They are actually at Anfield. — Barry LFC O Sullivan (@NotoriousLFC) October 29, 2025 “Either this is a genius move by Slot fielding the team he did or a very poor decision. Nobody wants to experience this. — Rory Greenfield (@RoryGreenfield) October 29, 2025 Not too bothered about exiting the Carabao Cup but Slot has taken a risk here with his team selection.

Especially if it becomes a habit – and again at Anfield. — Jay (@Jay82_LFC) October 29, 2025 By putting out this lineup and bench, Slot has made the game against Aston Villa this weekend even more of a must win than it was before. Crazy when you think where we were a couple of months ago. — Nick Collins (@Nick___Collins) October 29, 2025 The only thing I will say about that team and even weaker bench tonight is, if you’re resting them all, then Saturday is absolutely must win with zero excuses. — Stephen Evans (@StephenEvans75) October 29, 2025 Honestly, it's absolutely mindless rolling out that squad tonight in the context of our season.

Fair enough if we've been playing well but this team need to click. — Robert (@KopData) October 29, 2025 The fans have done all that's asked of them. Lose to Villa and it could be curtains. — WAZ (@Waz612) October 29, 2025 You can debate both sides of the argument when it came to Slot’s team selection; firstly, that he is aware of the three huge games on the horizon, but equally that a win was incredibly valuable considering the current run of form.
