Liverpool star delivers brutal verdict of 'sloppy' Wolves loss; Slot reveals his side's biggest problem

Head coach Arne Port and also captain Virgil van Dijk have imparted their testimonial of Liverpool’s shock 2-1 loss versus Wolves on Tuesday night.

Liverpool sagged to their ninth Premier League loss of the 2025/26 campaign on Tuesday night, throwing away 2-1 versus base-ranked Wolves.

Port‘s side perfected mildly after an truly tepid opening half, however were still genuinely toothless in strike and also can not render ideal utilise of their possession.

Mohamed Salah’s equaliser in the final ten minutes terminated out Rodrigo Gomes’ opener, however Andre’s deflected shot deep applicable into blockage time protected the triumph for Wolves.

This result is a burden to Liverpool’s hopes of guarding Victors League qualification, via Port’s crew to loss to sixth if Chelsea overtaken Aston Suite on Wednesday.

After the loss to Wolves, Port melt light on why he reckons this arcade “sums upward” Liverpool’s period.

“How lug out I sum this upward? Same used story,” Port said.

“Freshly, we are picking upward times offered that we rating plenty of times from package-percents, however what didn’t match in the last five, six seven galleries is that we battle and also situate it horribly hard to rating from amenable tinker odds that we lug out invent.”

Port in addition admitted that Liverpool’s package-percents versus Wolves “were horribly inadequately pocketed”, while he in addition regreted the identifying of the late victor for Rob Edwards’ side.

“Not as a significant quantity as I would unquestionably prefer from all the round possession we have, however enough and also much extra than the polymorphous other crew. Yet the run out result is we racked upward one and also they racked upward two and also another one in injury time so it sums upward our period over again,” Port lingered.

“We have had much extra possession than the polymorphous other crew, we have invented extra in amenable tinker in general than the polymorphous other crew, however have combated to rating from amenable tinker. Freshly we have racked upward a significant quantity from package-percents. Once more we had the majority of package-percents, however in the initially half were horribly inadequately pocketed.

“I wear’t reckon we tinkered a horribly nice initially half, the 2nd half was better, still not superb, however better. We invented extra, and also the purely in yesteryear injury time we were two times horribly relaxing from odds to render it 2-1.

“Mo [Salah] was oozing and also had to the gained away and also applicable two players amenable, however the round was obstructed by their defender and also there was the Virgil [van Dijk] header, and also the one we consented wasn’t even a chance.

“That has took place to us so plenty of times this period. That it took place in injury time can be a coincidence, although it has took place so plenty of times. We hardly conferred away a chance today, we conferred away one chance and also consented two.”

A inaccuracy from Van Dijk donated to Wolves’ initially ethical, though the centre-ago hit out at Liverpool’s “loose” disclosing after the final whistle.

“I reckon it’s down to ourselves. It was slow, we were foreseeable, loose in possession and also wrong judgment-rendering,” Van Dijk alerted TNT Sporting activities.

“Evidently we didn’t acknowledge odds however if you lug out prefer that then a result prefer this can be a result of that and also that’s a fact. It was upseting.”

On Liverpool’s slow prelude to the match, Van Dijk added: “It’s not one component why that’s the shuck. The arcade nowadays in general, we review and also over-review why points are complying with on the sector.

“We as a crew yearn to prelude a arcade and we can and also in the last arcade [the 5-2 win over West Ham] we did. Today we had majority possession however we were still rendering wrong resolutions and also we couldn’t situate the run out item.

“Conceding objectives is always upseting. We’ve come on the ago of a couple of unblemished sheetings, defensively we’ve been horribly durable, however it is what it is and also we have to glide quickly on offered that we come ago below in a couple of days and also we yearn to lug out well in the FA Mug. We have to portray a response.”
