We Need to Find Answers to Stop Liverpool Slide, Says Slot
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said opponents have identified a winning strategy against his Premier League champions and he needs to find a solution fast after a 3-2 defeat at Brentford on Saturday made it four league losses in a row.
Their title defense had begun well but defeats at Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Brentford, as well as last week’s 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United, have knocked the Dutchman’s side off the rails.
Slot said the loss at Brrentford was arguably the worst performance in their slump as Liverpool were deservedly beaten by a side who ruthlessly exploited their fragility.
“I’ve said this many times already that teams have a certain playing style against us, which is a very good strategy to play, and we haven’t found an answer yet,” Slot told reporters.
“Also going 1-0 down doesn’t really help as well after five minutes. But even today, when we don’t play well, we’re able to score two goals and create more chances from open play.”
Liverpool have conceded early goals in each of their four Premier League defeats and went behind at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday before storming back to win 5-1.
