As disappointing as Liverpool’s season has been on the women’s side, with the Reds currently in last place in the Women’s Super League and in a battle with West Ham to avoid being the lone side relegated from the top flight this season, there has been some solace in the domestic cups. Following a commendable quarter final run in the League Cup, they entered the FA Cup over the past weekend with a game against London’s Bees of the National League North—the third tier of the women’s game. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the level of the opponent, it ended in a big 6-0 victory. “Very pleased,” was manager Gareth Taylor’s reaction. “I think it was a decent performance from the girls. We were never really sure with how they would come in terms of set-up, but they went low block quite early in the game. That can make it difficult but scoring early on really helped us. “We created some good opportunities and made some changes in the second half. We didn’t lose the level really. I’m pleased for the players who got an opportunity and pleased for the new players too. Martha Thomas scoring a goal I think is really important for her and she did really well.” It was an impactful debut match for new signing Thomas, who in the end scored the second and third goals for the Reds, as well as for fellow new signing Denise O’Sullivan who scored the game’s opener. Now, the question will be whether that can carry back over into Super League action. “We’ve still got a little bit of work to do,” Taylor added. “You know in the WSL when there’s 10 games left, before you know it you’re down to real low figures and still a bit of work to do. I think [the transfers] help and that’s what we were looking to do. I think that was needed last summer.” If the new signings are to be the difference Liverpool Women need to salvage their season and survive in the top flight, they will have to prove that now they’re able to beat more than just lower league opponents in the cups, with Tottenham up next and then a trip to face Manchester United.

All Time Low are playing the biggest UK venues of their career this week.

Normally, going 12 matches without defeat would be cause for celebration. For a Liverpool side that came into the season expecting to mount a Premier League title defence, though, a preponderance of draws as well as some rather sub-par performances take much of the shine off. In isolation, grinding out results here and there is hardly a bad thing. In the context of a season past its half-way mark where grinding out results has been as good as it gets, dropped points in a draw at Anfield against a side firmly in the relegation places isn’t going to be seen as a positive. “It’s very frustrating,” standout Liverpool goal scorer Florian Wirtz said of the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Burnley. “I think we had a lot of chances—enough chances to decide the game early. We missed that today. So, very disappointing. A few times we could decide a little bit better. “I felt that we were really good in the game from the first half on—we played a good game. I think even when they scored the equaliser we were still the better team, had the better chances, it just didn’t want to go in. It’s so disappointing, it feels like a defeat. We had to score more goals.” If there’s a positive to be found, it’s that Liverpool were in fact the clearly better side, especially in the first half of the game. Of course, they were facing one of the worst teams in the league at home. And in the end, they fell apart to concede a soft equaliser and then couldn’t respond. And it’s that kind of context that feels so damning about Liverpool this season. That even when they mostly play pretty well, there are enough caveats and question marks it doesn’t feel as though it means a whole lot in the larger picture—because so far, it really hasn’t meant a whole lot. A good half is followed by a moment of fragility and throwing it away. A focus on defensive solidity has led to football that’s hard to watch and grinding out draws against sides Liverpool should be beating. Tactically and structurally, there’s something of a directionless drift to it all. “Some days are like this,” Wirtz added. “You try everything but in the end it doesn’t go in the goal. We only take one point but I can only say, next game we go again and try to do better.”
