""It is such an amazing feeling for Adam scoring in front of the Kop," Hourihane said. "Liverpool fan, coming through the academy; it's something he can look back on for the rest of his life and say he did that. Not many people can say that. "But it was a little bit disrespectful from their player, to be honest. I don't think he does that against Chelsea or Arsenal or in a Champions League game. Delighted for Adam, but disrespectful from their player's point of view.""
""I have my opinion about that which I'm definitely going to share with him," Slot said. "It's not the first time -- and now I'm talking generally -- that we are 2-0 up, there are no problems in the game and then we concede a sloppy or an easy goal. This one stands out -- even for us!""
Liverpool defeated Barnsley 4-1 at Anfield, with Dominik Szoboszlai opening the scoring and Jeremie Frimpong adding a second. Szoboszlai then miscued a backheel clearance inside his own penalty area, enabling Adam Phillips to halve the deficit shortly before half-time. Barnsley head coach Conor Hourihane praised Phillips for scoring in front of the Kop but described Szoboszlai's attempt as disrespectful, suggesting the player would not attempt it against top opponents. Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed frustration, saying the error made the second half nervy and criticizing the team for conceding easy goals when leading.
