Reds fans who came to Anfield to watch the FA Cup rematch between Liverpool and Reading left the pitch disappointed.

They don't know what happened to the team, maybe it's really because after the absence of big-name stars, the team's combat effectiveness will plummet.

Qin Xiong, Gerrard, Torres and others, who watched the live TV broadcast of the game at home, did not have much emotion.

As players, they are better able to understand the physical and mental pressures that come with playing on multiple fronts.

They don't avoid war, they just admit reality.

The next day, the major newspapers on Fleet Street published the shocking results of Liverpool's elimination by Reading.

"Once again, Koeman's purpose for abandoning the home cup competition is clear!"

The Times headlined the FA Cup tie with Liverpool's exit.

"Obviously, Liverpool does not intend to make a difference in this season's home cup competition, the FA Cup is the same story as the League Cup, if the League Cup was eliminated in the first game was a gamble failure for Koeman, then the FA Cup under the premise of a replay Coman still did not send any star who has the ability to decide the game, his idea is already known, that is, Liverpool will focus on the league and the Champions League, the home cup? Whether it's a lack of attraction or not, they're out of the game and people will forget about it after a while, but Koeman has also cut off his own way and if he can't lead Liverpool to the league or Champions League title after voluntarily abandoning the home cup competition, then he won't be able to give every Reds fan and management a reasonable explanation.

Remember his inaugural speech?

If he can't lead the team to the championship this season, he will resign voluntarily.

Good luck to Koeman! ”

The Guardian, The Star. "442" has slammed Koeman's lack of attention to the local cup competition. Only Liverpool's local newspaper The Echo thinks Koeman is right to do so!

Tony Barrett wrote in his column: "Liverpool need champions! But it's not the FA Cup. League Cup winners, they need more weighty titles to regain their former status and influence!

In a sense, the league title is even more important to Liverpool than the Champions League! It was Koeman's shrewd move to abandon the League Cup and FA Cup, as Liverpool took the initiative to cut off the baggage, while their rivals had to fight on the third line in the coming days, which is undoubtedly good news for Liverpool, who have already established a big lead in the league......

The positive news is indeed as Tony Barrett has said, with Liverpool able to focus on the league and the Champions League. Before the start of the Champions League, Liverpool would only play once a week in the league for more than a month.

On January 16, the 22nd round of the English Premier League began, Liverpool's main team went to the home of Stoke City, and with the goals of Alonso and Gerrard, Liverpool won the opponent 2:0 away.

Chelsea, who came on a late game, played their wildest score at Stamford Bridge in almost 21 years.

Chelsea 7:2 bloodbath Sunderland!

The last time Chelsea were able to score seven goals in a league was 21 years ago!

The Red Devils avenged the humiliation of being beaten by Burnley in the first half of the season with a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.

The next day, Arsenal beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 at Reebok Stadium.

The BIG4 Group won all of them in this round!

Leaders Liverpool are still six points ahead of Manchester United and eight ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal!

A week later, in the 23rd round of the Premier League. Manchester United opened the game at Old Trafford and have been in good form recently with a 4-0 thrashing of Hull City.

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool won the game 2:0 in the away game against Wolves with Qin Xiong's brace.

Chelsea continue their campaign at Stamford Bridge. 3-0 win over Birmingham.

Arsenal have faced a tough battle at Villa Park.

After 90 minutes, the two teams drew 0-0.

After the 23rd round of the league has come to an end, Arsenal still occupies fourth place in the standings, but the gap with leaders Liverpool has been extended to 10 points!

Apparently the arsenal has a tendency to fall behind!

On January 30, the last Premier League match of the first month of the new year arrived.

Liverpool returned to Anfield, with Torres, Gerrard, Qin Xiong, and Kuyt's attacking group coming into full swing and scoring a goal each to send Bolton off with a score of 4-0.

Chelsea won 2-1 at Burnley.

At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal take on old rivals Manchester United in the highlight of the league round, with Liverpool's players gathering to watch the game live on television.

With goals from Wayne Rooney and Park Ji-sung, as well as an own goal from Almunia, Manchester United walked away with a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium!

As a result, Arsenal is already 13 points behind Liverpool after losing in this round!

Manchester United continue to trail Liverpool by six points and Chelsea by eight points.

Entering February after this round, Fleet Street did not focus on Liverpool's expansion of advantage and Arsenal's drop, and a scandal detonated English football!

Terry was exposed to the "Friend Wife's Gate" incident!

Terry's sex scandal was shaken up by The Guardian, The Sun, News of the World and many other British media.

The world-famous "Friends Wife" incident was first exposed by The Sun, saying that England's current captain John Terry had an affair with his French model girlfriend Vanessa, a teammate of the national team and former teammate of the club, Bridge, and then many hidden secrets behind the incident were exposed one by one.

It is reported that a few weeks after Terry had an affair with Vanessa, the latter became pregnant, and in order to cover up the truth, Terry paid for Vanessa's abortion and gave her 20,000 pounds as compensation.

In addition to cheating with Vanessa, Terry's other peachy incidents have also been exposed. In addition, the woman was also revealed to be linked to many Chelsea stars.

After the "Friends of Wife" incident was exposed, due to his special status as the captain of the England national team, he attracted many media accusations and ordered him to hand over the captain's armband of the England national team.

Due to the huge impact of this incident, on February 4, 2010, England manager Fabio Capello flew back to England and summoned John Terry for an interview.

However, the development of this peach incident obviously exceeded Capello's expectations, and because the media continued to break more fierce news, the Italians had to reluctantly cut their love under heavy pressure.

John Terry also spoke after learning he had been stripped of the captain's armband: "I fully respect Capello's decision and I will continue to give everything I have for England. ”

Although Chelsea has been bombarded by the media due to the captain's scandal, Ancelotti and Abou have strongly supported Terry's position, treating this scandal as a matter of Terry's private life, which has nothing to do with competition! (To be continued.) )
