If you ever needed a game to demonstrate how hard Salah has carried our attack this season, that was it. Without him providing magic, we have absolutely nothing up at the top.

Jota. The lack of quality in literally everything he does in possession is stark. Diaz as ever works his socks off but as ever also has zero end product. Nunez is Nunez.

Gakpo is the one who gets a pass as he was just coming back from injury and looked like he had just played 100 minutes from the moment he got on the pitch. He couldn't even sprint back to help defend - should never have been in the squad. That's on Slot who'd rather play a clearly unfit Gakpo than use Chiesa.

I think the midfield and defense were fine last night. Mix up for the goal but that's when you need your attack to go and bail you out the other end and they didn't.

As for the penalties. Donnarumma had won 5 of his 6 penalty shootouts (now 6 from 7). We were never winning the tie once it went to penalties, more so with the likes of Trent, Dom & Mac off.

Disappointed but guess we just have to dust ourselves off and go again on Sunday at Wembley. Going to be another tough one though, as I think Trent maybe done for the season going by they way he turned his ankle jumping in, sadly might even have been his last time wearing a Reds jersey. Konate also looks to be out for Sunday as well.

Lost in the negativity of losing but big shout out to Quansah coming on for Trent - almost scored twice as well.
