"I missed the fighting spirit in the first 10 minutes after half-time. And then afterwards, it was just a game where both teams accepted it was 4-0. But in those 10-15 minutes of time, I missed the fighting spirit the willingness to win your duel, to be there first, to make it difficult for either a pass or a cross or a finish."
"The fighting spirit wasn't there enough, the mentality wasn't there enough, said the Liverpool midfielder. None of us were there as much as we could. That's a good question why. I don't know. It's hard to find words to be honest."
"We have to show now that we react after a loss like this and after so many disappointments we already had this season."
Liverpool suffered a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, leading to criticism of the team's fighting spirit. Manager Arne Slot expressed disappointment in the team's performance, particularly after halftime. Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick, contributing to Liverpool's 15th defeat of the season. Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai echoed Slot's sentiments, acknowledging the team's lack of mentality and fighting spirit. The loss has intensified scrutiny on Slot's future, especially with an upcoming Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain.
