Ian Wright makes strange Adam Idah error before Liverpool vs Norwich City FA Cup tie Balls.ie

Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp departure dominates FA Cup coverage, but Ian Wright's error discussing Norwich City player Adam Idah stands out.

The imminent departure of Jurgen Klopp from Anfield has understandably overshadowed Norwich City ahead of their FA Cup meeting with Liverpool. Klopp's unexpected announcement has dominated the conversation surrounding Liverpool's first fixture since the news broke. However, there was a notable oversight in the pre-match discussion on ITV regarding Norwich City.

Ian Wright, a respected pundit with over two decades of experience, made a peculiar error when discussing Norwich City's lineup. He mistakenly referred to Ireland international Adam Idah as the club's top scorer, when in fact, Jon Rowe, a winger, holds that title. Furthermore, Idah was not even starting the game, but was included on the substitute's bench.

This oversight did not go unnoticed by Norwich City fans, who expected Liverpool to dominate the conversation, but also anticipated that the pundits would have accurate information about the away team. Despite Ian Wright's reputable status as a pundit, this error was glaring and surprising.

Adam Idah's role at Carrow Road has largely been as a substitute this season, and he has recently been linked with a move to Serie A before the close of the winter transfer window. This incident highlights the importance of accurate and thorough analysis in football punditry, even in the midst of major news such as Jurgen Klopp's impending departure.
