Arne Slot suggested that Liverpool's loss to Brentford was the worst out of the team's run of four successive Premier League defeats. "You cannot compare all of them (the losses) but the most concerning thing is that you lose four times in a row," Slot said.

They won more duels than us, they won more second balls than us and if you come here and you know if you are going to concede goals then one of them may be a set-piece and a counter-attack is also one of their biggest strengths and that's how we conceded two goals. After going 3-1 down we tried, made some substitutes but maybe if I am completely honest, them scoring at that moment in time was more likely than us to make it 3-2." It was another disappointing outing for Liverpool (Image: 2025 Mark Leech/Offside) Mohamed Salah scored a league goal from open play for the first time since the first game of the season, and Slot is hopeful that the strike will prove to be a turning point for the Egyptian, who has had a difficult start to the campaign.

"If Mo is going to go on a scoring run then that is definitely going to be important for the team," Slot said. "Football is about scoring goals but football is also about not conceding goals and for so many games now we have scored one, two, three goals and almost every time in the first five minutes.
