Liverpool suffered a rare defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur
Pundit Frank Leboeuf has opined that Liverpool coach Arne Slot should have made more changes to his starting XI for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur. The Premier League leaders suffered a rare defeat, losing 0-1 to Ange Postecoglou's side in the first leg of the semi-final away from home.
Liverpool looked less sharp than usual as they dropped points against Manchester United at the weekend in the league. They suffered a second successive setback when Tottenham claimed a smash-and-grab victory at home, thanks to a fine strike by teenage star Lucas Bergvall.
ESPN pundit Leboueuf spoke via the network's UK YouTube channel about how Arne Slot could have set his side up differently for the game. He pointed out that the duo of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah ought to have started on the bench in order to have enough rest ahead of the second leg.
