.
Marcos Alonso congratulates Kepa after eliminating Liverpool in the FA Cup.
You can not talk about crisis because the Cup has never been its goal and because they are still the best in England, but the Liverpool is in full recession and defeat against Chelsea in the round of the FA Cup (2-0), led by a great Kepa, increases the doubts of reds eight days after receiving the Atletico de Madrid.
With an eleven with enough substitutes and only some headline like Sadio Man, Virgil Van Dijk and Andy Robertson, Liverpool could not throw the wall of a Kepa Arrizabalaga that completed a great performance, augmented by the many of Willian and Ross Barkley.
Return Kepa to the Stamford Bridge goalkeeper. Six games later, since January 21, the Spaniard was placed under the sticks. And he did it with great success. He had all the pressure, facing one of the best teams, if not the best, in Europe and Kepa claimed from the first minutes. He took a good hand at a shot from Man and lifted all over Stamford Bridge with a triple anthological stop.
That lucid moment made all the waiting and all the substitutions valid. If the plan Lampard It was giving it a touch of attention had worked. I also decorated it with another intervention shot by Man before the break. Five stops in the first part that contrasted with the problems of his countryman in the other goalkeeper. Adrin San Miguel It started well, with a stop at Willian, but a few seconds later he got into a lo.
Fall to Van Dijk
Or I got him better Fabinho. The Brazilian lost the ball at the exit of the ball in the crown of the area. Barkley took it down, left it to Willian and it connected a shot at mid-height, strong, but focused, that Adrin was unable to clear. At Liverpool, as in his last three games, things are barely salty, and only the crossbar saved them from getting 2-0 down in a lack of Mason Mount from the front.
In this misfortune in which those of Klopp have fallen, not even Van Dijk is reliable and the Dutch opened the way of the second of Chelsea. He made a mistake in a split ball in his own field and handed it to Barkley. The English half shot out, ran halfway through the field, chased by a slow Fabinho, and took a dry shot from the front to which nothing Adrin could do.
Liverpool was left wanting, I got Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah to try to scratch something, but he could leave with a 3-0, if Adrin had not taken a spectacular mitt so that a hand to hand of Giroud it will crash on the crossbar.
Chelsea joins Arsenal as classified for the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, while Liverpool is out of a competition that from the beginning does not interest him, but now, eight days after attempting the comeback against the Atletico , it hurts him again.
