In as much as Liverpool has already won the league I would have thought they should also try to play for respect and also to build a formidable legacy and history but that wasn't the case today as they lost 3:1 to Chelsea.
I did not watch the match so I was following the live score, on looking at the squad Liverpool used I even felt more embarrassed because many of their first team players started the match.
But on any thoughts Chelsea is fighting for a place in Europe so their hunger today just surpassed Liverpool's own who are already champions of the league
It is really embarrassing for Liverpool to be beaten by every team after they have won the league title. Such matches may not be too important for them towards any trophy but clubs uses those matches for their records. Apart from that, the fans also use those matches to cheer themselves up, get motivation to buy tickets and even bet among themselves. These are the things that makes the sports fun and bring out that pride of supporting a club. Liverpool should have a change of mindset for their remaining matches so they can bring some excitement to their supporters.
It’s obvious that Arne Slot was just interested in treating the game like a pre season game it seems so to be, but I’m very disappointed at his starting line up, He should’ve played for respect as a premier league champion, He wasn’t supposed to rest players, considering that he isn’t in the champions league anymore, he started a very weak midfield of Endo, Elliott, and Quansah this players are just making there first start of the season, and Quansah was just as disappointing as the first game he played against Ipswich which he was removed after the second half, he was making a lot of mistakes and that is why he lost the game. I don’t appreciate him for playing a weak team. That doesn’t make any sense to me.
Like I said earlier, Liverpool is not competing for anything anymore, they have win the league so there is no need fighting again. I wish they were playing unbeaten this season in the premier league then I would have seen the need for fighting so as to maintain the unbeaten but they are not so it is pointless using the full squad, at least they have win the league so he is suppose to use the small ( average) players to see there strength too, they can not continue to be in bench because you wouldn't know who is good and who is not, so it is a moment like this they are suppose to use those average players and then lastly, Chelsea needed the point to move to the fourth position in the table and kudos to them because they utilize the opportunity.
