There is a difficult list of fixtures ahead for his side, with Real Madrid and Manchester City upcoming, which seems to be one of the main reasons he decided to field a team made up of talent from the age of 22 and below.In this team, there seem to be no signs that there will be many changes when it comes to fixing the issues that have taken hold, but they will need to be solved as soon as possible if Liverpool are to maintain a solid league position.Photo by PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty ImagesGabriel Agbonlahor tells Arne Slot to stop some of his post-match commentsWhat has not really softened the blow for fans and supporters alike is the comments from the Dutch manager post-match, with many of his words amounting to his belief that his side are showing positive signs.They are difficult comments to take when the team as a unit is not performing well on the pitch in the slightest and not providing the one thing any fans want – entertainment.READ MORE: Stephen Warnock is bang on about Milos Kerkez after what he did in Liverpool’s defeat to Crystal PalaceHow Slot has spoken in these media appearances has caught the attention of Gabriel Agbonlahor, who has told the manager to stop these comments after the quip he made about Chelsea’s squad.Speaking to talkSPORT, Agbonlahor said: “You know what he (Arne Slot) has got to stop doing now, some of his interviews that he is having, he is coming out with some whoppers.

Yesterday he says, ‘We have not got a big squad like Chelsea’.“Well, you have spent £420 million, why haven’t you? No one is going to feel sorry for you when the amount of money you have spent as a Liverpool manager.”It may be true that he does not have as big a squad, but the former Aston Villa player is right in what he is saying because the complaint does not stack up given they had that amount of money at their disposal.Gabriel Agbonlahor brands Liverpool conceding record as ‘unacceptable’It was not the only thing that the ex-player had some gripes about when it came to his decisions and also the record of his defenders.One of the main concerns this season has been the defensive fragility of the side, considering the talent that is in the backline.Agbonlahor pointed to the goals conceded record in the Premier League as ‘unacceptable’ given their ability.He explained: “What I felt that he did wrong is 10 changes he could have made, five or six player changes, and still had more experienced players to help the young players.

You cannot go and throw so many young players on the starting team and the bench, they need a bit more help from the senior players.“But I look at Liverpool, 14 goals conceded in the Premier League, only five teams have conceded more than that, that is Liverpool we are talking about with Konate, Alisson, van Dijk, it is unacceptable.”The decisions of Slot, paired with the form of the team, are becoming an increasing concern among fans only because there are no signs that it will turn around anytime soon.
