Liverpool manager Arne Slot said opponents have identified a winning strategy against his Premier League champions and he needs to find a solution fast after a 3-2 defeat at Brentford on Saturday made it four league losses in a row.
Their title defence had begun well but defeats at Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Brentford, as well as last weeks 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United, have knocked the Dutchmans side off the rails.
Slot said the loss at Brentford was arguably the worst performance in their slump as Liverpool were deservedly beaten by a side who ruthlessly exploited their fragility.
