Despite creating scoring opportunities, Liverpool has struggled to compete due to conceding too many goals. Slot emphasized that this is not solely a defensive issue, but rather a team effort that involves all 11 players.

Slot attributed the team's struggles to the significant changes made during the summer transfer window. He acknowledged that it's not surprising that the team is experiencing a bumpy period, but he did not expect the team to suffer four consecutive losses.

Slot also noted that the team's recent schedule, with five of the last six games being away matches, has not been helpful in their current form.
