"While an improved performance following some tactical tweaks probably warranted a point for the Reds, they could not get the result over the line. However, there is no time to sulk as a Champions League trip to Istanbul awaits on Tuesday when Liverpool must face the reigning Turkish League champions, and current league leaders, Galatasaray. I've found three ways that Slot can get his side back on track when the action kicks off in Turkey."
"The first half against Palace exposed a flaw in Liverpool's current makeup as they were not the best side in the first 45 minutes of action. This is not exactly a new development as the Reds have not blown many teams away in the first portions of matches this season. They've been made to work and grind out the results, which they have done at an elite level to be fair."
Liverpool suffered a stoppage-time defeat at Selhurst Park, handing Arne Slot's side their first loss of the season. A tactical improvement merited at least a point, but the Reds failed to convert chances. A Champions League trip to Istanbul to face Galatasaray follows immediately. Three corrective priorities are proposed: begin matches aggressively to prevent the hosts building early momentum and the crowd becoming involved; seek an early goal or two to make the fixture more manageable; and rectify set-piece defending, which conceded both goals against Palace and also produced the only goal allowed against Southampton. Addressing those areas could restore form.
