Liverpool’s FA Cup trip ended abruptly when they fell 1-0 against Plymouth Argyle on Sunday against Plymouth Argyle.
Arne Slot turned his page with the Merseyside derby and was paid for the payment because his inconsistent side went far beyond the standards you expected. Ryan Hardie’s punishment in the second half showed the difference and sealed a famous FA-Cup that was angry for the lower side of the championship.
How the game unfolds
After ten changes to his starting line -up, the slot would not have been surprised that Liverpool’s incoherent start to the process, with Joe Gomez ‘early injury disturbed things for the red. Plymouth was happy to take the property to her famous visitors who were difficult to break her.
Plymouth was frustrated that she did not get a punishment for the half -hour brand when Mustapha Bundu went down under pressure from Kostas Tsimikas, but they were undoubtedly the happier of the two sides when the half -time pipe sounded. James McConnell’s distracted strike from range was the only effort of the game in the first half.
Seven minutes after the restart, Plymouth got the penalty they wanted. Harvey Elliott jumped to block a speculative pass with arms raised and was punished to sweat the ball away. Hardie appeared to send Caoimhin Kelleher in the wrong direction.
Hardie met the position shortly afterwards before Plymouth’s focus was on defense. The entire backline was excellent and goalkeeper Conor Hazard played his role with two fantastic parades to refuse Diogo Jarell and Jarell Quansah deep into the injury time when Plymouth held an unforgettable Fa -Pokal surprise.
This was clearly not the Liverpool team, which this season has conquered both the Premier League and the Champions League in the storm, but there is no repetition of the red who should not be able to work on a Plymouth team Make that has been scrapped for your life in very life Bottom in England’s second stage.
The striker line of Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz remained shocking behind the expectations and did very little, which supported their search for more minutes in the Slot A team.
It will be a learning curve for young people in the squad who were disappointed by the leading names that should have offered much more.
When Merseyside Derby came closer on Wednesday, Slot made it clear that he prioritized Everton in front of Plymouth when his team leaf appeared here. The boss had not only become young, but also left the team’s biggest names at home.
Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, Andy Robertson Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo were not warned that his reserve side should have enough to have the job too Done to do the job to do the job to do it to do it to do it to do it. .
This faith exhibition from the slot has now been punished when Liverpool’s striving for the four times through a team that admitted 63 goals in 30 championship games this season.
It was a miserable day for Joe Gomez, whose return from a thigh injury only lasted nine minutes.
An unpleasant release made it clear that something was wrong with the versatile defender who soon sat on the floor and informed the Liverpool bank that he could no longer continue. Since there were so many older players at home, a debut for the young Isaac Mabaya from the bank.
The Merseyside derby will come up on Wednesday, and while Gomez probably never begins, his absence exposes the real pressure on Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konat to stay healthy until he returns.
