Arne Slot saw Liverpool lose for just the second time in the Premier League

Arne Slot has pushed back on the idea that a lack of rotation cost his Liverpool team after they suffered a rare loss.

Four days after beating Everton the Reds were undone on the road for the first time in the Premier League this season as Fulham secured a 3-2 victory.

All three of their goals came during a 15-minute spell in the first-half with Slot opting to make just the one change from the starting XI that began against the Toffees at Anfield in midweek.



Liverpool have recently been knocked out of two competitions and have now been beaten in the capital.

Slot though rejected the notion that not changing his personnel contributed to their second league loss of the season.

And again, I know how it works, it’s everywhere the same in football: if you concede three goals in the first half, everybody is like ‘wow, that was a disaster’.

“Now if you look back on it, knowing that you concede three, you will probably see a few good moments as well, because there were also good moments from us in buildup.

But then all of a sudden I blinked my eyes and we were 3-1 down.”

Cody Gakpo starting instead of Luis Diaz was the only change made and Jamie Carragher has commented on how Slot "does not seem to trust back-up options" he has in his squad with several players barely getting a look in despite the amount of games they play.

He recently said: “The Liverpool manager has tended to favour the same starters from a preferred pool of 14 or 15.

Yet players like Elliott and Endo haven't started a single league game.
