The previous day, the “Reds” lost to PSV (1:4) in the Champions League. Since September 27, Arne Slott’s team has lost 9 of 12 matches.
“Every defeat, especially this one, brings the team closer to problems. I don’t like the word “crisis” because for me it’s a situation where a club needs a year to get back to the top and Liverpool are not at that stage yet.
The team still has great players, many of whom have won championships. Therefore, the word “crisis” sounds too strong. But what is happening now is clearly not enough. There are no excuses for such results at this club. Everyone understands that.
However, the word “crisis” is too strong and can sound dismissive of the successful players and the coach. If it happened half a year to a year later, and the club would be further from its goals, then this word might be suitable.
It cannot be denied that the team is going through serious difficulties: form is low, the confidence of the players is at an all-time low and the problems continue.
The team concedes goals, plays too openly. If the coach does not find a solution and does not stabilize the game, the situation can remain like this,” said Gerrard.
