Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool, commented after the team’s 1-2 defeat to Crystal Palace in the sixth round of the Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the first half was very difficult. The opponent played well and deserved to take the lead at 1-0.
Unfortunately for us, we conceded only one goal. In the second half, the situation was reversed.
It took time to equalize, but then the opponent scored from a second set-piece and secured the victory. Slot emphasized that good balance in set-piece situations is necessary to compete in the English Premier League.
Last season, this was our strength. However, this season we have conceded goals twice against Newcastle and twice here as well.
The number of set-piece situations in the Premier League is increasing. Liverpool will play their next match away against Galatasaray in the Champions League on September 30.
