Gary Neville grew frustrated with Ibrahima Konate during Liverpool's loss to Chelsea (Image: Sky Sports)Gary Neville has criticised Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate for his lack of urgency on the ball during the Reds' late 2-1 defeat to Chelsea - and Arne Slot appeared to agree with the Sky Sports pundit's criticism. He accused Konate of lacking urgency, with the former Manchester United player saying as co-commentator: "If you watch Konate on the ball at the start of the second half, he is just walking with it."It's frustrating me and annoying me to be honest with you.

It's obviously annoying Slot as well because he has decided he is going to get somebody who is better on the ball at the back."That is strange from Konate. And I asked him, and he said, 'I feel my quad a little bit.'"But for me all alarm bells go off because in another sprint then you never know if that is going to go good, so it was already a substitution I had in mind for maybe a little bit later, because the right centre-back has a lot of ball possession, and we all know that Ryan is good in there.Ibrahima Konate went off with an injury at Stamford Bridge (Image: Getty)"So it might be okay and he went off early enough, but it was clear that I had to take him off because he was limping."Slot's tactical alterations had an almost immediate effect and Liverpool discovered their tempo and established a stronghold in the match.

Trending "After we scored 1-1 it went our way and I think I was waiting for us to score the second. Decision-making could've been better, last 10-15 minutes was end-to-end."We arrived in their 18-yard box with [Andy] Robertson, we couldn't control the ball but again it's fine margins like it's been for as long as I've been here.
