‘Alvarez puts pressure on manager’published at 22:02 British Summer Time

FT: Liverpool 5-1 West Ham

They collapsed. The red card was a real hammer blow.

West Ham struggled to deal with Salah’s goal as they were essentially the better side at the time, but substitutions threw a spanner in the works.

I thought Antonio had a massive impact when he came on, Paqueta, and I felt like I thought, ‘Oh, West Ham are going to come back into this, this could be a really exciting game’.

You can’t justify Alvarez’s decisions. Both yellow cards were just ridiculous tackles in areas of the pitch where he doesn’t need to go in and score and he really cost his team and put a lot of pressure on the manager.
