Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has reacted to his team’s loss to Crystal Palace in Sunday’s Community Shield match, saying that the Reds are creating more scoring opportunities than last season, but struggling with defensive solidity, conceding more goals. 


During the game, Liverpool took the lead twice through Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong but ultimately lost in penalties.


Speaking after the match, Slot expressed concerns about his team's defensive vulnerability, noting that they conceded two goals in the match against Crystal Palace, which was similar to issues seen in matches against Athletic Club and AC Milan, hence the need for improvement in defense to achieve success.


However, despite the challenges, Slot said he was pleased with his team's attacking performance, creating more chances than last season. 


He expressed confidence that with fine-tuning, Liverpool can build on their attacking momentum and compete for top honors.
