"In the last two games we've lost, we've lost a few very simple balls and that adds to the thought, 'Wow, are we playing poor?' as we let ourselves down," said the Liverpool boss. "We were 2-0 up against Bournemouth (on the opening day), very, very, very good game, much better than we've played in the second half of the season.

If you talk about open play goals, we've done much better in the first part of this season than the second part of last season. "We've brought in a very different midfielder than we had [in the number 10 role] last season, which we think we needed because the amount of goals we found from open play in the first part of last season and the second part of last season, there's a big, big difference," he said.

"And teams played in a completely different way in the first half of the season against us than they did when we were top of the league after half of the season and when we were top of the Champions League. We have to find answers to that." Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.
