Liverpool manager Arne Slot has urged his team to avoid being outworked in the upcoming Merseyside derby against Everton. Following a lackluster performance in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United, Slot held a meeting to stress the importance of effort. He acknowledged possible mistakes in his squad rotation leading up to the Newcastle match but asserted that the team's struggles transcended mere energy levels. Slot highlighted that while lapses can occur, consistent underperformance is unacceptable and recognizes Newcastle's effective tactics in their success against Liverpool.
The message is as simple as it has always been: don't accept you are outworked by a team, which we were against Newcastle.
It can happen in a season once or twice but it shouldn't happen many times.
Maybe I made the biggest mistake by not rotating enough. I thought there were five days in between for Newcastle.
We have to give credit to everything Newcastle did because, in the end, we conceded from a corner.
