Liverpool lose 9th of season in 'same old story,' Slot says

"Same old story. Recently, we are picking up points because we score many times from set-pieces, but what didn't change in the last five, six seven games is that we struggle and find it very hard to score from open play chances that we do create. Not as much as I would like from all the ball possession we have, but enough and far more than the other team."

"We have had far more possession than the other team, we have created more in open play in general than the other team, but have struggled to score from open play. Recently we have scored a lot from set-pieces. Again we had a lot of set-pieces, but in the first half were very poorly taken."

"That has happened to us so many times this season. That it happened in injury time may be a coincidence, although it has happened so many times. We hardly created a chance and they scored from a deflection."

Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, conceding a deflected strike in the 94th minute. This loss represents Liverpool's fifth goal conceded after the 90th minute this season, the most by any team in a single Premier League campaign. Manager Arne Slot attributed the loss to a recurring pattern: Liverpool dominated possession and created chances from open play but struggled to convert them, while conceding late goals. Despite recent success scoring from set-pieces, Liverpool's inability to finish open-play opportunities and defensive vulnerabilities in injury time continue to define their season.
