Liverpool’s Cup Final Comedy Show!…
Arne Slot must have felt like he stumbled into a circus this week with Liverpool’s hilarious attempt at playing football! After taking a nose-dive out of the Champions League, the Reds put on a slapstick routine for the ages with a Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle. Poor Slot, he might’ve thought managing in England was just a bunch of tea and scones, but he’s getting a hearty dose of “football reality” now.
Despite cruising through with only minor bumps like Plymouth Argyle tripping them up, the wheels have come off faster than you can say “jaded midfield.” Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai were outclassed in the middle of the park. Meanwhile, the Geordie trio of Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, and Sandro Tonali looked like they were on a samba-fueled energy drink commercial.
Slot learned the hard way that “rotation” isn’t just a dance move. With a busier schedule than a London tourist on a double-decker, Liverpool urgently needs a squad that doesn’t look like they need a nap! As summer approaches, more talented boot-wearers must step up, or Liverpool might just end up as the punchline in next season’s football comedy.
