Liverpool suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, described as the heaviest of Arne Slot's tenure. The side showed no fight or character, with defensive errors and a midfield collapse contributing to the result.
Defensive frailties and a lack of intensity were key issues, with Virgil van Dijk's penalty conceded symbolizing the wider malaise. Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai admitted the fighting spirit wasn't there enough.
