What Liverpool Did in 100th Minute Spoke Volumes as Alarming Arsenal Possibility Emerges
Liverpool struggles against Brentford’s direct play highlight tactical issues and underperformance after a £450 million summer overhaul, risking a 10-point gap behind Arsenal, analysts say.
- On Wednesday, Liverpool lost 3-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium to Brentford, with Mohamed Salah striking a wonderful, instinctive effort to reduce the deficit and spark a late rally.
- A big-spending summer costing around £450m left Liverpool with major turnover, and Arne Slot faces his biggest crisis after an emergency meeting following last week's 2-1 loss to Manchester United.

- Coaches at the AXA Training Centre have centred analysis meetings on how to combat Brentford's long-ball and long-throw tactics, while analysts say the cracks are on full display requiring a rescaling of summer ambitions this year.
