"What I like about top players is they don't do anything differently if they win three in a row," "They don't walk into the building thinking they are better than everyone else. They prepare every game in the same way, whether they win or lose. But the outside world is very focused on results, which we are as well. We don't deny that we need to do better."
"We've played 10, won seven and lost three. The three losses were by close margins. Twice in the last minutes, both teams got a penalty; both times, VAR should have overturned the decision. But only the one we got was overturned, so the margins are small. But as I keep saying, we should not be dependent on such margins. Results don't lie. If you lose three in a row, then you have to do better. We are aware of that, and we have to react."
Liverpool began the league season strongly with late goals but then suffered consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace and Chelsea and a Champions League loss to Galatasaray. The team are on a three-game losing run under Arne Slot for the first time since his appointment and could fall as far as four points behind the leaders by weekend’s end. Slot stresses consistent preparation, accepts the need for improvement, and points to small margins in recent defeats involving late penalties and VAR decisions. The attack looks different this season, with Alexander Isak yet to score in the Premier League and Mohamed Salah below last season's heights.
