Liverpool manager Arne Slot has acknowledged the urgent need to address the team’s alarming slump after a 3-2 defeat to Brentford marked their fourth consecutive Premier League loss. The defending champions, who started the season strongly, have been derailed by a series of setbacks, including defeats to Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Manchester United. Slot admitted that opponents have identified effective strategies against his side, leaving Liverpool struggling to regain their form. The loss at Brentford was particularly concerning, as the team conceded early and failed to counter the hosts’ physicality and set-piece prowess. Despite significant summer investments in players like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, Liverpool have looked a shadow of the team that clinched their record-equalling 20th league title last season. Slot emphasized the challenges of integrating new players and the demanding schedule, which included five away games in their last six matches. Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, now with Brentford, expressed confidence in his former club’s ability to recover, citing their quality and experience. However, Slot remains under pressure to find solutions quickly as Liverpool aim to turn their season around.
