Steven Gerrard will be looking for a reaction from his men on Wednesday night as they prepare to take on Kilmarnock in the Premiership.
The 1-0 defeat in the Scottish Cup semi-final was a huge blow, with bitter rivals waiting for them after beating Hearts earlier on Sunday.
Two players disappointed on Sunday and they must both be axed for the next game.
Umar Sadiq is the obvious one. Thrown in at the deep end after criticism from Gerrard, Sadiq played because Alfredo Morelos was suspended and Kyle Lafferty was cup-tied.
