Liverpool's 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the wisdom of manager Arne Slot in making ten changes to his starting lineup. Despite this, Slot remains resolute in his decision-making.
"I have no regrets," he said when asked about the team selection. The 3-0 scoreline against a Premier League side was a harsh reminder that changing so many players can be detrimental to a team's chances of success.
The question on everyone's mind is why Slot made such drastic changes, especially considering the importance of the match. He did not provide a clear explanation for his decisions, only stating that it "felt like the right decision" at the time.
This is not the first time Slot has been accused of making reckless substitutions in big games, and many fans are beginning to wonder if he has what it takes to manage the Reds effectively.
For now, it remains to be seen how this Carabao Cup defeat will affect Liverpool's overall season.

. Making 10 changes in a big match is already a risk, but adding that they didn't even win? That's just crazy talk 
. I get it, he thinks it was the right call at the time, but come on, hindsight is always 20/20 now 
. The fans are starting to lose faith in him, and rightfully so. Liverpool needs a manager who knows when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em 
. For now, I'm keeping an eye on how he recovers from this loss 
.
i think he needs to rethink his strategy and maybe just stick with what works, you know? its not like crystal palace is arsenal or somethin 
and yeah, fans are startin to get a little worried about his abilities as a manager... did anyone see the game tho? was it really that bad? 
I don't get why they changed so many players in that big game. It just looks like a mess on paper 
. You can't just swap out half the team and expect everything to fall into place, it's not how football works 
. I mean, you gotta pick your best 11 and stick with 'em 
. Ten changes? That's just asking for trouble 
.
they must've been super bummed out after that big loss and all those changes made no sense 
i get it, experimentation is cool and all but 3-0 against Crystal Palace?? that's just harsh 
Slot needs to be honest with himself and his team about what worked and what didn't. fans deserve some clarity 
and yeah, this might be a turning point for him... fingers crossed he gets it together next time 
u gotta feel 4 LFC right now... changing 10 players in a big match is just not right 
Slot's tactics are getting more scrutiny by the day, and for good reason 
it's gonna be hard to recover from this loss, esp with the rest of the season still ahead 
. And now this huge 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace? Yeah, that's not exactly what you'd call confidence-inspiring 
️. It's like they were just throwing darts and hoping some would stick 
... or in this case, missing the target entirely 
.
It's like they were playing a different game altogether.
. I hope they can bounce back from this and get their mojo back. The season's still young, so fingers crossed they can learn from this defeat 
. I'm all for giving new players a chance, but not at the expense of the rest of the squad 
It feels like he's not thinking about the bigger picture. Remember when Klopp used to bench Salah in that Champions League final against Barcelona? It didn't end well for them either...
