According to Al Jazeera, this is the first time since 2021 that Liverpool lost four straight matches.

Slot reacts after Liverpool's defeat
Speaking after the match, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said the team is yet to find a solution to their struggles.
The Dutch manager said the Reds conceded too many goals, which is not good for the team.
"Quite a few things. It is definitely that teams have a certain playing style against us; it is a very good strategy to play. We have not found an answer yet.
"Going 1-0 down does not help after five minutes. We are still, even today, when we don't play well, able to score two goals."
According to Daily Mail, Slot noted that the acquisition of new signings during the summer also played a huge role in the slow start of the club.
"It has something to do with when you change a lot in the summer. I did not expect it to go with four losses in a row."
"That's not the only thing we prepared them for because Brentford are also known for very good set-pieces.

"Banter aside, Arne Slot has spent ~£500M on the Champions squad & brought in the profiles he wanted.
"When he attributes the losses to the opponents’ tactics or style, it only highlights that the problem is managerial, not about players needing time to settle or squad cohesion."

"Arne Slot said you gave him too many away games, that’s why he’s lost for matches in a row in EPL.
"But, where did ManU beat Liverpool? Was it Old Trafford too?"
