The hapless way Liverpool gave up each of Wolves’s goals might have been taken from a West End farce. Alisson was the culprit for the gift that was Gon\u00e7alo Guedes’s opener, Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 the man in the frame for the Hwang Hee-chan strike that takes this tie into a replay.<\/p>\n

Towards the end there was even a third comedy of errors when a Liverpool goalmouth scramble after a corner led to Toti putting the ball in the net but the goal was ruled \u2013 amid confusion \u2013 offside. It emerged later that the assistant had flagged the corner-taker, Matheus Nunes, after the ball had been returned to him.<\/p>\n

So it was that J\u00fcrgen Klopp’s men escaped. Seeing as he should rate the FA Cup as Liverpool’s best chance of a trophy this season \u2013 they trail Arsenal by 16 points in the Premier League, are out of the Carabao Cup and meet Real Madrid in the Champions League \u2013 the German can feel relieved.<\/p>\n

Wolves, though, ended understandably furious \u2013 Julen Lopetegui was booked for his complaints \u2013 about the chalked-off finish, as after viewing a replay via his own \u201ctactical camera\u201d at pitchside the manager was convinced there had been no infringement, the VAR apparently not having access to the same angle.<\/p>\n

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. \u201cThe 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?\u201d he said. \u201cYou have to win challenges. It is something I mentioned in the dressing room. Next team is Brighton, if you don’t defend properly there, there is no point going.\u201d<\/p>\n
