Man City Humble Liverpool as Standards Slip

Liverpool suffered a humiliating collapse against Manchester City, conceding four goals in a devastating 20-minute spell that exposed a lack of fight and application.

Arne Slot's side appeared to pick and choose moments to perform, with captain Jordan Henderson admitting the players "gave up" during the 4-1 loss. The collapse has tested Slot's authority, highlighting a concern he previously raised about teams changing attitude after success.

The squad is now said to crave the accountability figures like Jordan Henderson once provided, as the Champions League pressure intensifies.
