"Against Bournemouth, we were too open, and we missed Ryan [Gravenberch] in midfield and they scored two counter goals. Atlético didn't score twice on the transition, so you cannot compare. It is not ideal if we have a two-goal lead three times and give it away, so we need to improve, as many other things we need to improve. But the positive thing about it is if we feel the urgency again, we are able to score a goal."
"This is definitely something we talk about. You can run out of steam or energy at the end of the season if you mentally and physically have you have to go all the way to the end all the time in games, so it is never a good idea to keep on doing this but if we need it, I still hope we can do it."
Arne Slot has called on the team to improve despite being unbeaten and yet to trail this season. Liverpool sit top of the Premier League after winning their first four matches and opened their Champions League campaign with a 3-2 victory over Atlético Madrid. All victories so far have been secured by winners after the 83rd minute, and the team has surrendered a two-goal lead on three occasions. Slot warned this pattern could cause mental and physical drain late in the season. Liverpool host Everton at Anfield with Curtis Jones back in training and a fully fit squad.
