"It's the same old story. Recently, we were picking up points because we've scored from set-pieces many times, but what did not change in the last five, six or seven games is that we have found it very hard to score from open play. The end result is we score one, and they score two, and indeed, another goal conceded in extra time."
"What I mean by, 'It sums up the season,' is that we've had far more possession than the other team, we've created more chances, but from open play we struggled to score."
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Wolves at Molineux despite dominating possession and expected goals (1.8 to 0.4). Mohamed Salah equalized Rodrigo Gomes' opener, but Andre's deflected shot in the 90th minute secured Wolves' victory. This marks Liverpool's fifth Premier League loss from 90th-minute goals this season, the most by any team in a single campaign. Arne Slot criticized his team's inability to convert chances from open play, noting they've relied on set-piece goals recently. The defeat prevented Liverpool from moving level with Manchester United and Aston Villa in the top-four race.
