Liverpool lost again – their ninth away defeat in the Premier League this season, as Aston Villa ran home comfortable 4-2 winners on Friday night.
The pressure was once again back on Arne Slot’s future at the club, with Xabi Alonso waiting in the wings.
“It’s not about me, it’s about us being disappointed with the result,” he said after the game. “I spoke yesterday on it and that’s enough.”
“Our focus is on the Brentford game and making sure we earn the support of the fans by starting the game aggressive and well.
“The culmination of the fan support and a good performance will lead us to what we want to achieve and that is qualifying for the Champions League.”
“In general teams struggle more away from home but for a top team like us it’s far too many losses and dropped points.
“That hugely has to do with the way we concede is far too easy in general. We have chances but we’ve not been as clinical in fishing them this season as we were last season.
“It doesn’t help that Isak has hardly played for us or that Hugo has been unavailable. It is what it is. Next week, Brentford is where our focus is.”
