Liverpool fans demand Arne Slot ‘take big step forward’ in replacing a player as ‘clear weak spot’ revealed against Arsenal-Liverpool

Liverpool fans demand Arne Slot 'make a big effort' to replace a player who emerged as a 'clear weak spot' against Arsenal

Liverpool went into the half-time break 2-1 down and the fans were not happy.

Liverpool fans have called for Arne Slot to make a substitution in the first half of the Premier League match against Arsenal.

There was plenty of action at both ends in the first half at the Emirates Stadium in what is considered one of the games of the season so far.

Bukayo Saka, who returned to the first 11 after recovering from his injury, Arsenal took the lead in just nine minutes.

After a long ball forward from Ben White Joke he ran forward and slotted in beyond Andy Robertson before slotting the ball beyond Caoimhin Kelleher.

The Reds equalized in the 18th minute with Virgil van Dijk’s header following Luis Diaz’s kick following a corner.

Arsenal made the score 2-1 shortly before half-time with Mikel Merino’s header, and the goal was awarded after a long VAR check after it was understood that Van Dijk had ruled the striker offside.

Additionally, a penalty was denied after Ibrahima Konate and Kai Havertz collided shortly before their second goal; VAR assessed that there was not enough contact between the two players to require any action from the on-field referee.

Saka would pose a constant threat to Liverpool with his direct dribbles in the first half, but Liverpool Fans criticized left-back Robertson for his performance in the first half; Some fans even wanted coach Slot to enter the transfer market.

One wrote: “We really need to excel for a left-back because Robertson is getting sad to watch.”

Another added: “I really need a new LB in the summer.”

A third simply asked: “Robertson are you kidding me?”

And a fourth said: “Bukayo Saka definitely gave Andy Robertson a rinse.”

And a fifth added: “Robertson is a clear weak spot in the Liverpool team.”
