Decision puts Carabao Cup final qualification in jeopardy

The adversity continues for the Reds this season, where they will go on to do great things

Kopp serious about the Carabao Cup

On Merseyside, the team's approach to each and every competition remains the same, so nothing is taken for granted, nothing is lost and nothing is taken for granted, and they work hard every day. Despite this, the adversity for the Reds seems to be chronic, as this season has been full of big surprises for the Reds.

The Reds' next game is on Sunday 21 January when they visit Bournemouth, and then continue with the Carabao Cup semi-final, where the Reds will have their second consecutive visit to Craven Cottage against Fulham, in a game where although Liverpool have a slight advantage over the Cottagers, this should not give the players overconfidence, and they must remain focused on winning.

This brings bad news for the Reds, as the referees for the game on 24 January have been announced, with Simon Hooper, who will be the central referee, standing out. This is undoubtedly bad news for the Reds given Hooper's poor record in refereeing Reds matches, where there seems to be a certain inclination to be against Jürgen Klopp's side.

In addition to Simon Hooper, his team will be confirmed by Adrian Holmes and Simon Long as assistant referees, while the 4th referee will be Tony Harrington. While your team doesn't look too bad. While his team doesn't look too bad, the fact that Hooper is the central referee may end up affecting the outcome of the game with a lousy decision as he has done in the past.

Hooper's record this season for the Reds

During the first half of this season, the Reds have had two games in which Simon Hooper has been the centre referee, the last being on December 6 when the Reds beat Sheffield United by sight without much trouble. The first game this season for the Reds under Hooper was a disaster, as it was the Reds' only Premier League defeat so far against Tottenham, where Hooper disallowed a clear goal-scoring chance for the Reds when Mohamed Salah slipped a pass to Luis Diaz who was all alone against the Spurs goalkeeper. However, the play was disallowed for offside, and Hooper showed Curtis Jones and then Diogo Jota the red card.
