Gary Neville has slammed Arne Slot ‘s tactics after Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

Despite having 66 per cent of the possession, Liverpool managed just seven shots – one less than Newcastle’s 17 – and it showed that their problems in midfield were punished by Eddie Howe’s superiority. Ahead of

the game, Martin Keown predicted that the outcome would be decided by Newcastle’s powerful midfield duo Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes. And rightly so. Liverpool

‘s midfield pairing of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister appeared to be struggling, and despite Slot trying to adjust their tactics in the second half, Neville still slammed the Reds’ performance. “

The substitutions didn’t help. On the contrary, Liverpool looked worse. The midfield was scattered. There were holes all over the place,” Neville said after Liverpool brought on Curtis Jones, แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo to make amends. The

Reds decided to bring on Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa to replace Gravenberch and Luis Diaz in the 74th minute and the pair combined to equalise in the 94th minute of stoppage time,

but it was too little too late for Liverpool as they failed to recover in time, leaving Newcastle to celebrate their historic title triumph on a night of triumph.
