Liverpool's coach, Arne Slot, expressed his deep disappointment after his team fell 3-2 to Brentford on Saturday, in Matchday 9 of the Premier League, describing the defeat as the worst for the team this season.
Speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the defeat to Brentford, that it was a "disappointing result and a disappointing performance as well.
"Conceding three goals is far too much if you want to win a game of football. First one was a set-piece. Second is a counter-attack which is one of the things [Brentford] are really good at. We didn't defend that at all."
He also commented on Mohamed Salah scoring, saying "Always positive he is scoring a goal. It was a great finish from Mo."
On four defeats in a row, Slot described "What I have to do is look at what we do wrong and what we do right. I have a clear idea of where we have to improve, but that hasn't been the case in other games. We didn't do the basics right."
In the same context, Reds captain Virgil van Dijk spoke TNT Sports after the game.
He said that he is "Disappointed about losing here. We know what their strengths were and what they were going to try to do. We needed to be spot on with the quality they had.
"It was a disappointing night overall for us. Tough to take but it's the reality and we need to keep going."
"We have the next game on Wednesday against an opponent [Crystal Palace] who already made our life difficult this season. We have to turn our mindset pretty quickly to be ready for that.
"They will come to Anfield to hurt us even more, but this is a tough one to take. We can't deny that. It's not an easy moment. We were trying to build on that performance iagainst Frankfurt and this was not a nice evening to have."
