Slot is left with much to contemplate after Reds' week from hell

AS this the day when a blip turned to a crisis for this new-look Liverpool?

- By PAUL GORST

Arne Slot will have two weeks to stew on it as his side lost their third successive game to bring the curtain down on the week from hell for the Reds.

Having become masters of late-goal drama in the early weeks of the campaign, the champions have tasted copious amounts of their own medicine in the last two league games as they once more conceded in stoppage-time to lose 2-1.

This time it was Chelsea substitute Estevao picking up where Eddie Nketiah left off at Crystal Palace last week, sliding in in the 95th minute to secure a home victory.

Slot must now face up to some massive questions during this break.

Namely, how does he inject some fluency into his team on the other side of the international break?

With Manchester United up next at Anfield, Slot must come up with a solution to get his team purring once more.

They are yet to turn in a complete performance across any of their 10 games in all competitions and that is a huge concern.
