After Liverpool’s dramatic 2–1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, Reds boss Arne Slot didn’t hold back in his post-match press conference. Although his side claimed all three points, Slot admitted he was frustrated by how his players reacted to the challenge, especially late in the match.
Liverpool had seemed in command after taking a two-goal lead. But despite Tottenham ending the game with only nine men — thanks to two red cards — Slot felt his squad didn’t show enough urgency to kill the game off. At one point, the manager quipped that it “felt more like we were down to nine men” because of how passive his players had been.
Rather than dominating, Liverpool found themselves under sustained pressure, and Slot made it clear he expected more urgency and control in those situations. His honest critique highlighted how competitive the Premier League is — even against a depleted opponent.
To add to the tension, Liverpool also received worrying news on the injury front as Alexander Isak picked up a knock during the game. While details are still emerging, the forward’s fitness now becomes a concern for upcoming matches.
