Wolves earned a 2-2 draw at Liverpool in the FA Cup third round but Toti’s apparent winner was disallowed for offside
as Liverpool’s best chance of a trophy this season – they trail Arsenal by 16 points in the Premier League, are out of the Carabao Cup and meet Real Madrid in the Champions League – the German can feel relieved.– about the chalked-off finish, as after viewing a replay via his own “tactical camera” at pitchside the manager was convinced there had been no infringement, the VAR apparently not having access to the same angle.
On this showing the Spaniard should fancy Wolves’ chances in the rematch as Liverpool’s shaky rearguard appears to need a close-season reboot rather than a mid-season patch-up job. Klopp offered an honest appraisal. “The whole game I don’t think we won enough challenges. They win a challenge and all of a sudden we are completely open, how can that happen?” he said. “You have to win challenges. It is something I mentioned in the dressing room.
This was Lopetegui’s fifth game managing Wolves and he was encouraged by a Rayan Aït-Nouri corner and an attack in which the same player fed Raúl Jiménez, who was thwarted only by a craftily deployed Konaté foot. And now Wolves did score via Alisson’s clanger, after the goalkeeper sloppily passed straight to the lurking Guedes to finish. Conceding in this clownish manner was emblematic of Liverpool’s uneven season in which solidity is elusive.
From there Wolves began cuffing Liverpool aside. When Jordan Henderson was passed to in came Adama Traoré like a train to take the ball and leave the captain on the turf. Moments later, Traoré hurtled down the right and fired in a low cross that Jiménez was agonisingly close to tapping in.
