Coach, I want to play football!

Liverpool, which had lost two consecutive games in the league, naturally fell into the relegation zone.

This result is worse than the newly promoted Middlesbrough, who unexpectedly scored four points in two rounds, one draw and one win!

Another newly promoted team, Tiger City Hull City, who came up through the promotion play-offs, is even more exaggerated. They won both games this season and scored six points! !

Everyone is lamenting that the newly promoted teams are so fierce this season. Don’t try to force the newly promoted teams to compete for European qualifications, but the established giants are going to fight for relegation...

For example, Liverpool are currently at the bottom...

On the other hand, the three giants that completed coaching changes this summer were once good.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United also scored three points in the two league games in the new season, and each scored six points!

Last season's runner-up Arsenal only scored four points. They scored three points against Liverpool in the opening game, and then tied with Leicester City in this round and scored one point.

The defending champion Leicester City's results at the beginning of this season were not very good either. Without the two main players Ye Qi and Kante, the Blue Foxes scored one point in the first two rounds, which was slightly better than the Red Army Liverpool.

Of course, the season has just begun. It is too early to talk about winning the championship and relegation.

Midweek is the Carabao Cup match, and Liverpool will go to London to visit Craven Cottage Stadium to face Fulham.

Farmers Fulham have not returned in the past two seasons since they were relegated to the Championship.

Not to mention coming back, they didn't even qualify for the promotion play-offs.

Facing Fulham, whose strength is much worse than their own, and it is also a League Cup match, this can be regarded as the smallest championship in the Premier League in a season.

Except for the Community Shield, of course.

So Klopp arranged the second lineup in the away game today, which is the substitute lineup.

For example, Ocho, Leiva, Gomez, Klavan, Stewart and goalkeeper Karius all got starting opportunities.

Likewise, Ye Qi started for Liverpool for the first time today.

Ince sat on the bench a little unhappy because he didn't get a chance to start in two league games and one League Cup game.

Not to mention starting, even the time on the bench is very limited.

Everyone is paying attention to whether Ye Qi can start and whether he can be the main force. But no one has ever paid attention to me.......

Ince made his debut in Bournemouth of the Cherries and became famous in Burnley of the Red Wine.

When Burnley was in the British Championship, he scored 40 goals in 20 league games and was one of the important contributors to the team's promotion to the Premier League.

In his first season in the Premier League, he played 35 times and scored [-] goals. As a debut in the Premier League, it can barely be considered a passing grade.

After arriving in Liverpool, I thought it was a big roc that would rise up to [-] miles in one day!

As a result, he only came to the cold palace and sat on the bench.

With Ings currently at the golden age of 24 years old, there is a chance that a team going to the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League will not talk about the core, but he will have the opportunity to be the main force.

But in the old giant Liverpool, the only option is to sit through the bench.

At Craven Farm, Ye Qi was very active, but failed to score the opponent's goal.

And the cooperation between him and his teammates is even less tacit.

The main reason is that I just had a tacit understanding with Firmino, Mane and others, but today's starters are Ocho and Lallana.

I can barely cooperate with Lallana, but with Ocho...

This little guy just immersed himself in dribbling the ball forward without looking at the intensity of the opponent's defense or the movement of his teammates in the middle.

The result can be imagined.

In the 15th minute, Ye Qi received a pass from Lallana and hit the ball high.

In the 20th minute, Lallana came to the middle and gave the ball to Ocho. The young Ocho took the ball directly into a dead end and was eventually destroyed by his opponent.

In the 203rd minute, Fulham organized a counterattack, but the opponent's forward failed to pass Klavan and was intercepted.

In the 207th minute, Fulham's attack was once again resolved by Liverpool, this time Leiva made the difference.

The defensive ability of the Brazilian midfielder is still good. At least it is difficult for Fulham to create a threat.

In the 305th minute, Ocho was intercepted on the wing again, but fortunately Stewart came up and regained the ball.

Following full-back Stewart's cross from the wing, Ye Qi overpowered the opponent's central defender to head the ball, but failed to do so and the ball was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Bettinelli.

In the 309th minute, Ye Qi took the ball and was surrounded by opponents. Lallana ran in the ribs, but Ye Qi couldn't pass the ball from that position.

Then he looked in Ocho's direction, good guy. This guy runs blindly when he has the ball, and doesn't even run when he doesn't have the ball.

Fortunately, Wijnaldum came up to take over, and Ye Qi quickly passed the ball to the Dutch midfielder.

But the intention of this pass was too obvious, and the ball was successfully intercepted by the opponent's midfielder.

Even the Sky Sports commentator said that Liverpool's performance in the previous two league games was poor.

But in today's League Cup match, the Red Army's performance was disastrous!

It would be understandable if the first game was against the wealthy Arsenal.

The second game was against the new powerhouse Southampton, and it was barely possible when I was in poor condition.

But today's third game is against Fulham of the English Championship. What excuse is there?

Is it possible that we can only reluctantly say that the League Cup is a breeding ground for upsets, and it is normal to be upset by farmers?

The upset may not be close. Although Liverpool's offense can't open up the situation, Fulham's offense also doesn't pose much of a threat.

In the 40th minute, Ye Qi received a pass from Lallana and then tried a shot.

But he was blocked by the opponent's central defender.

No. 403 minutes, Ye Qi tried what coach Klopp said to switch positions with Lallana on the wing.

As a result, a pass from the wing went directly to the baseline.

Ye Qi shook his head helplessly. No matter how he kicked today, he felt weird.

It's not that Fulham's defense is too strong. In fact, compared to Arsenal and Southampton's defense, Fulham's defense should not be too easy.

But I don’t know what’s going on. Could it be that I’m in a bad state today?

The score remained at zero-[-] in the first half. Klopp asked Ye Qi to stay calm during the halftime break. He was obviously a little anxious when handling the ball several times today.

Ye Qi nodded absently.

Head coach Klopp also criticized Ocho for his blind dribbling.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Fulham actually played more conservatively than in the first half.

Perhaps seeing that Liverpool didn't perform well today, they wanted to drag the game into overtime and finally decide on a penalty kick!

It's just that it's too early to plan overtime and penalty kicks at this time.

In the 409th minute, Ye Qi had no good chance to get the ball and gave the ball to Wijnaldum behind him.

Then he inserted himself forward, originally wanting to cooperate with Wijnaldum.

As a result, Wijnaldum's pass was too far back and was not sent to the front of Ye's seven-step point.

There was no other way, Ye Qi could only turn around and retreat to get the ball, but when he got the ball again, he had no chance to shoot, so he could only give the ball to Lallana.

Lallana on the ribs tried a shot, but the force was too weak and was easily held by the opponent's goalkeeper.

In 5 minutes, Ye Qi tried a long shot in front of the top of the penalty area, but the ball...speechlessly went up to the west floor alone!

Flying directly to the west second-level stand of Craven Farm Stadium.

The head coach feels that this situation cannot continue, and the continued failure to open up the situation may eventually capsize in the gutter.

It is still necessary to score first and take the initiative.

So I was ready to make a substitution immediately.

Ye Qi and Ocho were both replaced, and Ince and Sturridge came on the bench, both of them playing at the same time!
