The main culprit behind Liverpool's three consecutive defeats is Slot, who blindly trusts his Dutch compatriots and sold the hardworking player.

Klopp has been at Liverpool for a decade, and Slot’s only major achievement last season was winning the Premier League by maintaining Klopp’s lineup and tactics. This summer, Liverpool invested heavily in new players, but Slot rushed to erase Klopp’s mark, which led tothree straight defeats: 1-2 against Crystal Palace, 0-1 to Galatasaray, and 1-2 versus Chelsea.After the club’s intense transfer activity to strengthen the squad, the team instead fell into a poor form. In my personal opinion, Liverpool’s current troubles are caused by Sterling for the following reasons.

Slot, like former Manchester United coach Ten Hag, is Dutch, and the key player promoted this season, Gakpo, is also Dutch. Fans and media criticize Gakpo for slowing down Liverpool’s attacking rhythm, making the offense one-dimensional and sluggish. However, in Slot’s eyes, Gakpo is the first choice for Liverpool’s left wing, though it has proven that Gakpo is not the best option. To prioritize Gakpo, Slot had the club sell Diaz this summer, a hardworking attacker whose departure severely damaged Liverpool’s offense this season. If Slot truly believed Diaz was inferior to Gakpo, he would have recommended the club to renew Diaz’s contract with a raise instead of selling him.

After leaving Liverpool for Bayern, Diaz immediately became Kane’s best partner. Along with Olise, Bayern formed a Premier League-style attacking trio and have been scoring prolifically in the Bundesliga.In his Bayern career, Diaz has scored 6 goals and made 4 assists in 10 games, whereas Gakpo’s stats at Liverpool this season are 2 goals and 2 assists in 10 games.The difference in goal contributions is significant, and even this doesn’t fully capture Diaz’s tactical value. His tireless playing style is appreciated by teammates and coaches alike—everyone except Slot, who only favors his Dutch compatriot Gakpo. This is a major reason why Liverpool is currently struggling with three consecutive defeats across competitions. Do you agree?
