Liverpool is in a sturdy 12 -point league lead.
The Reds have long been considered a bomb -proof championship champion.
On Sunday, however, the team lost to Newcastle of the League Cup, which was clearly more active and energetic on Wembley’s grass.
Earlier this week, PSG dropped it from the Champions League.
Suddenly, the league championship is the only one on offer for the crew of Arne Slot. But can it even be in danger?
Liverpool was tired by eyes. Mo Salah wandered completely at night in the Newcastle defense area, and the performance of Captain Virgil van Dijk is not worth praising.
The Dutchman allowed Dan Burn to push the opening goal completely freely. Sure, the pattern was designed and Kieran Trippier’s passport hit a newly calculated location, but there would not have been so much space in the Liverpool ranking area before.
Burn is a great hero because the life-long Newcastle fan came to St James’ Park for the last years of his career. On Sunday, he celebrated the end of the 70-year curse on Wembley Nurmi.
Newcastle’s previous domestic jug came just in the spring of 1955. After that, it had only managed to win the Cup of the already dumped fair in 1969.
The disappointment tube started to nod right at the start of the second episode, when Alexander Isak finished straight from the feed in Newcastle’s winning goal.
This is, of course, a big victory for the whole northeastern English, But of course, it was followed with interest in Northern London.
Earlier on Sunday, Arsenal fell 1-0 at home at home. Although the point of point in the league’s top is still considerable, It is now an undeniable fact of Liverpool.
Slot tried to turn the defeat in the other direction by changing Darwin Núñez, Curtis Jones, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott.
Liverpool’s Kiri started far too late, as Chiesa only got the ball with the referee’s extra time.
The Reds, which have won the victory, now suffered two goals in one week.
PSG won anfield 1-0 and Newcastle Wembley 2-1.
Losses are now also burdened with Liverpool’s spiritual edge.
In just over a couple of weeks, there is always an interesting local game against Everton.
There is no need to be any Nostradamus of the football world to predict that it will not be an easy profit for Liverpool either.
