US EditionArne Slot Makes Liverpool Defending Admission After Community Shield Loss - 'It Maybe Needs' - Liverpool Echo
MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, AUG 10 – Arne Slot highlights defensive weaknesses after Liverpool conceded 10 goals in five pre-season matches despite strong attacking improvements, emphasizing urgent need for reinforcements.
- Liverpool were defeated by Crystal Palace in the Community Shield match at Wembley on August 10, following a 2-2 draw in regular time and a 3-2 loss in the penalty shootout.
- This defeat came amid concerns about Liverpool's defending, with manager Arne Slot admitting the team conceded too many goals before the new Premier League season.
- Liverpool started with four summer signings including Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong, but defensive errors, particularly by Kerkez, contributed to the two conceded goals.
- Slot acknowledged that his team allowed two goals in the recent match, a pattern that had also been evident during their pre-season game against Athletic Bilbao, and emphasized the importance of making defensive improvements despite stronger offensive displays.
- Liverpool will start their Premier League campaign on August 15 with a home match against Bournemouth, as Slot anticipates the team will gradually strengthen their defensive performance.
