This was no hard luck story and the statistics are grim - 18 defeats, 2pts out of 24 away to teams in the top half, & losing home/away to both Manchester clubs for the first time since 1912-13. A bad day for Slot as the same old issues blight Liverpool. nytimes.com/athletic/72503…

"I struggle to think of a time at Anfield, certainly when Liverpool haven't got beat, where I've found watching the side more infuriating." "That was about as fractious and sanity testing as I've seen a Liverpool performance." Post-Match Show 🔜

Slot asked whether he believes he can win back the support of fans: "Yes, I believe I can. I'm 100 per cent convinced we will be a different team next season."
