Overview

• Liverpool fell 1-0 at Galatasaray, their second straight defeat, after Dominik Szoboszlai started at right-back and conceded the deciding penalty with Jeremie Frimpong deployed on the wing.
• Wayne Rooney said on his BBC show that Ruben Amorim would be "absolutely slaughtered" for similar tactical choices and questioned Liverpool’s overall display.
• Rooney argued Slot overloaded on attackers late on and described the performance as really poor, adding that Alisson sustained an injury during the match.
• Slot defended his reshuffled lineup by citing several players who lacked a proper pre-season, saying he cannot play them every game without increasing injury risk.
• The scrutiny follows defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, with Liverpool still top of the league as they prepare to face Chelsea this weekend.
