At Old Trafford, the Reds took a 2-1 lead into halftime after being under pressure for the majority of the first forty-five minutes.

However, after goals from Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister, Jurgen Klopp’s team played far too loosely and, despite controlling the majority of the second half, were unable to muster any momentum.

The choice to substitute Gakpo for a barely fit Salah in the 77th minute, when the Dutchman had minimal impact on the match, did not help with that.

His careless pass that caused a five-on-two burst to collapse when he was leading 2-1 was his most notable contribution, but there weren’t many other positive aspects.

In the 78th minute of play, Liverpool’s five-against-two counterattack was squandered.

After a crushing loss to fierce rival Manchester United, coach Jurgen Klopp and his players can no longer hope of winning four. Liverpool led twice, once during the extra period. Despite goals from Mohamed Salah, Harvey Elliott, and Alexis Mac Allister, The Kop were not guaranteed a spot at Wembley.

because the Red Devils advanced to the semi-finals, where they will take on Championship team Coventry City, after to goals from Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo in the last 15 minutes.

Legendary Liverpool player Carragher did not hold the defenders accountable despite giving up four goals. Rather, he criticized Cody Gakpo, who was substituted for Salah in the 77th minute, on social media. In the 78th minute, Gakpo had a chance to seal the victory, but the Dutch striker was able to miss.

Cody Gakpo had the ball at his feet and took too much time to release it. When he did, he played a rather poor pass to Elliott, who got stuck in traffic as United defenders had already returned.

There was no surprise, then, that Gakpo attracted criticism from many Liverpool supporters after the 4-3 loss.

Through his personal page, former Liverpool defend Jamie Carragher criticized striker Cody Gakpo after the 3-4 defeat in the FA Cup quarterfinals against Man United.

“Gakpo plays like the game is in slow motion,” shared the former Anfield midfielder. And others agreed.

One fan joked: “Can we sell Gakpo to United during the interval, Danns would do more?”

“Gakpo time to go back to Eredivisie buddy that’s your ceiling,” a second fan wrote.

“Gakpo should have gone to United,” a third commented.

“Gakpo has been so useless this season. I don’t generally like to trash our players but his level just hasn’t been where it needs to be,” another added.

The Reds were 2-1 up at that time and the goal would have sealed the win for Liverpool. However, they failed to score and Antony equalised a few minutes later.
