"I'm almost annoyed if you say 'that approach'. The approach isn't different. We want to have the ball as often as possible and then get it back as often as possible, so we press high. It's never the approach that changes in the game. We bring enough players forward but we aren't converting enough chances."
"If you lose many times in the same manner, then it's more of a concern. The way we concede goals in these last minutes is not always similar, set-pieces, shots from outside back. They aren't big chances we are giving away. Is it our approach? Not too sure about that as we want to win that game."
"You see individual players getting better and better. Progress has had setbacks due to injuries. One of the players who creates is Wirtz. He got injured."
Liverpool suffered a devastating 2-1 defeat to Wolves, with Andre scoring in stoppage time. This marked the first time a relegation-zone team scored a 90th-minute or later winner against the reigning Premier League champions. Liverpool has now lost five Premier League games to such late goals this season, a record for any team in a single campaign. Manager Arne Slot rejected criticism of Liverpool's tactical approach, emphasizing the team maintains its philosophy of controlling possession and pressing high. Slot attributed the losses to missed chances and injuries, particularly highlighting the absence of Florian Wirtz as impacting creative opportunities. Liverpool faces Wolves again in an FA Cup fifth-round tie on Friday.
