Liverpool failed to retain the League Cup and win their first trophy under Slott after a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United.


Liverpool won the League Cup last season after beating Chelsea 1-0 in the final, the last title of the Klopp era. After the departure of Jurgen Klopp, Slott took over as coach of Liverpool.
Slott has done a surprising job in his debut season in charge of Liverpool. In the Premier League, with 70 points after 29 games and a huge 15-point lead, it was only a matter of time before Liverpool won the title.
However, Liverpool did not do well in the cup, being knocked out of the FA Cup by Plymouth in the fourth round, and in the Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool was knocked out on penalties by Paris. In the Carling Cup, Liverpool eliminated West Ham, Brighton, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur before reaching the final, which was Liverpool's 15th appearance in the Cup final.
