"Sunday's 2-1 home league defeat against Manchester United -- their first Anfield loss against United since January 2016 -- has put Liverpool on the brink of their worst run of results for 72 years and midfielder Szoboszlai said that Arne Slot's players have been trying to talk themselves out of the nosedive they have been in since a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace last month sparked their losing run."
""It never happened in my career but in a lot of guys' career they lost four in a row," Szoboszlai said. "We have to stick together, that's important. "We had a lot of meetings, we spoke with each other and the most important thing is we stay together -- it is the most important thing when it is a hard time. We are ready to show a reaction and that's what we're going to do.""
Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches across competitions, a sequence not recorded since September 1953. The run began after a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace and includes a 2-1 home loss to Manchester United, the first Anfield defeat by United since January 2016. Players have held multiple meetings to maintain unity and prepare a reaction, stressing the need to stick together. Liverpool hit the post three times against Manchester United and created chances. The Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt follows an away defeat at Galatasaray and a near four-hour flight delay caused by a technical error; a win in Frankfurt is seen as necessary to kick-start the season.
