Slot Criticizes Own Team After Man City Loss

Liverpool coach Arne Slot admitted the team missed fighting spirit in a key 10‑minute spell after the break, following criticism from midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.

Slot said he didn’t agree with the criticism over the whole game but acknowledged standards dropped after Liverpool conceded. He highlighted that the team were competitive early but lost momentum after a quick goal, struggling in transition moments.

He singled out the first 10‑15 minutes after the half‑time break as the moment the fighting spirit slipped, urging the squad to raise intensity for the upcoming Paris Saint‑Germain match. Van Dijk also admitted responsibility, showing the dressing‑room is aware of the issues.
