Slot rues Liverpool’s 'missing fighting spirit' after humiliating FA Cup exit

Liverpool manager Arne Slot looks on in disgust during the Emirates FA Cup quarter-final match at the Etihad Stadium

Arne Slot slammed Liverpool’s “missing fighting spirit” after the 4-0 humiliation by Manchester City that propelled Pep Guardiola’s team into the FA Cup semi-finals.

The manner of the 4-0 reverse will heighten scrutiny of the head coach’s future, with Liverpool next at Paris Saint-Germain for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg. A similar defeat in the tie may prove terminal for Slot.
