Despite dominating the game, Liverpool are struggling to beat Norwich City

Liverpool have a double mission this Sunday. The first is, obviously, to beat Norwich City at Anfield Road and advance to the FA Cup Round of 16. The second is much less usual and is related to Jurgen Klopp. This week the coach announced that he will not continue at the club after the end of this season, ending a successful 9-year spell. This was a blow to the players' morale and they must now prove that this did not affect their performances on the pitch.

The good news for them is that they are facing an opponent that has a quality far inferior to their own. The Canaries are not only in the Championship, the second division of English soccer, but they are not having a great performance there: they are in ninth place in the standings, 25 points behind leaders Leicester City.

From the start of the match The Reds had control of the ball and dominated the field, pushing their opponents close to their own box and creating several chances to score. Darwin Nunez was the protagonist in the first minutes with a shot that hit the post, while the opener came after 16 minutes: James McConnell assisted Curtis Jones, who netted with a header inside the box.

Everything seemed to be going perfectly for the hosts, but unexpectedly the visitors struck the blow moments later, when Ben Gibson scored the leveller after a corner kick from the right sector. However, Norwich City's joy was short-lived, as after 28 minutes Darwin Nuñez received a pass from Conor Bradley and inside the box scored the second goal with a strong right-footed shot.

What will the coach do?

Jurgen Klopp may be faced with a dilemma in the second half. On the one hand, the score is very close and he will want to secure the victory. But at the same time he will probably intend to replace some of the players to give them a rest, considering that in just three days Liverpool will face Chelsea in the Premier League.
