Arne Slot admits Anfield may be losing its fear factor after Liverpool draw

Evening Standard

Arne Slot admitted Anfield may be losing its fear factor for opposing teams after Liverpool had to come from behind to draw 1-1 with Sunderland.Chemsdine Talbi’s 67th-minute goal threatened to shock the defending Premier League champions until Florian Wirtz danced through the defence and saw his shot go in off Nordi Mukiele.Even then the visitors could have snatched a rare win had Wilson Isidor’s one-man counter-attack not been denied by Federico Chiesa’s goal-line clearance.

00:00But it's clear that teams that play us now think they can get a result,

00:11not only think, because that's been shown this season.

00:14And even in the games we've won, I think they've also refueled the confidence

00:19for other teams, like, hmm, there's something possible,

00:22but because the wins we had in the beginning of the season weren't easy ones as well.

00:26I don't completely agree with you that they grew into the game,

00:31because I think throughout the whole second half there was only one team that had the ball

00:35and only one team that was playing on one half.

00:38But yeah, if they got a free kick off the referee or they had a goal kick,

00:43they could bring it to our half with a long ball,

00:46and we had to defend three or four times a set-piece and throw in and a corner kick.

00:52And, of course, that is a danger with them,

00:57because they've shown this season that they are a threat in set-pieces.

01:00The good thing for us is we didn't concede from a set-piece.

01:03Maybe as a result that we got at least a point.

01:06.

01:07.
