“Slot’s risky game with a young team backfired tremendously for those who were enjoying Liverpool’s current dip in form,” wrote the Sun after the game on Wednesday evening. While Slot made ten changes from Saturday’s defeat to Brentford, some veterans were left standing by. Incomprehensible to the English tabloid: “Even if they are not at their best, it is smart to have players like Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk on the bench. But the Dutch slot had given them a break for some unknown reason.”
