The Sky Sports pundit admitted he was annoyed with the defender's lack of urgency, but the Reds boss revealed that was not why he substituted him off.The Premier League champions were heading for a share of the spolis but succumbed to a devastating 96th-minute strike from Estevao to leave Stamford Bridge empty-handed.However, Liverpool's troubles began well before Chelsea's dramatic winner. The former Manchester United man said on Sky Sports: "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.

He explained post-match: "I don't know if it's a big injury, but I do know that he limped."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."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 switches had an almost instant impact, as Liverpool found their rhythm and gained a foothold in the match. Slot said: "Last season we lost against Chelsea as well."Stamford Bridge is always difficult.

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.
