Thoughts on the game? <\/b>\u201cAnother time disappointing. Disappointing result and performance today as well. Another time conceding in five minutes. So, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another game without a clean sheet:<\/b> \u201cConceding three goals is far too much if you want to win a game of football. The first one is a set piece, if you concede goals it\u2019s something you might expect. Second goal counter attacks something they are very good at it, not that we defended it well at all. In the second half, a penalty made it hardly impossible to get a result.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thoughts on the penalty? <\/b>\u201cDifficult, the referee gave a free kick. I\u2019m not sure if he would\u2019ve given a penalty for that but then the VAR says it\u2019s inside, so it\u2019s overturned for a penalty. I don\u2019t think the referee was planning to give a penalty but then it turned out to be inside.<\/p>\n
Mohamed Salah ends his open play goal drought in the PL: <\/b>\u201cAlways positive that he scores a goal. Good moment for Dominik Szoboszlai as well who won the ball out of the high press.\u201d<\/p>\n
How do you react to this losing run: <\/b>\u201cWhat I have to do is look at what we do wrong and what we do well. Today I do have a clear idea of what we have to improve. That\u2019s not been the situation in other games we have lost, it\u2019s been some different each time. Today we didn\u2019t do the basics well. That was the main thing that we have to improve looking at this game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Virgil van Dijk reaction \u2014 On losing streak, failing to keep clean sheets, controversial penalty<\/p>\n
How are you feeling?<\/b> \u201cDisappointed for losing here. Obviously we knew what the strengths were and what they\u2019d try to do. The first goal is something we knew. The second goal, the penalty \u2014 listen it was just a very disappointing night overall. It\u2019s tough to take but it\u2019s reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the reality that we lost today. That\u2019s the only thing. We have a next game Wednesday against an opponent that\u2019s already made our life difficult this season. We have to turn our mind quickly because they come here trying to give us more pain. This was not a nice evening to have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thoughts on the penalty?<\/b> \u201cThe referee said the ball was on the line but then he put the spot two meters outside the box so I didn\u2019t know what was going on. In the end obviously he gives it and that\u2019s not great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nine-straight games without a clean sheet. What\u2019s wrong?<\/b> \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to say. The fact is that we didn\u2019t keep a clean sheet for nine games. It\u2019s easy to blame a particular person but it\u2019s a collective. We have to all look in the mirror. I\u2019m sure we will get out of this but we don\u2019t get out of it by talking. We\u2019ll try to improve. It\u2019s not that we\u2019re doing nothing in training or behind the scenes but it\u2019s tough at the moment. We need each other. We need to support. We need the people who celebrated with us last season to be with us now even more. I\u2019m very confident we\u2019ll get out of this offensively and defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool manager Arne Slot saw his side lose just four Premier League matches on their way to last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,6,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-145296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-latest-news","17":"tag-latestnews","18":"tag-main-news","19":"tag-mainnews","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-top-stories","22":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115437231346474727","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
