Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace in the League Cup round of 16

(NLDO) – Having just suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League last weekend, Liverpool continued to lose painfully to Crystal Palace in the League Cup round of 16 on the morning of October 30.

Liverpool continued to sink deeper into crisis when they lost 0-3 at home at Anfield to Crystal Palace in the 1/8 round of the English League Cup in the early morning of October 30 (Vietnam time).

A match in which coach Arne Slot put his faith in his young players, but they could not stand firm against the maturity and speed of their opponents from London.

Liverpool's starting lineup has many young players that even "The Kop" fans don't know by name, such as Calvin Ramsey, Trey Nioni, Kieran Morrison or Freddie Woodman...

Coach Arne Slot's decision to let key players like Mohamed Salah, Van Dijk or Dominik Szoboszlai rest is not unusual, but Slot's choice to rotate his squad too heavily has caused "The Kop" to lose their familiar rhythm and certainty.

Ismaila Sarr scored twice in four minutes for Crystal Palace

Despite having more possession in the first 20 minutes, the home team barely created any clear chances. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace played proactively and counter-attacked extremely effectively with the best personnel in the hands of coach Oliver Glasner.

In the 41st minute, Ismaïla Sarr opened the scoring with a decisive run down the field. Just four minutes later, the Senegalese doubled the lead with a tricky cross-angle shot, leaving goalkeeper Freddie Woodman completely helpless. Two consecutive goals before the break left Anfield in silence.

Amara Nallo received a red card for pulling a player

In the second half, coach Arne Slot tried to bring in a few more key players to save the situation, but the game did not change. Disaster struck in the 79th minute when young midfielder Amara Nallo received a straight red card for a foul in a position that prevented a clear scoring opportunity. With one man down, Liverpool completely collapsed. In the 88th minute, Yeremy Pino sealed a 3-0 victory for Palace with a cool finish in the penalty area.

This was Liverpool's sixth defeat in seven games in all competitions, and their heaviest defeat of the season. "We have to take responsibility, especially me. The team needs to learn how to stand up," coach Slot admitted after the crushing defeat of the defending runners-up, who have now become spectators of the League Cup.

Liverpool stopped early in the English League Cup

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace convincingly qualified for the quarter-finals of the League Cup. This victory not only demonstrated the team's progress under coach Oliver Glasner, but also sounded a serious warning bell for Liverpool - a team that is losing itself in a rapid decline, unable to retain the trust of fans.
