Jarell Quansah faced an early setback in Liverpool’s 5-1 Carabao Cup win against West Ham United on Wednesday night. For Quansah, the game had been highly anticipated, as it was his second outing of the season after being replaced at halftime in Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Ipswich Town. Playing on the right side of Liverpool’s defence, Quansah aimed to impress, having used his performances en route to League Cup success last season as a foundation for competing in the Premier League. Despite the Hammers taking the lead, Quansah played an influential role, regularly switching the ball to Cody Gakpo, helping Liverpool’s No.18 exploit the space and score two goals in stoppage time. Quansah showed resilience and determination after being subbed off in his previous game, which he reflected on after the match.
Jarell Quansah said “I’ll keep grafting on the training pitch and that’s all it is. It’s never a nice feeling as a footballer to be subbed off at half-time but at the end of the day it was the gaffer’s decision and it was the right one. It obviously worked because we won, so I can only focus on myself, improve myself, kick forward and move on to the next game.”
After the match, Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised the quality and depth of the squad, emphasizing the collective hard work that contributed to the victory.
Arne Slot: said “I constantly told you guys how many quality players we already had. I think you all knew and that’s also what we showed in the last weeks and today again that we have many quality players. They try to work really hard for the team. There was a lot of desire not to concede and as a result of that we had some good individual performances as well.”
This restructuring organizes the quotes and context in a cohesive manner, providing a clear narrative around Quansah’s performance and the manager’s comments.
