Same old story for Slot as Wolves keep fighting Arne Slot’s frustration with Liverpool’s recent performances in the Premier League remained evident after his side’s 2-1 defeat to Wolves, a result that felt all too familiar. The Liverpool manager had already criticized the league’s lack of excitement earlier in the week, and his comments after the match confirmed his growing concerns. Despite a valiant effort from Wolves, who secured a dramatic 94th-minute winner through Andre, Liverpool’s inability to capitalize on their dominance and avoid late setbacks continued to haunt them. The match at Molineux highlighted the stark contrast between the two teams. While Wolves, sitting at the bottom of the table, displayed relentless energy and composure, Liverpool’s away supporters were noticeably absent, underscoring the gulf in form. For Slot, the loss deepened his worries about his team’s inconsistency, particularly in crucial moments. He acknowledged that dropping points to lower-ranked opponents was a recurring issue, citing recent defeats to Villa and Arsenal as examples. “Same old story,” he said, emphasizing the need for improvement. Liverpool’s struggles extended beyond the final whistle. The team’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed again, with a late goal from Wolves sealing a result that felt inevitable. Captain Virgil van Dijk admitted the team’s approach was predictable and sloppy, noting that their failure to create opportunities left them vulnerable to the opposition’s late surge. “We didn’t concede chances, but if you perform like that, a result like this can happen,” he said, expressing disappointment. Wolves’ victory marked a historic milestone for the club.#liverpool #wolves #arne_slot #robert_edwards #rodrigo_gomes
