"Slot played Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back with Jeremie Frimpong on the wing as he surprisingly dropped Mo Salah to the bench alongside record signing Alexander Isak. Szoboszlai then conceded a penalty with some slack defending and Victor Osimhen converted. Salah and Isak came on in the second half but Liverpool looked short of ideas. They nearly had yet another late reprieve when a penalty was given for a foul on Ibrahima Konaté - but VAR overturned it."
Liverpool lost 1-0 in Istanbul to Galatasaray, extending a difficult week for the club. The team were poor throughout the match and lost goalkeeper Alisson and forward Hugo Ekitike to injury, forcing a substitute goalkeeper into a Champions League debut. Manager Arne Slot made surprising tactical choices, including using Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back and leaving Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak on the bench initially. Szoboszlai conceded a penalty that was converted. Salah and Isak were introduced in the second half but the side lacked clear attacking ideas, and a late penalty awarded for a foul on Ibrahima Konaté was overturned by VAR.
