"Arne Slot tried to inject a note of calm into Liverpool's fallout after a dramatic 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, but the result, a stoppage-time winner from Chelsea's 18-year-old Estevao Willian, only deepened the sense of urgency around a side now on a run of worrying late losses. While Slot repeatedly pointed to fine margins as the decisive factor, the pattern of late concessions and blunt attacking displays means the manager's reassurances may struggle to silence growing concern among supporters"
"Decision making could've been better, the last 10-15 minutes was end-to-end. Again it's fine margins like it's been for as long as I've been here. Last week, same as this week, two difficult away games, the fine margins haven't been in our favour. In both games we've created more chances than the team we have faced Crystal Palace and Chelsea"
Liverpool lost 2-1 at Stamford Bridge after an 18-year-old Estevao Willian scored a stoppage-time winner following Moises Caicedo's early strike and Cody Gakpo's second-half equaliser. Manager Arne Slot urged calm, stressing that fine margins decided the game and warning against panic. Slot pointed out that Liverpool created more chances than recent opponents but only scored once in two difficult away games while opponents scored twice. The team continue to concede late goals, display blunt attacking finishes and suffer defensive lapses, generating increasing worry among supporters and urgency for improvements.
