Arne Slot emphasized that Liverpool's defeat to Fulham was not due to complacency but rather first-half defensive errors, allowing three goals in quick succession. After taking an early lead, the team struggled to maintain their advantage, ending a long unbeaten streak in the Premier League. Slot acknowledged their strong second-half performance but stressed the need for hard work to secure future victories. The loss showcased vulnerabilities in Liverpool's defense, especially since it was their first instance of conceding three first-half goals after scoring first.
It wasn't 45 minutes of disaster, but the errors we made were something we're not used to. There's no reason for us to be complacent.
It takes us so much hard work to win the games, and everyone can see that. We are fully aware of the fact we have to compete for seven more games.
Many teams find it difficult to play Fulham. The second half performance was outstanding. We had chances, but in the end, we lacked time.
We showed on Wednesday [against Everton], that was a close call and today was too. We were on the right side of that then and the wrong side today.
