Before the match, the pressure was on Slot to turn around Liverpool’s poor form. And just when it looked like they were starting to recover against Leeds, Daniel Farke’s side rallied to claim a point. After the match, the Dutchman couldn’t believe what he had witnessed.
He told BBC Match of the Day: “There was a sense of disbelief. I thought we played pretty well or very well for most of the game and we were 2-0 up. I don’t think we had any problems and I don’t think we conceded a chance until the moment we fouled, which wasn’t even a chance. Then it was 2-1 and not long after they made it 2-2 with the first chance they had. Then we were ahead and you think you’ve done enough to win the game, but then a set-piece leads to 3-3.”
The former Feyenoord boss also showed that they were once again found weak defensively from set pieces for Tanaka’s goal.
“It’s not about me. It’s about us, it’s about the fans. The players have worked so hard and to concede another set-piece – the 10th or 11th of the season. If you concede this many, you can’t be higher in the table than us,” he added. “To come away with a 3-3 result, I don’t think that’s what we deserved. We conceded without the other team even having a chance. It’s very difficult to play football if you don’t even give a chance and it goes in. We can only look at ourselves because we did it. That’s the situation we’re in.”
