Liverpool suffer 4-0 humbling defeat to Man City in FA Cup

The defeat was described as a structural failure by The Guardian, highlighting a worrying lack of collective resolve. Arne Slot’s side contributed to their own downfall through defensive lapses and a passive approach, allowing City to exploit weaknesses ruthlessly. Midfield energy was notably absent, with Dominik Szoboszlai admitting the team lacked the necessary fighting spirit and mentality to compete.
