The two heavens of ice and fire! Thames: Liverpool’s 4th consecutive defeat is rare in ten years and Amorim wins consecutive Premier League games for the first time

After being defeated by Manchester United 1-2 at home, Liverpool suffered four consecutive losses in all competitions and fell into the most serious crisis of confidence since 2014. The Times reported that Liverpool coach Slott admitted that turning around the decline was a "significant challenge", but he insisted that the team had not lost confidence and lamented the inefficiency of the team's final kick.

Slaughter said in the interview that he saw no signs of a lack of confidence in the team, and emphasized a key statistic: In every game they lost recently, the team was able to create an "amazing number of opportunities" in the second half.

Slott believes that if you only look at the game highlights, the outside world will think that it is "almost impossible" for Liverpool to lose these games. He believes that as long as the team can continue to create chances and make slight improvements, victory will eventually come. However, he also admitted that there is no guarantee that he can create so many opportunities again in the Champions League game against Frankfurt next week. To make matters worse, midfielder Hrafenbecher sprained his ankle in the game and is doubtful for the Champions League.

On the other side, Manchester United coach Amorim ushered in a milestone moment. The win gave him back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time, with the team just two points away from the top four. However, Amorim refused to discuss the prospect of fighting for the fourth place after the game, but pragmatically asked the team to strive for three consecutive victories. He also specifically thanked the fans for their support and mentioned an important behind-the-scenes detail: "We have been through so many bad moments, and when everyone (the media) said he would be out before Christmas, it is good to have fans supporting the coach."
