Slot: “The City result stung, the response has to be ours”

Arne Slot on the 0-3 home defeat and the squad’s reaction going into the Brentford trip.

The numbers frame it: Liverpool have 12 points from 7 matches, with 9 scored and 8 conceded, sitting 5th after Matchweek 7.

What happens next is the interesting part. Supporters will want to see whether this becomes a pattern or a footnote, and the next fixture is the first real test of that.

As ever, the conversation continues in the supporters room, where the mood after full time tends to be a better barometer than any table.
