Arne Slot makes ruthless sub as debutant faces humbling moment in Liverpool FA Cup shock Arne Slot handed a Liverpool debut to Isaac Mabaya - only to haul him off 47 minutes later in their FA Cup encounter.
The new man on the pitch must've thought he'd now see out the game but, after Plymouth took a shock lead at Home Park, the Liverpool boss showed with ruthless side by hauling off Mabaya - who had endured a difficult first outing - and bringing on Darwin Nunez.
Slot switched up his starting XI and handed minutes to several squad players with Joe Gomez coming in to the backline, only to suffer an injury blow early on.
Nunez joined a frontline that also included Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and summer signing Federico Chiesa but they couldn't find the goal that would've forced extra time.
Slot included several young players in the line-up - including McConnell Trey Nyoni - with Mabaya adding to the inexperience when he emerged from the bench.
