Although she played against a particularly secondary staff of Aston Villa, and herself came up with an improvised composition, but the bottom line: Liverpool completed their task last night (Friday) and advanced to the next stage of the English Cup. In the first half the Aston Villa boys still managed to make it difficult for the champion, but in the second half the power gaps were already felt.

The one who squeezed the most compliments was Thiago, who came off the bench after the break and was a significant part of Liverpool’s wonderful second half. “What a change he and Shakiri made in Klopp’s game in the second half,” analyzed James Pierce, who covered the Mighty Reds for Athletic. “They turned an awkward evening into a Liverpool parade.” Michael Owen also joined the superlatives: “There is no player like Tiago in the Premier League. He makes me want football 24/7.”

“It was more challenging than it should have been, the kids did well,” Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said after the win. “In terms of football, we had problems – and now we will rest and correct in the 9 days we have left until the meeting against United. This is important. There are a lot of players who are not on pace, we will play a lot of 11 against 11.” On the game, Klopp said: “We were tidy and scored an early goal, but we didn’t play after that. In the second half we played like we should have looked from the start.”

James Milner added: “Villa’s boys are good players, there’s a reason they play there. Every time you do not notice, you are punished. They conquered and we had to lift ourselves up again. And that’s after one of their players said he did not play for two months. “Problems on offense? We’re getting to the right areas, but not accurate in the last delivery. That was the story in the last few games, it’s good that we have time to work on it. We need to get better.”

At the end of the game there was an amusing moment, when Louis Barry, the goal scorer for Aston Villa who exchanged shirts with Fabino at the end of the game, chased after the tie in the players’ tunnel and demanded his shirt back after snatching it from a team member.
