Liverpool manager Arne Slot speaking to BBC Match Of The Day after the defeat to Chelsea: <\/b>“If you play at Stamford Bridge and create as many chances as we did today that is something positive we take. We conceded two goals in both games [against Palace last week and Chelsea today], the only chance they had in the first half – maybe you should compliment them – unfortunately we couldn’t score.”<\/b><\/p>\n
On Ibrahima Konate:<\/b> “Not 100% sure if he’s injured, he felt his quad and if a player feels his quad when he’s running then alarm bells go on for me. If the game had gone on like this I would’ve taken him off later anyway because we needed Ryan [Gravenberch] in that position. The main reason was he felt his quad but we wanted Ryan in that position at 1-0. That worked well with us being dominant in that part of the game.<\/p>\n
“After we scored 1-1 it went our way and I think I was waiting for us to score the second. Decision making could’ve been better, last 10-15 minutes was end-to-end. We arrived in their 18-yard box with [Andy] Robertson, we couldn’t control the ball but again it’s fine margins like it’s been for as long as I’ve been here. Last week, same as this week two difficult away games, the fine margins haven’t been in our favour.<\/p>\n
“In both games we’ve created more chances than the team we have faced – Palace and Chelsea – but the truth is that we have only scored once in both games and our opponent has scored twice.”<\/p>\n
