Ibrahima Konate‘s carelessness triggered another Liverpool collapse, and Arne Slot accurately described the defender as being “a bit too much at the crime scene.” Konate’s season has been riddled with individual errors and on seven occasions this season has been subbed off, the majority of the time while Liverpool have been left to chase a result. The Frenchman’s high-profile mistakes have not been enough to keep him out of the starting lineup as there are few options to replace him, a huge regret from the summer.

In his post-match press conference, Slot was asked how concerned he was about Konate’s form. He said, “Unfortunately for him, he does a lot of things well, but he has been a bit too much at the crime scene, that is something I’ve heard people saying before in England.

“So that means that he’s been involved in goals we’ve conceded, but if you are a centre-back that happens in football. “A lot of people will say that’s correct, but these same people should look at some games we’ve played this season where the VAR didn’t come in moments like this.” You cannot argue the intervention of VAR and Slot cannot hide from the fact that his player was reckless in his decision to give the Leeds attacker the opportunity to go down under contact.
