Terrible team selection – the lads are desperate for a win.”A third added: “I hope Arne Slot personally refunds every fan that paid for a ticket for today’s game.”I just can’t understand what Arne Slot is thinking with that squad.— Slotoholic (@Slotoholic) October 29, 2025 View Tweet One questioned: “Embarrassing team selection from Slot! This result will completely wipe the team of any confidence.”And another pondered: “What was Slot thinking not having some first-team players on the bench?”In the previous round, Liverpool faced Southampton, fielded a team of superstars, and breezed past Championship opposition – hence the fan confusion.Why did Arne Slot play that side against Crystal Palace?

That is one of the reasons."At this club we use this competition for our younger players" Arne Slot discusses his Liverpool team selection to face Crystal Palace 🔴🔊 pic.twitter.com/vtSGfh5ipI— Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) October 29, 2025 View Tweet “The other reason is because we only have four or five injuries, but if I have to play the same players again… there are multiple reasons why we’ve lost so many games, and while there are no excuses, it hasn’t been helpful that almost all the time we’ve only had two days between games after playing away from home.“If we keep playing with the same players – like, for example, I tried with Alexander Isak – then with players that missed out on pre-season, that is a big risk to pick up another injury. And we only have, at this moment in time, 15 or 16 senior players available.”Liverpool face Aston Villa on Saturday evening in what is now surely a must-win for Slot and his side.
