Liverpool analysis: Five reasons why the wheel has fallen off for Arne Slot’s Reds

Liverpool’s 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on the night of Wednesday, October 29, continued their poor run of form to make it six losses out of their last seven games.

The Reds fielded an unusual starting line-up for their match against Palace, with five of their players featuring from the academy or making their senior debut. 

Big players such as Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz were all rested from the squad.

Liverpool weren’t able to carry the momentum gained from their UEFA Champions League 5-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt into the Brentford game on Saturday, October 25, as they were comfortably beaten at the G-Tech 3-1, mounting pressure on the club’s hopes of retaining the Premier League.
