Liverpool star coach Arne Slot appeared in a press statement after the loss against Manchester United 2-1 in the eighth round of the Premier League.

The coach said: "When you face a team like United that plays with a deep defense and long balls, you know the match will be difficult, and it becomes harder when you concede a goal just a minute in."

He added: "There are no excuses. We had to score from the many chances we had, and we should have defended better than we did."

He emphasized: "I made substitutions to change the course of the match, and we succeeded in creating more chances, but we lost our defensive organization on set pieces."

Regarding the four consecutive losses: "It is a difficult moment because we know how things go in football. The most important thing now is for the players to stay united."

He concluded about Mohamed Salah's performance: "It is natural after matches like this for the focus to be on some players. We were talking about the new signings, and now everyone will talk about him."
