Was there a need to suspend the game? Incredible weather for the match versus Bournemouth
When Liverpool traveled to the Vitality Stadium, the match was challenging.
Liverpool faced tough weather conditions on Wednesday, which even led some to believe that the match should be canceled due to unfavorable conditions, making it difficult for them to play their best football on the field when they traveled to the Vitality Stadium to play Bournemouth in the League Cup fourth round.
In this competition, the Reds went to the Cherries with the intention of moving on to the following round, where they also hope to compete for the championship. However, it is evident that German coach Jurgen Klopp does not consider it a top priority, as evidenced by the alternate lineup he sent out, which included numerous players who have played little, such Irish goalkeeper Caohim Kelleher, Joe Gomez, and young defender Jarrel Quansah.
The first goal of the game was scored by Dutch striker Cody Gakpo in the 31st minute of the first half. Gakpo took advantage of a rebound inside the box following a corner kick, where midfielder Harvey Elliot managed to get in a strong long-range shot that the goalkeeper for the home team could not hold. The Dutchman has now scored four goals this season.
weather circumstances
Journalist Ian Doyle reported from the stadium that things are rapidly becoming worse. It’s getting windier and much wetter. There’s nothing going on in the game, incidentally. Wind gusts caused the ball to move out of position multiple times during the game, drastically altering the dynamics and giving referee John Brooks the option to halt or pause play.
