Carabao Cup: Why Crystal Palace eliminated us – Liverpool manager Slot

Liverpool boss, Arne Slot has suggested why Crystal Palace eliminated his team from the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Recall that Ismaila Sarr scored twice late on in the first half at Anfield to give his team a 2-0 lead.

However, in the second half, Yeremy Pino rounded out the win for the visitors after youngster, Amara Nallo was sent off.

Speaking at his post-match interview after the game, Slot insisted that the Reds failed to push for a goal against Crystal Palace when they were 2-0 down because they were unable to do so.

“If you manage Liverpool, you know the pressure is there. I don’t think it has changed much after this loss,” Slot said.

“But if it did, then maybe the most positive thing about tonight was the position we were in, 2-0 down and we weren’t really pushing for a goal because we weren’t able to.”

Liverpool will now shift their attention to the Premier League this week as they prepare to take on Aston Villa on Saturday.
