Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle. A second-half penalty from Ryan Hardie decided a hard-fought contest at Home Park in the favour of the hosts. But, for Reds reporter David Lynch, the true story of the game was Arne Slot's selection, specifically the decision to leave a number of stars at home. That, he says, is evidence of where the FA Cup ranked in terms of the manager's priorities, and hinted at the potential upsides of an early exit. Those aspects and a poor performance from Diogo Jota are highlighted in this match review.
