Liverpool Head Coach Discusses Champions League Away Match
Slot Questions Fixture Schedule After Tough Away Journey
Arne Slot acknowledged that his Liverpool team lost momentum in their defeat to Bournemouth, following Amine Adli’s last-minute goal, which marked their first defeat since November. Liverpool had come back from a 2-0 deficit thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s remarkable free-kick, but Bournemouth responded strongly, with Adli scoring the winner from a long throw in the dying moments.
The Liverpool manager believed referee Michael Salisbury should have allowed more stoppage time in the second half, considering the substitutions and VAR reviews, but admitted he was concerned about a possible Bournemouth winner. “I think it is safe to say they could have scored 3-2 a little bit earlier,” Slot mentioned, referring to opportunities for Bournemouth’s Evanilson and Ryan Christie. “Some of our players were exhausted, and I can’t even blame them for it because two days ago [three], we played an away match. We’re the only Champions League team with two games in between.”
