Liverpool are having a nightmare patch of form and, following their home defeat to Manchester United, questions are being asked about the EPL champions’ chances of winning the league as well as the performance of their expensive squad and popular manager.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that he is concerned that his team have now lost four matches in a row following their disastrous defeat at the hands of a struggling rivals, Manchester United.
Speaking at the post-match press conference following the 2-1 home loss, Slot stated that “There are concerns. If you lose four times in a row, you have to have concerns.”
The Premier League Champions’ manager went on to attribute United’s low block and long-ball team tactics to his team’s painful defeat, but still thinks that his team should have overcome such negative tactics.
“If you had told me before the game that against the low block, against the team that plays so many long balls, we would have created as many chances as we did, I would not have expected us to lose this game,” added the Dutchman.
A defiant Slot went on to say that his team had enough chances to win, but the defeat concerned him and that losing four times in a row will definitely have an impact on his high-quality team’s chances moving forward.
Liverpool have a UEFA Champions League game on Wednesday, which he will see as a great chance to get Liverpool back on track and get a much-needed victory against Eintracht Frankfurt to stop the slide.
Personally, I think that this is a mere blip. However, one or two more defeats could see Slot and his team under some serious pressure as they contiinue to slip behing title rivals Arsenal and Manchester City in the race to become champions of England.
