Liverpool exit the Carabao Cup as another matchday brings another defeat, with Arne Slot questionably ringing the changes and substitute Amara Nallo earning an unwanted record. They should be trying too hard, right?

Slot is nothing but honest, it’s a respectable trait, but here he was setting himself up for many an obvious dramatic headline. ‘Manager in crisis throws lambs to the slaughter in order to protect the remainder of his wayward flock’. Nallo being caught cold as Liverpool’s last man as Palace broke through – yet again – was no surprise.

Chiesa’s movement to create the first-half golden moment was laced with experienced, timing the run and judging the bounce, but his lashed volleyed effort portrayed a man who is almost too desperate to uproot the back of the net. The chance went begging, and the match in which Federico was Liverpool’s main man passed by without bearing fruit.
