Liverpool crash out as crisis deepens after 'surprise' selection gamble backfires: Carabao Cup Wrap
"Liverpool crashed out of the League Cup on Thursday as Crystal Palace's 3-0 win in the fourth round added to the mounting crisis at Anfield.

Ismaila Sarr struck twice in the first half and Yeremy Pino grabbed the third to condemn Arne Slot's side to a sixth defeat in their last seven games in all competitions."
"Slot fielded a weakened team as he prioritised Liverpool's crucial games against Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City over the next two weeks. But it was still another embarrassing result for Liverpool, coming hot on the heels of a 3-2 loss at Brentford that further dented their spluttering Premier League title defence. The Reds have lost their last four league matches and trail leaders Arsenal by seven points."
"Assailed by criticism of their defensive failings and the poor form of blockbuster summer signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, Liverpool's fall from grace has been stunning. Isak, Wirtz, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were all absent as Slot made 10 changes and fielded teenagers Kieran Morrison, Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni. Speaking before the game, Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp said he was "really surprised" by the team Slot picked."
Liverpool lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace in the League Cup fourth round, with Ismaila Sarr scoring twice and Yeremy Pino adding the third. Arne Slot rested many key players, making ten changes with several teenagers in the side ahead of major upcoming fixtures. The defeat was Liverpool's sixth in seven matches and extended a run of four consecutive league losses, leaving them seven points behind league leaders. Defensive errors and poor form from high-profile signings contributed to the problems, and a tactical switch to a back three backfired when Joe Gomez’s mistake led to a penalty goal.
