After disastrous draw against Wolverhampton, Gerrard's arrival at Liverpool confirmed, surprise for Klopp

Liverpool are struggling to get back on their feet. The Reds drew at Anfield against Wolverhampton (2-2) in the third round of the FA Cup and will have to play the replay at Molineux Ground against Julen Lopetegui's side. The Spaniard's side were better than Pool, who once again struggled defensively. Van Dijk's absence will be an even bigger burden for Real Madrid's opponents in the last 16 of the Champions League.

It all started to go wrong when Alisson made a rude mistake. He gave a pass that was intercepted by Guedes to make it 0-1. A goal from which Klopp's side recovered with Darwin Núñez's equaliser. Alexander-Arnold set up the Uruguayan, who made no mistake to break his drought. Salah turned it around in the second half but Hee-Chan equalised.

Toti levelled on the stroke of half-time, but the VAR disallowed the goal for offside to Lopetegui's despair. After losing 3-1 to Brentford, the FA Cup was not a balm for the Reds. The thrilling encounter started with a mistake by goalkeeper Becker, who miskicked and mistakenly gave the ball to Gonçalo Guedes, who only had to push the ball into the net for the 0-1, and that put all of Anfield on its head for a tremendous mistake. Jimenez was brought down in the box, the ball came to the keeper, and he promptly made his blunder.

Liverpool, however, resumed their customary football and goalscoring form, and it was enough to see the equaliser courtesy of Darwin Nunez, who took advantage of a long counter-attacking pass to tap the ball past the keeper for a 1-1 draw in the first half. The game had been notable for its action and especially because there was too much quality on the pitch. Just two or three touches were enough to generate danger. And so Liverpool's 2-1 lead was created by Salah, who took advantage of a cross that had been deflected in by defender Tote Gomez.

<strong>Gerrard could be manager</strong>

Finally, Hwang Hee-Chan played a one-two with Matheus Cunha and inside the box he struck a first-time finish. And although he had some complicity from Alisson, who once again hesitated to save the shot, the score changed to 2-2. Liverpool should consider hiring Steven Gerrard as sporting director. He has a track record for good talent identification while at Rangers, attracted big names like Coutinho to Villa and Paolo Maldini has similarly been successful in the role at Milan, Ben Bocsak reported.
