"I feel like I mention the infamous November PSV loss with every post I write. I apologize, but it was clearly a turning point. It's the last game Liverpool lost, marking the end of another 12-game span during which they won three and lost nine. While Slot deserves credit for putting an end to the Reds' losing habit, it seems to have come at the cost of a way of playing we can all get behind."
"The Burnley draw extended Liverpool's unbeaten run to 12 games. That sounds pretty good at first, but consider: Liverpool drew six of the 12 games. One point is a lot less than three points. One of those draws was against Arsenal at The Emirates. The others? Sunderland at home, Leeds away, Leeds at home, Fulham away, and Burnley at home."
Supporters' patience has run out as Liverpool under Arne Slot play slowly, producing draws and watching games that are hard to enjoy. A 1-1 draw with Burnley provoked boos and extended a 12-game unbeaten run that includes six draws. Six draws yield far fewer points than wins, including stalemates against lower-ranked teams. The team appears to prioritize safety and possession retention above rapid attacking or risk-taking. The November loss to PSV served as a turning point that stopped defeats but coincided with a shift toward cautious buildup play. The cautious approach reduced losing but sacrificed a compelling, sustainable way of playing.
