<p>After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-plymouth-diogo-jota-luis-diaz-flop-fa-cup-championship/bltd2b0f1b1a069e5a4" target="_blank">Liverpool's shock fourth-round FA Cup loss to Plymouth</a> on Sunday, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gary-lineker-succession-team-confirmed-bbc-match-of-the-day-announce-three-new-presenters-flagship-show/blt46309070db88fa51#cs0793ee723bd8a585" target="_blank">incoming Match of the Day co-host Cates</a> felt the Reds were "lowkey" in the 1-0 defeat. In a tongue in mouth remark, she said this could be where things start to go wrong for Dutchman Slot at Liverpool.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>She said in jest on The Sports Agents podcast: “There were goals in that team. It just was a really low-key performance. I think it's either going to be a blip in a fantastic season, or the beginning of the end, and this will be marked as the turning point of the of the whole season!”</p>

WHAT KELLY CATES SAID

<p>While Liverpool's early FA Cup exit was a shock, Slot has done a remarkable job so far. His side are top of the Premier League, are flying high in the Champions League, and are into the Carabao Cup final. It doesn't seem like the beginning of the end is nigh for the ex-Feyenoord boss.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool will look to bounce back from the Plymouth loss when they take on rivals Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Wednesday.</p>
