Slot Criticises 'Fighting Spirit' After Liverpool Loss

Liverpool coach Arne Slot addressed Dominik Szoboszlai's criticism of the team's fighting spirit after the 4-0 loss to Manchester City, acknowledging a drop in standards in the first 10 minutes after halftime.

Slot said he did not agree with Szoboszlai's assessment of the entire game but admitted the team lost fighting spirit in the first 10 minutes after the break, which he believes turned a difficult situation into a collapse.

He highlighted the quick unraveling after conceding and the need for sharper defense on throw-ins, and warned that mentality, duels and intensity must improve before the upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain.
