Liverpool host Paris St-Germain for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final next Tuesday
Changing the shape of your side for a big game will always draw attention. So Arne Slot put himself in the spotlight by setting up Liverpool with a back five against the champions of Europe.
The result - a 2-0 defeat by Paris St-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final - left Liverpool's season hanging by a thread.
It was a surprising tweak. The only other time Liverpool have fielded a back five this season was in their Carabao Cup fourth-round defeat by Crystal Palace in October.
So why make that change? Did Slot get his tactics wrong? Or were PSG just too good?
