Slaughter: I didn’t expect to lose four games in a row! I don’t want to make excuses, but five of our last six games have been away from home.

In the 9th round of the Premier League on October 26, Liverpool lost 2-3 to Brentford in an away game. After the game, Slott bluntly said that he did not expect to lose four consecutive games in the league.

What are the reasons for the difference in Liverpool’s performance between this season and last season?

Sloter: "I have said many times that every team has adopted specific tactics and very good strategies against us, but we have not yet found a solution. We also always concede the goal in the first five minutes and fall behind 0-1, which undoubtedly makes the situation more difficult. It’s more difficult.

Even though we were in poor condition today, we were still able to score two goals and created far more sports opportunities than these two goals. However, we were unable to compete because we conceded too many goals. This cannot only be attributed to the defense, but to the needs of the defense. It takes 11 players to shoulder the responsibility.

Of course, this is also related to Xia Chuang's substantial lineup adjustments. Such fluctuations are not unexpected. But to be clear, I never expected to lose four games in a row.

If you make changes, there will definitely be some ups and downs. This is not unexpected, but after suffering 4 consecutive losses and 5 of the last 6 games being away games, I don’t know if this is an excuse. This (schedule) obviously doesn't help us when we're in this situation. ”
