Curtis Jones Slams Liverpool After Another Defeat
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones held nothing back after his team’s ninth loss in 12 matches, a situation that puts coach Arne Slot in jeopardy. Despite the humiliating 4-1 defeat in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven, Slot assured he had the backing of the club’s management and was not worried about his position. The situation is not only defined by the results, but also by the way the team is losing. This was the first time in 72 years that the club suffered three defeats by a margin of three or more goals, including matches against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.The player added that the team will try to regain its level and show what the club is made of, but currently, the situation is critical and needs a change. Six months ago, the team, which won the Premier League, now faces the disapproval of its own fans, a reality that Slot must face. The next two matches, against West Ham on Sunday and Sunderland at home, have become crucial for the coach’s future.“I don’t have the answers. Honestly, I don’t. It’s unacceptable,” Jones declared. “I am beyond rage. I have no words anymore.”

Slot will also have to take responsibility for not having managed to change the team’s dynamics. However, even he cannot be the only one to blame for individual errors. Individual errors have affected key players like Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk, the latter committing an unnecessary penalty that allowed Ivan Perisic to open the scoring. Dominik Szoboszlai scored the equalizing goal, but goals from Guus Til and two from Couhaib Driouech embarrassed the team in the second half. Most of the players quickly left the stadium, including Van Dijk, who avoided reporters. Slot concluded that he believes everyone can improve and that it is not the time to highlight individual errors.“I feel safe, I’m fine. I have a lot of support from above,” said Slot after Liverpool’s second heaviest European defeat. “It would be good to turn it around and get a win, of course, but if things aren’t going well, it’s normal to be asked questions.”
