Arsenal manager Renee Slegers expressed her disappointment after the team's unexpected 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Liverpool. Despite being favorites, Arsenal failed to find their rhythm and were under constant pressure throughout the match. Slegers noted the team’s lack of quality with the ball, contributing to their inability to capitalize on possession. With significant WSL matches upcoming, she emphasized the importance of resetting and improving their performance to stay competitive, particularly with Manchester City closing in on them in the league standings.
We knew it was going to be a hard game. [Liverpool] have a style of play that asks you questions. We felt that we were under pressure a lot in the game.
For us, the Arsenal way is being good on the ball. That's very important for us. We just didn't have the quality that we usually do on the ball.
A couple of circumstances and stoppages don't allow us the rhythm, but that starts with our basics and the quality on the ball.
The girls are very disappointed at the moment and they might be tomorrow as well. They wanted so much more. But then we'll just reset and go again.
