“We tried to give our best in the game and when it was 3-0 or 4-0, we still had a few chances. Of course, this is not our standards that we lose 4-0.

Next year, we should go better and be better on the pitch.” Arne Slot has faced pressure from multiple quarters this season, though the Liverpool head coach still has a chance to turn things around. We still have things to play for and everything I can say to that is that we believe in the manager and try to get our best on the pitch tomorrow.” Saturday’s 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Man City marked Liverpool’s 15th loss in all competitions this season, the most in a single campaign since 2014–15, when they lost 18 under Brendan Rodgers.
