‘I noticed major issue Liverpool boss Arne Slot must fix from Man Utd and Tottenham games’

Liverpool: It’s been a rough patch for the Reds lately. They’ve hit a snag under Arne Slot, with two games without a win. The recent loss to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup has fans a bit worried.

Sure, it’s not time to hit the panic button just yet. They’ve got Accrington Stanley coming up in the FA Cup, so there’s a good chance they’ll bounce back. But that draw against Manchester United and the loss to Spurs? That’s a big drop from their earlier form.

Frustrations were clear on the pitch. Virgil van Dijk was seen having a word with his teammates about their defensive lapses. There were too many unforced errors, and the team just didn’t seem to have control. Alexis Mac Allister mentioned they couldn’t dominate United like before, and Conor Bradley felt they could’ve done better against Spurs.

Let’s not forget how well United and Tottenham pressed them. But honestly, Liverpool just didn’t look sharp in those matches. The stats show a dip in shots and chances created, but nothing too alarming for Slot.

What’s concerning is the lack of attacking threat from midfield. In their previous three games, they scored 14 goals, but that firepower was missing against United and Spurs. Curtis Jones, who usually plays a key role, didn’t manage a single shot or create any chances in the Carabao Cup match.

Against United, he had an expected assist of just 0.02 and only four passes into the final third. Szoboszlai was also absent due to illness, which didn’t help matters. It’s too easy to blame Jones, but without that midfield creativity, the team struggles.

Both Jones and Szoboszlai have been great this season, and Slot needs them back in form for the tough matches ahead against Nottingham Forest, Brentford, and Lille. Two games without a win isn’t a disaster, especially since it took until the new year for Slot to face this challenge. But he knows how quickly things can go south, so getting that midfield back on track is crucial.
