"As the heavens opened over Anfield, the TV cameras panned to the Liverpool dugout. Behind head coach Arne Slot and his bench of substitutes, Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, and Florian Wirtz were sat side-by-side in the stands, bundled up against the cold. The trio have more than 500 career goals between them, but on Wednesday night, they were powerless to do anything but watch as Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup."
"The form book shows that Liverpool have now lost six of their last seven games in all competitions, with a crisis threatening to engulf a campaign many predicted would end with another Premier League title triumph. At present, the prospect of Slot's side winning any silverware this term looks bleak."
"Certainly, for the first time in three years, they will not be at Wembley Stadium when the winner of this competition is decided, with Ismalia Sarr's first-half double and a late strike from Yeremy Pino consigning the Reds to yet another hugely disappointing night. Milos Kerkez was the only player who featured at Brentford to retain his place in the starting XI, with fellow left back Andy Robertson partnering Joe Gomez at center back."
Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup as senior stars Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz watched from the stands. Manager Arne Slot made 10 changes from the Brentford lineup to protect senior players amid a growing injury list and a punishing schedule. Liverpool have lost six of their last seven matches across competitions, putting their title and trophy hopes in jeopardy. Ismalia Sarr scored twice and Yeremy Pino added a late goal. Milos Kerkez was the only Brentford starter retained; Andy Robertson partnered Joe Gomez at center back.
