Are Liverpool in a mini crisis after a third successive defeat? "The success of last season was because of Arne Slot's ability to address situations early within games to get them over the line," said former Reds keeper David James.
Are Liverpool in a mini crisis after a third successive defeat? That was the question posed on the latest episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"The success of last season was because of Arne Slot's ability to address situations early within games to get them over the line," said former Reds keeper David James. "They were excellent at winning the second half of games and quite regularly not very good in the first.
"This season, they have been better in the first and more often than not, worse in the second half and not up to scratch.
"They have a manager who does have - or should have - the ability to recognise the problems and resolve them.
"Liverpool are one point behind Arsenal, so it is not like they have lost three games and there is all of a sudden a big gap.
"There are no questions about the quality they have brought in this summer, but the pressure is then on the manager to get the players playing like they should be.
"I didn't think they needed Alexander Isak when they bought him and now they do - the conversation has widely been that they will win the league.
"They almost have too much quality and the issue is they are teething."
