"As a manager you constantly face challenges, said Slot. When you start and you need to win games, when you go to a bigger club, when you are the successor of Jurgen Klopp and people are saying: This is the biggest challenge you have ever faced.' Now we have lost four times in a row and that is also a challenge. The life of a football manager is also an ongoing challenge. But do we lose confidence? I can not see that yet because every game we've lost we were able to create in the second half an unbelievable amount of chances. If we can keep producing what we are doing and maybe do a few things a little bit better, then there is every reason to expect that we will win football games again."
"Arne Slot said he faces a challenge to lift Liverpool after Manchester United triumphed at Anfield for the first time in more than nine years to inflict a fourth successive defeat on the faltering Premier League champions. The Liverpool head coach blamed wastefulness in front of goal and more set-piece lapses from his team for their latest reverse, as Ruben Amorim savoured the first back-to-back league wins of his United reign. Harry Maguire, whose 84th-minute header secured victory, admitted it was embarrassing that United had taken 51 games to achieve that statistic under Amorim."
"Cody Gakpo struck the woodwork three times and missed a gilt-edged opportunity to head home a second equaliser in the 87th minute."
Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, the club's first win there in more than nine years, with Harry Maguire scoring an 84th-minute header. Liverpool created numerous clear chances but wasted opportunities, with Cody Gakpo hitting the woodwork three times and missing a late headed chance to equalise. Wastefulness in front of goal and repeated set-piece lapses underpinned the defeat. The result completed a run of four consecutive losses for the reigning champions, following defeats by Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea. The head coach faces a significant challenge to revive form and address finishing and defensive organisation.
