After a surprising 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle, Liverpool manager Arne Slot defended his decision to rotate his squad, making 10 changes from their previous game. He emphasized the need for players to gain rhythm for upcoming fixtures, expressing disappointment in the result but praising Plymouth's hardworking efforts. Despite the loss, he maintained a focus on the long-term benefits, while Plymouth's manager reflected on the crucial moment in their season, highlighting their organizational strength and determination to avoid relegation by the end of the season.
Most of the things we do, we do for a reason. We have many games to play. The ones who played today need game rhythm, for them to be ready in the upcoming months.
There were one or two big chances, but I think if a team is working so hard... maybe you deserve to be a bit lucky as well.
We wanted to represent ourselves. To be organised, to be brave, to be full of intensity, to use this huge stage as an opportunity.
The biggest moment is yet to come, at the end of the season, when we stay up. This is what I feel, in my mind, in my soul.
