This season, Liverpool has dominated all competitions. Not content with topping the Premier League and Champions League tables, the Reds advanced to the Carabao Cup semi-finals after defeating Southampton 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Arne Slot will have been heartened by Wataru Endo, Tyler Morton, and Jarell Quansah’s performances in the encounter, which also saw Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez score for the Reds.
So, what can Liverpool expect from the peripheral players who played such a significant role in the win over Southampton? Our LFC jury has their say. According To Liverpool Echo.
To say that Harvey Elliott’s return has been a breath of fresh air is an understatement. Although the Reds have been flying without the 21-year-old due to injury, since his return, he has demonstrated exactly what we have been missing in terms of inventiveness and precision in front of goal.

Elliott was unlucky not to score a fantastic curling effort against Fulham during his cameo last weekend as it bent agonisingly past the post, but he grabbed a deserved goal against Southampton during mid-week, which helped us continue into the semi-final of the League Cup.
In the midst of one of the season’s busiest periods, Liverpool’s on-field alternatives appear to be steadily expanding, which is positive. That was highlighted by Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup quarterfinal victory over Southampton. The widely anticipated personnel turnover was accompanied by a high level of quality retention.
Are there other more appropriate choices in Europe who could replace the mercurial Uruguayan for a similar prize? Nunez is expected to play a significant role in Liverpool’s pursuit of domestic and European success, as the club faces challenges on all fronts.
