Arne Slot spoke about the things needed to win games after the defeat in the FA Community Shield final on Sunday.

Liverpool’s loss against Crystal Palace on penalties has raised a few question marks about the club’s upcoming season.

Slot started with a 4-2-3-1 formation as expected, but the starting XI had some surprises.



Speaking to TNT Sports ahead of the 3 pm BST kick-off against Crystal Palace, Slot said: “Ryan Gravenberch became a dad last night.”

Also, Alexis Mac Allister didn’t start the match, as Slot had earlier mentioned that Macca couldn’t play a full game.

Liverpool’s No.10 came on as a substitute later and played 20 minutes.

However, all four of Liverpool’s major summer signings started the match against Palace.

The game ended 2-2 and went to penalties, where Liverpool lost 3-2.

Slot said: “We are conceding more chances at the moment.

Against Bilbao, we didn’t concede chances — just two set-pieces.”

He added: “I don’t think we conceded that much today, just two goals.

We have to make sure we are ready.”

Finally, he said: “We conceded two goals today, just like we did against Bilbao, and also a couple more against Milan.
