"With Liverpool's hopes of defending their Premier League title growing increasingly slim, the club now finds itself with a 0% chance of claiming a different piece of silverware, the Carabao Cup, after yet another defeat to Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Despite a promising opening 40 minutes, Arne Slot's youthful squad suffered a disastrous end to the first half. It ultimately condemned Liverpool to their sixth loss in their last seven matches across all competitions."
"Freddie Woodman: 6.5/10- There wasn't much he could've done on any Palace goal-it was always going to be a tall order for the third-choice keeper to keep a clean sheet against a team that has absolutely had Liverpool's number lately. Should still feel proud to provide five saves on his Reds debut. Milos Kerkez: 6.5/10- Yet another mixed performance from the Hungarian."
"Andrew Robertson: 6/10- One of the defenders caught out for Palace's second goal, Robertson ultimately failed to provide the steady leadership and veteran presence Liverpool desperately needed with so many young players in the lineup. He also offered little going forward; it was a flat, uninspired outing from the Scotsman. Pulled in the 67th minute. Joe Gomez: 7/10- Overall, it was an unlucky outing for Gomez."
Liverpool were eliminated from the Carabao Cup after a defeat to Crystal Palace, leaving a 0% chance of winning that trophy and diminishing title defense hopes. The team began with a promising 40 minutes but suffered a disastrous end to the first half that proved decisive. The loss marked Liverpool's sixth defeat in seven matches across all competitions. Individual performances were mixed: Freddie Woodman produced five saves on his Reds debut, Milos Kerkez showed defensive improvement but was part of a vulnerable back line, Andrew Robertson lacked leadership and attacking impact, and Joe Gomez made key blocks despite some misfortune.
