Slaughter: The team conceded too many goals and it was impossible to win. They didn’t even do the basics well.
6686 Sports News on October 26. After the Liverpool team lost 2-3 to Brentford and suffered a fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League, coach Slott accepted an interview and reflected on the team's performance.
About the overall performance of the game
“Another disappointing result and performance. As usual, conceding a goal in the first five minutes. Yes, it is very frustrating. We did not play well enough throughout the game, maybe only in the first half The 25 to 30 minutes in the middle were an exception. But during that period, we were already 0-1. We did have a chance to turn the situation around during that time."
"But looking at the entire game, whether it was the score, our performance, or the fighting will shown by Brentford, I think we were able to win. We had almost no real chances to score points, except in the last five or six minutes."
The team conceded too many goals
"We failed to keep a clean sheet again in the game and conceded three goals in a football match. This is too many and it is impossible. We can win. The first goal was conceded from the sideline, which was regrettable but also expected. The second goal was a counterattack, which is what they are good at, but we defended it very poorly and were completely unorganized, which made the comeback almost impossible.”
About the 12-yard ruling"This ruling is very controversial. At that time, the referee called a violation, but I am not sure whether he was ready to directly award 12 yards. Then the video referee intervened and determined that the violation occurred within the three-second zone, so he changed the ruling to 12 yards. I think The winning referee may have only wanted to give a free kick outside the three-second zone, but in the end the decision was changed because the video referee determined that it was "inside the three-second zone"."
About Salah's goal
"Salah finally broke him. In the Premier League's lack of goals in sports games, this is certainly a positive sign. Also worthy of recognition is Szoboszlai, who successfully intercepted the ball in the high position and created opportunities for goals."
About the team's competitive state and losing streak
" As the coach, I need to calmly analyze what we did wrong and what we did well. In today's game, I know very well what we need to improve-that is, the most basic aspects of the game. This is different from other defeats. There are reasons for the previous problems, but today, we did not even do the most basic things."
