"The 4-0 thrashing marks the 15th defeat of the season for Slot, a staggering statistic for a side that lifted the Premier League trophy just twelve months ago."
"Liverpool have now lost 15 matches across all competitions this season, their most defeats in a single season since 2014/15, when the Reds lost 18 matches under Brendan Rodgers."

Liverpool's defensive issues were evident, with the team suffering its 15th defeat of the season and conceding 46 goals in the Premier League. This marks the most defeats in a single season since 2014/15, raising concerns about the team's performance and Slot's management.
