Slot blames Liverpool’s 'missing spirit' after 4-0 FA Cup defeat

Arne Slot slammed Liverpool for a lack of fighting spirit after the 4‑0 FA Cup exit to Manchester City, saying the team’s mentality was missing.

Arne Slot said Liverpool lacked the fighting spirit that should have seen them through a 4‑0 defeat by Manchester City in the FA Cup. He added that the team’s low goal output and poor mentality could put his position under scrutiny as Liverpool prepare to face Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League quarter‑finals.

The loss, which sent Guardiola’s side into the semi‑finals, may prove decisive for Slot’s future at Anfield.
