Slot Criticizes Own Team's Spirit After City Loss

Slot said he did not fully agree with midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai’s assessment of the whole match but conceded a key drop in standards after the break. He highlighted how the team fell apart after conceding, especially at throw‑ins, and admitted they missed the ‘fighting spirit’ needed in the first ten minutes of the second half.

Senior players like Virgil van Dijk echoed the sentiment, acknowledging responsibility. The dressing room is now aware of the issues, and Slot has warned that intensity and duels must improve immediately as Liverpool prepare for their next match against Paris Saint‑Germain.
