Arne Slot’s attempts to deflect pressure by commenting on rival clubs are starting to backfire. The Dutchman has now overseen six defeats in Liverpool’s last seven matches, and his post-match remarks are drawing more attention than his tactics.
After a 3-0 Carabao Cup loss to Crystal Palace, Slot pointed out how Manchester City’s “best XI” featured no weekend starters and claimed he had to rely on “six teenagers.” He also highlighted Chelsea’s depth, implying Liverpool lack squad strength — despite the Reds spending £446 million last summer, a Premier League record.
Slot’s complaints about depth and fixture congestion don’t sit well when stars like Salah, Van Dijk, Szoboszlai, and Wirtz were rested. With Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and Man City up next, Slot’s words must now be backed by results.
