Liverpool lost 1-0 to Galatasaray in the Champions League for the second time this season, a huge indictment of Arne Slot’s performance this season. While a 1-0 deficit isn’t impossible to overturn especially with Liverpool heading back to Anfield, nothing they have showcased this season suggests they are capable of showing the character needed to overturn a European tie.

Arne Slot has major questions to answer Liverpool lost 1-0 to Galatasaray in September last year, and after tonight’s dire performance, it begs the question: how have Liverpool regressed even further? In September, Slot didn’t know what his best team was and that appears to remain the case.

Florian Wirtz was absent against Wolves for both ties last week and yet Slot decided it would be best to throw him into an intense game while out of position. It’s very difficult to explain the Dutchman’s decision, and at this stage of the season, it’s equally difficult to explain what his tactical philosophy is based on just watching the team.
