Slot praised the quality of the game, saying "Two very good teams wanting to play football, not time wasting, no diving. The momentum shifted in the game, and we were waiting for the third goal, which would have ended the game. Unfortunately, Brighton equalized and eventually won with a late goal from Jack Hinshelwood.
Slot acknowledged that small moments can make a big difference in high-level matches. He mentioned that Mohamed Salah had a chance to score a crucial goal, but it was blocked by the opposing team. Slot also highlighted the strength of the Premier League, pointing out that Brighton was able to bring in Kaoru Mitoma, who played well.
Slot emphasized that scoring the third goal is crucial in winning games, especially when playing away from home. He admitted that Liverpool missed opportunities to seal the win, which would have made it difficult for Brighton to come back.
Slot discussed the selection of fringe players, explaining that they have been given opportunities to play in certain games and have done well on the training ground. He believes they deserve playing time, especially since many of them have to represent their national teams. The rotation of players is not the reason for the dropped points, according to Slot, but rather the quality of the opposing teams.
Slot previewed the upcoming game against Palace, predicting a different style of play. He expects Palace to press high and bring the ball out from the back, which would make it difficult for Liverpool to play their usual style.
