Arne Slot believes it’s “unrealistic” to expect Chelsea to not play through the Liverpool press after suffering a last-minute defeat at Stamford Bridge.The Reds lost for the third time in the space of a week as Moises Caicedo and Estevao Willian scored either side of a Cody Gakpo strike to secure a massive victory for the hosts.Arsenal have now overtaken Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table after the Gunners beat West Ham United earlier in the day.“Another disappointing loss that’s clear,” Slot said in his post-match press conference. “Similar to the Palace game, although a little different. In the first half, we didn’t play our best football but we created three big chances; they created one.“In the second half, we created more than enough to score more than one.“In the last 10, it was end-to-end. Both teams could have won it. We didn’t, Chelsea did.”Arne Slot makes ‘unrealistic’ Chelsea comment as Liverpool loseChelsea exploited spaces in Liverpool’s defence throughout the game, and their winner was the culmination of a back-to-front move. “Yeah, there are gaps,” Slot admitted. “If you play like we play and the style they play. But it’s no surprise that both teams will play through the press.“They had a lot of injuries but still had players to bring quality from the bench. It’s unrealistic to expect them not to play through the press.”The Dutchman added: “You’re never close to your ideal team. You have to work really hard to reach a certain level. It’s hard in football because you play a lot of good teams.“It’s clear we had our changes. last week we had very little training time. Today’s result would have been good with a draw or a loss, then it would have been a great start if you take into account what happened in the summer to this club.”Read – Jurgen Klopp rules out return to football management following Liverpool exitSee Also – Power Rankings: Atleti ascend as Liverpool slideFollow The Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Arne Slot makes ‘unrealistic’ comment as Liverpool fall to Chelsea first appeared on The Football Faithful.
