"Arne Slot's side struck twice in quick succession in the second half through Andrew Robertson's long-range rocket and a predatory Mohamed Salah finish. Curtis Jones wrapped up a much-needed fifth round victory for Liverpool after their embarrassing 2-1 defeat against the Premier League's bottom club three days earlier."
"Branded "slow and predictable" by furious captain Virgil van Dijk following that calamity, Liverpool set the record straight on their return to the West Midlands. Despite spending £450 million ($599 million) on new signings in the close season, Liverpool have mounted a woeful title defence, leaving the FA Cup and the Champions League as their last chances for silverware."
"Languishing in sixth place in the Premier League -- 19 points behind leaders Arsenal -- Slot needs to deliver a trophy to ease the mounting pressure in his turbulent second season at Anfield. Liverpool remain in contention for a ninth FA Cup triumph, and a first since 2022, while they step up their Champions League challenge with a last 16 first leg trip to Galatasaray on Tuesday."
Liverpool advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory over Wolves, reversing their embarrassing 2-1 defeat at Molineux from 72 hours prior. Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah scored in quick succession during the second half, with Curtis Jones adding a third goal. Hwang Hee-chan's late goal provided minimal consolation for Wolves. Following captain Virgil van Dijk's criticism of the team as "slow and predictable" after the previous loss, Liverpool responded decisively. Manager Arne Slot made four defensive changes for the rematch. With Liverpool languishing in sixth place, 19 points behind Arsenal, the FA Cup and Champions League represent their remaining opportunities for silverware this season.
