LONDON: Liverpool manager Arne Slot was forced to admit that his team have not been “good enough” and said that the defending champions’ latest defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion “hurts a lot”.
Danny Welbeck scored a brace for Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday while Milos Kerkez pulled a goal back for the Reds. The defeat meant that Liverpool have earned just a solo point from their last three league games. The club is now in fifth place in the Premier League, one point ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea ahead of its match at Everton later.
“Of course now looking at the league table, this loss hurts a lot and it should hurt us a lot,” Slot said after the game. “It’s not good enough, no matter how many excuses I come up with.”
The result will add more scrutiny on his position at the helm of the club.
