Arne Slot was slammed as \u201cinsufferable\u201d and \u201crattled\u201d following his post-match interview after Liverpool\u2019s 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Premier League champions have now lost four straight games across all competitions, with Harry Maguire netting a late winner at Anfield. Bryan Mbuemo had fired United ahead just two minutes in \u2014 while Alexis Mac Allister was down injured \u2014 before Cody Gakpo levelled things up. But Maguire\u2019s 84th-minute header sealed United\u2019s first victory at Anfield since 2016 and eased pressure on manager R\u00faben Amorim.<\/p>\n
Slot is enduring his toughest spell yet at Liverpool, with his side out of form and winless since beating Southampton in the Carabao Cup. However, the Dutchman stirred controversy after the match by accusing United of sitting deep and relying on long balls.<\/p>\n
> \u201cIt\u2019s always tough facing a team that defends in a low block and mainly plays long balls,\u201d Slot told Sky Sports. \u201cIt becomes even harder when you go 1-0 down inside a minute while one of your players is on the ground. If you told me before the game that we\u2019d create that many chances against such a setup, I wouldn\u2019t have believed we\u2019d lose.\u201d<\/p>\n
> \u201cPeople forget how many chances we had after going behind. It\u2019s easy to focus on misplaced passes or missed opportunities, but we actually played well in parts.\u201d<\/p>\n
His remarks didn\u2019t sit well with many fans online, who accused him of making excuses instead of taking responsibility.<\/p>\n
One fan on X wrote: \u201cThe guy is insufferable.\u201d
\nAnother added: \u201cRattled. Love it.\u201d
\nA third posted: \u201cAlways full of excuses, no accountability.\u201d
\nSomeone else said: \u201cI\u2019ve never seen a Slot interview where he isn\u2019t moaning.\u201d
\nAnd another summed it up bluntly: \u201cSuch a sore loser.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool will look to turn things around in the Champions League on Wednesday when they visit Eintracht Frankfurt, before facing Brentford at the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
