Arne Slot has blasted his players' intensity in a drab first-half display after Liverpool were forced to come from behind to beat relegation-destined Southampton.
Showing the effects of their comparably sensational 'smash and grab' win at Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, Liverpool didn't get going in the first 45 against the Premier League's resident punching bag.
And they were punished for their lack of creativity when Will Smallbone capitalised on confusion at the back to slot the Saints in front on the brink of half-time.
After making three changes at the break, Slot saw a response from his players as Darwin Nunez equalised four minutes after the restart to calm the nerves of an embarrassment at Anfield.
