How Pep Guardiola tore apart Arne Slot's Liverpool setup

The 3-0 defeat to Man City was Liverpool's fifth in six Premier League games...

Liverpool’s 3-0 humbling at the hands of Manchester City was a gut punch that signalled far deeper issues than a bad day at the office. With five losses in their last six Premier League games, more than they suffered in the entire previous campaign, this was a proper reality check.

Liverpool fans had been encouraged by the recent resurgence with back-to-back wins against Aston Villa and Real Madrid sparking optimism that the Dutchman had restored their swagger. But that momentum was brutally put to a stop at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City dismantled Liverpool comfortably.
