In this round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost 2-3 to Brentford. The Red Army suffered a 4th consecutive league defeat. Slott was interviewed by TNT after the game.

Evaluating the game

"The performance was not very good, maybe except for 20-25 minutes in the first half. At that time we were already 0-1 behind, but in those 20-25 minutes, I think it was possible to achieve results. Judging from the rest of the game , look at the way we played against Brentford, I think we never really got into the game."

Four consecutive Premier League defeats

"You can't compare all games, but the most worrying thing is you lose four games in a row and now you can judge the performance. Tian is the worst of the four in my opinion. Additionally, conceding one set piece and not scoring one makes winning football games difficult. "

Why this game is the worst

"We didn't do the basics well in the first half and part of the second half. They win more duels than we do, they win more second-down penalties than we do and if you come here and know that if you're going to concede a goal, one of them is probably a set piece and the counter-attack is one of their biggest strengths as well and that's how we conceded two goals. "

"I'm not sure if the referee gave them a penalty, but it ended up being in the penalty area. We tried it after being 3-1 down and made a few substitutions, but maybe if I'm being completely honest, at the time it was more likely that they would have scored than us to tie it 2-3."

Salah scored

"If Salah is going to start scoring consecutive goals, it will definitely be important for the team. Football is about scoring goals, but football is also about not conceding goals. In so many games now we have scored one, two, three goals, almost every time in the first five minutes."

"If we Having players who score goals, that helps the team, but that only works if we as a team can keep clean sheets and that's not just something the defense does, it's something we need to do better as a team. "

Injury Situation

"You would prefer all players to be available, that's plain and simple, but if that's not the case then the players we have available need to deliver results. That's something you can encounter during a season, and that's exactly what's happening with us right now. It's certainly something I don't like, but you have to accept it. "
