""It feels like [Liverpool have been unlucky], that's for sure," Slot said. "Even if we sign a player and he's not even playing for us, he gets injured. Sometimes it feels like that, but the moment you start to feel it's all bad luck, it probably comes to you as well. So, we should keep it away as much as possible and focus on the performance and what we can do to improve it.""
""But the amount of times we conceded late goals in [added] time is far more than usual. The question is: is it bad luck or are we to blame? "I've tried many different things; I've made defensive substitutions and the ball went in, I've kept playing the same players and the ball went in. We've tried a lot. I can fairly say we haven't been lucky, that is definitely true.""
Jeremy Jacquet will join Liverpool from Rennes at the end of the season but has suffered a shoulder setback that will keep him sidelined until then. Liverpool have multiple defensive options out injured, forcing midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai to play at right-back; Szoboszlai is now suspended. Liverpool have conceded an unusually high number of late goals and suffered a dramatic defeat to Manchester City that left the club sixth in the Premier League. The club reached an agreement for Jacquet to join ahead of 2026-27, subject to a work permit and international clearance. The manager questioned whether recent problems are bad luck or systemic.
