Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool, expressed frustration after his team's 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers, stating that it was the "same old story." This defeat marks Liverpool's ninth loss of the season in the Premier League, with five of those losses coming from goals scored after the 90th minute, a record in the competition's history. Slot emphasized that while Liverpool has been scoring more from set-pieces, they continue to struggle converting open play chances into goals, which has been consistent over the past several games.
Despite the loss, Liverpool remains in fifth place, but could drop to sixth if Chelsea beats Aston Villa on Wednesday. Slot acknowledged the setback, but remained optimistic, noting that there are still nine games left to play. He highlighted the team's poor performance in the first half, where they failed to capitalize on numerous set-piece opportunities, and praised Wolves for their relentless effort and luck in securing the win.
