🚨LIVERPOOL WIN: THEIR BEST CHANCE OF THE TITLE? STEVE NICOL REACTS!

LIVERPOOL PUT IN A STATEMENT PERFORMANCE WITH A 3–0 WIN OVER BRIGHTON TO BOOK THEIR PLACE IN THE FIFTH ROUND OF THE FA CUP — AND, FOR ONCE THIS SEASON, IT FELT LIKE A NIGHT WITH “NO REAL STRESS”. DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI SET THE TONE IN HIS POST-MATCH CHAT WITH MARK OGDEN: TWO STRAIGHT WINS, TWO CLEAN SHEETS, AND A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT TROPHIES STILL MATTER — EVEN IF THE PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE RACE IS OUT OF REACH. HE WAS BLUNT ABOUT WHAT’S “ESSENTIAL” FOR A CLUB LIKE LIVERPOOL: FINISHING IN THE TOP FOUR, WHILE STILL PUSHING HARD IN THE CUP COMPETITIONS. STEVE NICOL COULDN’T IGNORE HOW DIFFERENT THIS LOOKED FROM TOO MANY LIVERPOOL DISPLAYS THIS YEAR. HE POINTED TO TWO SHORT SPELLS OF DANGER — A FEW MINUTES BEFORE HALF-TIME AND A BRIEF PATCH IN THE SECOND HALF WHEN IT WAS 1–0 — BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, HE FELT LIVERPOOL “DOMINATED”: THEY PRESSED, CREATED, SCORED THREE, AND KEPT A CLEAN SHEET. HIS TAKE WAS SIMPLE: IF THEY CAN REPEAT THIS LEVEL UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON, THEY’LL GET CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL. ONE OF THE BIGGEST TALKING POINTS WAS THE UPTURN FROM MILOS KERKEZ. NICOL ADMITTED HE’S BEEN CRITICAL, BUT SAID THIS WAS THE VERSION LIVERPOOL THOUGHT THEY’D SIGNED: “A REAL WARRIOR” DEFENSIVELY, WELL-POSITIONED, WINNING THE BALL, AND THEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE GOING FORWARD — INCLUDING THE ASSIST FOR CURTIS JONES’ GOAL AND A NEAR-MISS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A STUNNER. LUIS GARCIA KEPT IT REAL ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SILVERWARE: THE FA CUP FEELS LIKE THE MOST REALISTIC ROUTE THIS SEASON, WHILE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WILL PUNISH ANY LAPSES IN CONSISTENCY. HIS WARNING WAS CLEAR — THE CHANCES YOU GET AWAY WITH AGAINST BRIGHTON WON’T BE FORGIVEN LATER AGAINST THE VERY BEST. THE BOTTOM LINE FROM ESPN FC: THIS WAS THE BLUEPRINT — CONTROL, PRESSURE, GOALS, AND A CLEAN SHEET. NOW THE REAL TEST IS DOING IT AGAIN… AND AGAIN. 🚨LIVERPOOL WIN: THEIR BEST CHANCE OF THE TITLE?
