Slotte: The Premier League has begun to actively use set pieces, Liverpool needs to improve this aspect

Hupu September 28th Liverpool coach Slott was interviewed by Sky Sports after being defeated by Crystal Palace 1-2.

Talking about the progress of the game

"The first half was very tough. They performed very well and deserved to lead 1-0, and we were lucky, with only 1-0.

The second half was the opposite. It took us a while to score until we had a few minutes left. But they won the game with a second set piece.

If you want to be competitive, you need to maintain a very positive balance in set piece, especially in this league. This is one of our biggest advantages last season, and now we have conceded two goals against Newcastle and two more here. But this league is increasingly relying on set piece."

About Crystal Palace:

"Their style of the game is perfect for their players, they use low post defense, counterattackers are fast, and center Mattha is a big guy.

We had a lot of problems in the first half. We had the rest of the time, but it was difficult to break through their low post defense."

About the winning goal:

"Conceding the ball in the final stoppage time was never an ideal choice. But there were substitutes at the time, so it was fair to play half a minute longer. I had to confirm when they scored, but we had to defend the out-of-bounds better.

We learned from all previous games, and we could even learn more from such games."
