Liverpool's EFL Cup final loss to Newcastle has raised concerns about their form and fatigue. Arne Slot calls one team as "probably the best team in Europe".

Liverpool delivered one of their worst performances of the season in the Carabao Cup final, with Federico Chiesa’s stoppage-time goal not enough to prevent Newcastle from getting their hands on the trophy thanks to efforts either side of half-time by Dan Burn and Alexander Isak.

Gary Neville believes Liverpool's chances of Carabao Cup final glory were completely undermined by Arne Slot after his tactics came in for rare criticism.
