JAKARTA - Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has admitted that he was injured as a result of the surprise elimination of the Reds from the FA Cup after being defeated by Plymouth Argyle 0-1.
Plymouth, who is at the bottom of the Championship standings, defeated Premier League leaders in the FA Cup Fourth Round thanks to Ryan Hardie's penalty after Harvey Elliott's handball in the penalty box.
Arne Slot fielded a team that changed a lot at Home Park - making 10 changes to Carabao Cup's win over Tottenham Hotspur in the middle of last week. Plymouth has been successful in frustrating the visitors since the first whistle.
"It was a great game from Plymouth. It was a good game plan. They deserved all the credit for their performance today."
"We didn't have a good day. This is the result. I can't say that the kids didn't fight because they struggled for 100 minutes."
"Both teams barely created chances and then the match was determined by a penalty, which was given appropriately because (Elliott) raised both hands over his head."

"In a game like this, when both teams barely have a chance, any chance, it all depends on one moment."
"That moment was then for them. As I said, they deserved it because they played very well," Slot told ITV.
Arne Slot rested a number of key players. Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Mohamed Salah did not even participate in the team's journey.
The rotation needs to be done so that the troops return to fitness. You see, Liverpool will face an important match, Derby Merseyside, against Everton on Thursday, February 13, 2025.
Liverpool will try to rise from defeat in the FA Cup. Victory against city rivals Everton will treat the wound while at the same time making them nine points ahead at the top of the Premier League standings.
"It hurts to everyone involved with Liverpool, the fans, me, the players."
"We all want to be in the (FA Cup) tournament as long as possible. They keep fighting until the last second."
"The only chance we have created is in the last 10 to 15 minutes. It's not a matter of work ethic."
"They worked very hard, but they couldn't find a chance. We just had to maintain the co-operation ethic."
"We also have to be more creative in the upcoming matches," said Arne Slot.
