Liverpool 5-2 West Ham: Slot's side still below elite standard

In a 5-2 victory over West Ham, Liverpool showcased a dominant set‑piece attack, but the win still highlights the team's struggle to reach the club's elite standards under Arne Slot.

Slot's shift from a continental flair to a pragmatic approach has produced nine set‑piece goals since January, yet defensive gaps in transition and midfield balance remain a concern.
