Liverpool fans express concerns over Jarell Quansah and urge Arne Slot to take action following their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
Spurs secured a narrow victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, with 18-year-old Lucas Bergvall scoring the decisive goal four minutes from time. Despite controversy over whether Bergvall should have received a second yellow card earlier, manager Ange Postecoglou defended the player’s actions.
For Liverpool, the loss marked only their second defeat of the season. However, many fans are calling for Slot to prioritize signing a new center-back in January after Quansah’s underwhelming performance. The 21-year-old, who has made 10 appearances this season, was substituted before halftime after reporting he felt unwell.
Supporters took to social media to share their concerns:
One wrote: “I’m really worried about Quansah. I had no faith in him at all that first half. Felt more confident when Endo came on. It’s clear we need another defender in January.”
Another commented: “Unbelievable how bad Quansah is. Can’t do a thing right.”
A third added: “Even before he went off, what has happened to Quansah? Don’t know if his confidence has been shot, but he was struggling to even make a simple pass.”
A fourth joked: “Quansah’s done the classic Sunday League thing where you drop a 0/10 and pretend to be injured.”
Speaking after the match, Slot addressed Quansah’s substitution, clarifying it wasn’t due to an injury but rather a health issue. “He didn’t feel really well from the start of the game,” Slot explained. “He said there was a pressure on his chest. It wasn’t an injury but more not feeling well.”
Slot also revealed that Quansah had been unwell in the days leading up to the match but appeared to be recovering. “Maybe that had something to do with it,” he added.
