Slot agrees with van Dijk's 'slow and predictable' Liverpool verdict

Mar 05, 2026

London [UK], March 5: Liverpool boss Arne Slot understood defender Virgil van Dijk's "slow and predictable" assessment after their shock 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday. Rodrigo Gomes broke the deadlock with Wolves' first shot of the game in the 78th minute before Mohamed Salah equalised for his first Premier League goal since November, but Andre's deflected strike in added time snatched Wolves back-to-back league wins for the first time under Rob Edwards. Liverpool's slow starts away from home have become a common theme this season, and they have now only scored three of their 22 away goals in the first half. After the match, Van Dijk told TNT Sports that the champions were "slow, predictable and sloppy", and his boss did not disagree with him.
