So, Liverpool made it through to the semifinals of the Carabao Cup after a tough match against Southampton. The vibes around the team have been pretty good this season, even though they’ve lost a bit of that early momentum. But with Arne Slot taking over after Klopp left, they’ve been looking solid. The game had some tense moments, but Darwin Núñez scored early to give Liverpool the lead, then Harvey Elliott extended it. Southampton didn’t give up though, and Cameron Archer pulled one back, but Liverpool held on to win 2-1. I think they have a real shot at the title this season, anyone else think so?
Liverpool has been great this season, but I feel like they’ve been a bit inconsistent. Still, they’ve got what it takes to win the Carabao Cup.

I agree, they’ve been a bit up and down, but Slot’s doing a good job considering the circumstances. Let’s see how they handle the pressure.
That early goal by Núñez was key. Southampton put up a fight, but Liverpool’s quality showed through. I’m confident they’ll make it to the final.

True! Núñez always seems to show up in big moments. I’m rooting for Liverpool to take the Cup this year.
Anyone else feel like Southampton gave Liverpool too much space in the first half? That second goal from Elliott was almost too easy.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Southampton definitely let their guard down a bit. I guess it’s hard to contain Liverpool for long periods.

Honestly, I thought they’d put up more of a fight after Archer scored. But Liverpool’s defense held strong. Can’t let their guard down in the next rounds.
Did anyone else notice how well Liverpool kept their composure even after Southampton scored? That could’ve easily turned into a different game.

For sure! They didn’t panic, which is something I love about this team. They’re playing with more maturity now.
Honestly, I didn’t expect them to make it this far after Klopp left, but Slot has been a solid replacement. Think they can go all the way?

Definitely. Slot’s got the experience, and with players like Núñez and Elliott, they have everything they need to win the cup.
