The biggest concern for Arne Slot’s team is their ongoing disjointed performances, typified by going behind in six consecutive matches and failing to deal with set pieces. They conceded a nightmare opener after only five minutes from a throw-in, with Dango Ouattara scoring.
Liverpool’s goal just before halftime, scored by Milos Kerkez, angered Brentford as it came after the indicated stoppage time. The decisive third goal was a controversial penalty converted by Igor Thiago after VAR deemed a foul on Ouattara occurred “on the line.”
Slot called it one of the worst displays of his tenure and admitted the team hasn’t found an answer to opposing teams’ playing styles, suggesting more short-term pain is likely.
