Slot said he did not agree with Szoboszlai over the entire game but admitted a drop in intensity after Liverpool conceded, especially in the first 10 minutes after half‑time. He highlighted how quickly the team unraveled after a throw‑in, noting the need for sharper defense and a stronger mentality.
The coach stressed that the squad is aware of the issues and that the upcoming match against Paris Saint‑Germain will demand immediate improvement in duels and overall intensity.
