Liverpool Has Lost Fear Factor, Admits Slot

Liverpool Has Lost Fear Factor, Admits Slot
  • PublishedDecember 4, 2025

Liverpool boss Arne Slot says his side have lost their fear factor after a miserable run as Sunderland emerged with a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Wednesday.

The Premier League champions have now failed to win in three consecutive home games and needed a Nordi Mukiele own goal to rescue a point against the Black Cats.

Sunderland were on course for their first win at Anfield since 1983 when Chemsdine Talbi’s deflected strike opened the scoring.

Even after Mukiele deflected Florian Wirtz’s effort into his own net for the equaliser, Wilson Isidor wasted a huge chance to snatch all three points for the visitors when his shot was cleared off the line by Federico Chiesa in stoppage time.

Since winning their opening five league games of the season, Liverpool have won just two of their last nine.
