Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has slammed the criticism of Liverpool’s starting lineup against his side in the Carabao Cup. Palace cruised past the Reds on Wednesday evening, winning 3-0 at Anfield, as Arne Slot‘s team lost a fifth domestic game in a row.

Slot has been criticised for his team selection, with Freddie Woodman and Kieran Morrison handed debuts and Liverpool’s substitutes having just nine senior appearances combined. • READ: Arne Slot’s team selection “backfired spectacularly” – “These defeats are on him” But speaking in his post-match press conference, Glasner said that the criticism was harsh, with the Reds still littered with quality even with so many changes. “We saw Arne Slot’s decision and it is disrespectful to all their players [to say it was a weak team],” Glasner said.

“I have seen Joe Gomez win the Champions League and the Premier League with them; I have seen Wataru Endo play a lot of games for Japan; I have seen Alexis Mac Allister, he won the World Cup with Argentina. Everyone who wears this [Liverpool] badge has quality.” Slot’s balancing act The reaction to Slot’s team selection was always going to be split, especially during a period in which wins are coming at a premium for Liverpool.
