Liverpool Is To Blame For Dropped Points Against Bournemouth – Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that the club ran out of energy in their 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he and his players have themselves to blame for more dropped points in the EPL because the team clearly ran out of energy after Dominik’s equalizer.

Slot added that Joe Gomez tried to soldier on for the team, but he succumbed to his injury eventually.

His words, “It’s frustrating because it is always frustrating to concede a goal but especially if there is no time to get it back. But I think it is safe to say they could have made it 3-2 a little bit earlier. When we made it 2-2 we were still trying but I think it is safe to say a few players of ours ran out of energy.

I cannot even criticize them because two days ago we played away in Europe and we are the only team that played in the Champions League on Wednesday and has just two days in between, another away game against one of the most intense teams in the league.

I mainly, as you probably see, played the same players because of who we have available.

So then, what should not have happened if you have to win it in the end because then that is more difficult. That is what you saw in the last 10 minutes because the rest of it we dominated the game.

There has only been seven minutes where I wouldn’t even say we were struggling but where the other team was part of the game as well, and in those seven minutes we conceded two.

Of course, the second one was when we were down to 10 because after the first goal Joe Gomez had to go off with an injury. He wanted to try. He thought he could, but then he couldn’t.

And maybe that sums up our season. It’s every time something else. It’s every time something special how we concede. But we concede, and the only ones to blame are ourselves.”

WOW.

Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.

Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.

Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
