Nothing new: Liverpool again early in the FA Cup!

For the third consecutive year, Liverpool was eliminated in the 4th round of the FA Cup. Reds lost 2:3 from West Bromwich to Anfield and said goodbye to one of their chances to finish the season with a trophy. Early goal of Roberto Firmino gave the lead to Jurgen Klopp, but later the Brazilian missed a penalty and West Bromwich scored three goals still to the break and kept the tradition of always removing Merseysides in this tournament. This is the second consecutive disappointing result according soccer events for Liverpool after a few days ago the team retreated 0:1 to outsider Swansea in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp`s team left the FA Cup at this early stage for a third consecutive year.

West Bromwich has confirmed his rise in recent weeks and has made the most of Liverpool`s exceptionally weak defensive play.

Klopp did not want to see a repeat of last year`s failure when Liverpool was eliminated in the middle of Anfield from Utrechthampton and bet on the optimum team. Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohammed Salah were the three in the attack, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Georginio Wijnaldum and Emre Can were in the middle of the pitch, and Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip formed the central pair of defenders to Simon Mignolet.

Guest manager Alan Pardew placed Hal Robson-Kanu at the top of the attack with support on the flanks of Jay Rodriguez and Chris Brunt. The `Thrushes` also relied on a deep middle line, with Garrett Barry, Gregory Krihvov, and Jake Livermore. The start was more than good for Liverpool. Merseyside led in the 5th minute after an inexplicable mistake of Johnny Evans. The experienced defender hesitated to return the ball to Ben Foster and was overtaken by Salah. Foster defeated the Egyptian`s shot, but the ball fell into Firmino, who gave Anfield a very graceful hit. But as soon as the game resumes, West Bromwich equalized. The stolen ball in the center enabled Jay Rodriguez to advance, Van Dijk and Mattyp did not move, and the powerful strike of the striker did not give Mignolet a 1-1 chance.

In the 11th minute, guests for the second time punished Liverpool`s defensive play in defense. No one crosses Krikovich`s center on the left flank, and Rodriguez undisturbed his team ahead of the score. Liverpool`s defense was so unfocused that he allowed another goal in the 19th minute when Craig Dawson fought against Firmino in the penalty area and scored his head. Referee Craig Pusson, however, requested the intervention of the VAR system and canceled the attack due to Gareth Barry`s ambush.

In the 23rd minute Salah was detained by Livermore in the penalty area, but at first the judge did not stop the game. he had to resort to VAR again and the hosts received a penalty. Firmino hit the cross beam.

A little later, the Brazilian striker once again missed a clean position, this time after Salah`s pass. Ben Foster`s intervention was impressive, and in the second half the guard of the `thrushes` had several more. The Video Replication Technology came into effect in the added time of the first part, when West Bromwich led 3:1. There was no ambush, and in an attempt to clear the ball, Joel Mattip sent her to the door of Mignole.
