Liverpool Suffers Fourth Consecutive Premier League Loss Under Arne Slot, Equaling Worst-Ever Form

Liverpool has suffered its fourth consecutive Premier League defeat, marking their worst run since February 2021 and equaling their longest losing streak in the Premier League era. Manager Arne Slot expressed deep disappointment with the team's performance, criticizing their failure to execute the basics, lose duels, and compete effectively, particularly against Brentford's long throws and set pieces. Despite late goals from Milos Kerkez and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool could not overcome Brentford's early dominance and controversial refereeing decisions, including a penalty awarded to Brentford. The Reds' poor form has left them sixth in the table and potentially seven points behind leaders Arsenal, highlighting a significant drop from their championship-winning campaign. Analysts and fans alike have noted Liverpool’s troubling habit of conceding early goals in recent matches, which disrupts their rhythm and contributes to their ongoing struggles. Overall, the current crisis reflects both tactical and morale issues under Slot's management, raising questions about the club's direction amid mounting pressure.
