Liverpool’s woes deepened last night as they suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup fourth round at Anfield, crashing out of the competition in front of their home supporters. The result piles immense pressure on manager Arne Slot, whose side have now lost four consecutive Premier League matches and failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 games across all competitions.The Reds, once known for their high-intensity football and defensive solidity, looked disjointed and vulnerable once again.
Crystal Palace took full advantage, scoring twice before half-time to silence the Kop and adding a third late in the second half to seal a historic win. Liverpool’s defensive frailties were once again exposed, continuing a worrying trend that has plagued Slot’s tenure in recent weeks.
The defeat marks Liverpool’s exit from the Carabao Cup 2025/26 season, leaving fans frustrated with the team’s recent performances. Slot’s tactical approach has come under scrutiny, with questions emerging about his ability to adapt to English football following his appointment earlier this year.
With Liverpool slipping in league form and now out of a domestic cup, supporters are beginning to lose patience. Many fear that another poor result in the coming fixtures could put the Dutch manager’s job in serious jeopardy.
