Jamie Carragher said Liverpool’s defeat to Newcastle at Wembley was one of their “worst performances” in a cup final and believes it has “shone a light” on a major problem facing Arne Slot. Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final as Eddie Howe’s side ended their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy but the margin of victory could have greater.

Jamie Carragher expressed concern that Liverpool’s legs appear to have gone in the wake of a 2-1 Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle. The Merseysiders did little to trouble Eddie Howe’s outfit beyond fray a few nerves with Federico Chiesa’s late effort in extra time.

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.
