Liverpool manager demands more stoppage time after 3-2 loss
Liverpool manager, the Dutchman Arne Slot, expressed his satisfaction with his team’s comeback from a two-goal deficit to a 2-2 draw during Saturday evening’s match, considering that his team performed brilliantly and that he did not believe they deserved to be trailing by two goals. Slot noted that the match became open after his team’s comeback, with opportunities arising for both sides.
In this context, the Dutch manager pointed out that Bournemouth created more chances than Liverpool during the match, but he was not surprised by this, as his team had played a match just two days prior in Marseille. He also noted that the players had played the last 4 to 10 matches with the same starting lineup, causing them to feel exhausted in the final stages of games, which happened again today.
Slot touched upon the need to re-evaluate the team’s performance, explaining that the match was more open than necessary as both teams sought to score, and that better opportunities fell to the visitors in the last 10 minutes, leading them to score the winning goal from a throw-in.
The manager mentioned his meeting with the officiating crew after the match, pointing out that the game deserved more than four minutes of stoppage time due to numerous stoppages, noting that the execution of one free kick took about three minutes, aside from stoppages caused by VAR intervention.
Slot concluded his remarks by emphasizing that playing with ten men before the visitors scored their second goal, and the period that followed, was the only time they faced real problems, and that in the end, they lost another match.
This loss doubles the pressure on Slot ahead of two consecutive home matches for Liverpool against Qarabag in the Champions League and then Newcastle United in the next round of the Premier League.
