Slot Responds to Szoboszlai on Liverpool's Lack of Fighting Spirit

Following Liverpool’s 4‑0 loss to Manchester City, Arne Slot replied to Dominik Szoboszlai’s post‑match comments on the team’s lack of fighting spirit. Slot admitted that while the first half was competitive, a 10‑minute period after the break saw a drop in intensity that contributed to the collapse, echoing Szoboszlai’s own admission of missing mentality.

The coach highlighted that the team’s failure to defend sharply after conceding, especially during quick transitions, was a key factor. With Virgil van Dijk also acknowledging responsibility, the dressing room is aware of the issues, and Slot stresses that mentality, duels and intensity must improve before the upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain.
