Slot said: “I saw an unbelievable pass from Conor Bradley, a powerful run from Dominik Szoboszlai, who made in my opinion the perfect choice to square because he made it an open-goal chance and then Darwin, it was not the best, he’s right-footed, of course, but it’s still a big chance.
At the start of the season you know: ‘Villa away, that’s a difficult one, City away, that’s a difficult one.’ So performance-wise, not a dip at all today, in my opinion, but you might disagree.
Liverpool, who travel to Manchester City on Sunday, have taken one win from their past four games, including a shock FA Cup exit against the Championship strugglers Plymouth, but remain unbeaten away in the Premier League this season.
Arne Slot insisted Liverpool were not experiencing a dip in form but he acknowledged they must return to their clinical best to restore their winning habit after an entertaining 2-2 draw at Aston Villa.
Slot conceded Darwin Núñez was “down and disappointed” after missing a golden chance to give his side a 3-2 lead following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s second-half equaliser.
