Despite the win, these players will not play for Liverpool again, Firmino trembles

After Liverpool secured a hard-fought 3-2 penalty shootout win over the Rams, several of the players who were involved in this round of the Carabo Cup round of 32 appear to be no longer needed from now on, as Jurgen Klopp is likely to start using first-team players to finish the series and not risk their participation as much as he did on Wednesday night where everything was decided from the penalty spot.

Although the list of players that Klopp will no longer contemplate for the future will surely be led by a large number of promising young players, there are some like Stefan Bajcetic who are likely to continue, leaving on the way to teammates like defender Nathaniel Phillips or goalkeeper Adrian San Miguel del Castillo, as more complete elements like Caoimhin Kelleher demonstrated especially from the eleven penalty kicks why they were considered for the starting line-up.

In the case of defender Nathaniel, given his age and footballing conditions, it is very unlikely that he will not continue to be considered for future call-ups in the EFL Cup, because if both aspects are weighed up, Jurgen Klopp will opt a thousand times for having Ibrahima Konate or Virgil van Dijk in the centre of defence, further securing that sector which suffered a lot during the 90 minutes against the Rams.

In terms of the changes that Jurgen Klopp made to try to take the series out of the 90 minutes, it was striker Roberto Firmino who was the most unsatisfactory, as in addition to not getting into the game and not generating any important dangerous play, this attacking element missed his spot-kick and thus erased the advantage he already had after the two missed penalties from the opponent.

<strong>Phillips and Adrian will have little to do</strong>

The only way Firmino would no longer be called up for this type of match is based on a possible injury, but it is certain that if his team continues to advance in the rounds and the title is getting closer and closer, perhaps his starting place will be compromised, beating his teammate Darwin Núñez who was able to be decisive in his minutes of play and scored his penalty that meant the 2-2 momentary score.
