Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was honest with his assessment after losing to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. Three players summed up the difference between the sides.

Former striker Robbie Fowler believes some perspective needs applying to Liverpool 's season as winning the Premier League in Arne Slot 's first season would be a "phenomenal achievement". Exit from the Champions League and defeat in the Carabao Cup over the space of five days has left the Dutchman chasing just one trophy in his maiden Anfield campaign.

Liverpool's League Cup final defeat to Newcastle United saw Arne Slot made a whole host of poor decisions, which led to his side's misery.
