"I think it's up there in my time here in terms of losing a game of football," Slot said when asked whether the result is one of his most disappointing as Liverpool boss."
"After 30 minutes, I think [Brentford] took the game again with long throw-is and set pieces and other moments where they were just really good."
"You cannot compare all of them, what's the most concerning thing is you lose four times in a row," he added to TNT Sports. "So it's always about the result. Afterwards you can judge the performance, which today, in my opinion, is the worst from all the four losses we've had."
"I think we didn't do the basics right, especially the first half and during parts of the second half as well. I think they won more duels than us, they won more second balls than us."
Liverpool lost 3-2 to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, extending their losing streak to four league games and dropping to sixth in the Premier League. The champions have matched their longest run of defeats in the Premier League era and have already lost as many matches this season as in the whole of last season. Brentford took a 2-0 lead through Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade before Milos Kerkez reduced the deficit in first-half stoppage time. Head coach Arne Slot called the defeat one of his most disappointing, saying the team failed to win duels and second balls and did not execute basics, particularly in the first half.
