⚽ Match Recap
Arne Slot pinpointed a change in approach from opponents as a factor in the struggles of his Premier League champions this season.
But after this wretched night at Brentford, it seems time to look closer to home. Despite the narrow 3–2 defeat, Brentford were clearly superior in every aspect of the game.
Had Liverpool somehow rescued a point, it would have been nothing short of grand larceny.
π Slot’s Tactical Concern
The Dutch manager highlighted the number of long balls and deep-lying defensive strategies used by opponents as key reasons behind Liverpool’s poor run.
However, Slot must now address the internal issues — as his players looked vulnerable, flat, and exposed throughout the match.
> “We have to deal with teams playing long, direct football — but we also need to improve our own intensity,” Slot said post-match.
π Historical Low
Liverpool have now lost as many Premier League games this season as in their entire title-winning campaign.
They’ve become only the fourth reigning champions to lose four consecutive league games — after:
Leicester (2016–17, 5 losses)
Liverpool (2020–21, 4 losses)
Manchester City (last season, 4 losses)
This is also their first four-game losing streak since February 2021, marking a worrying trend for the reigning champions.
π₯ What’s Next for Liverpool?
Arne Slot must now find the solution within his own squad. Fans are growing restless after four straight defeats, and the pressure is on ahead of their next Premier League fixture.
The road ahead demands renewed focus, tactical adjustments, and perhaps some bold squad changes to bring the Reds back on track.
π’ Fan Reactions
Social media is filled with frustration, disappointment, and concern. Supporters are demanding accountability and urging the team to rediscover the spirit that once made them champions.
