Liverpool hit unwanted Premier League record as Arne Slot problem exposed

The visitors shouldn’t even be in a position to bring the game level ahead of the half-time break, given that Liverpool had their foot planted on Chelsea’s throat after Ryan Gravenberch’s opener.

Rio Ngumoha was causing havoc on the left flank, helping keep Calum McFarlane’s men penned inside their own half.

The goal comes, Liverpool have a spell of dominance, and then suddenly decide not to press their advantage, allowing Chelsea a route back into a game where they had previously struggled to secure a foothold.

Liverpool’s stats vs Chelsea look like an away side’s

Let’s have a quick glance at the stats (at the time of writing) ahead of the hour mark.

Where is the control that is supposedly the hallmark of Arne Slot football? Where is the home dominance?

Look, we’re not expecting to blow every single side we face out of the water at Anfield.

But this Chelsea team is hardly anything to write home about. They’ve been outrun by virtually every opponent they’ve faced in the Premier League, they’ve been disjointed, and they’ve been a team of individuals.

This is exactly the kind of opponent Liverpool shouldbe able to assert some measure of dominance over at L4.

What’s the point of giving this manager another transfer window when our culture and setup fail to offer any signs of optimism going into the next campaign?

No one wants to see a manager sacked, but would Xabi Alonso do a much worse job than Slot?
