Now there are concerns and there are question marks over the selection and tactics for the first time in Slot's Liverpool career,” Crouch told Paddy Power.“It was one of those where he actually really needed a win in the Carabao Cup, so to change as many players as he did seemed a little bit strange when they're struggling as much as they are.
