"Liverpool manager Arne Slot did not exactly make much of an effort to stick up for Ibrahima Konate after another poor performance against Leeds United. The France international has not been at his best this season, and was once again a real weak link in the team in Saturday evening's 3-3 draw at Elland Road. Konate conceded the penalty which allowed Leeds back into the game, and then surely could have done much better on Anton Stach's goal to make it 2-2."
"Speaking after the game, Slot admitted this is not the first time Konate seemed suspect on a goal Liverpool had conceded this season, which seems as clear a sign as any that the Dutch tactician is really losing patience with his player Arne Slot says Ibrahima Konate has been "a bit too much at the crime scene" this season. Is it time for Liverpool and Ibrahima Konate to go their separate ways?"
Ibrahima Konate produced another poor performance in Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Elland Road, conceding a penalty that allowed Leeds back into the match and failing to prevent Anton Stach's equaliser. Arne Slot did not defend Konate and admitted this was not the first time Konate had looked suspect on a conceded goal, suggesting growing impatience. Konate's form slump coincides with uncertainty over his contract, with only months remaining and transfer interest appearing to fade. Real Madrid reportedly no longer want Konate. Slot's public criticism could presage benching and increases the likelihood of Konate leaving at season's end.
