Liverpool lost good players and did not replace them with better ones. Mohamed Salah, whom Guardiola previously described as a nightmare over the last 10 years, has lost control of the ball. Liverpool suffered greatly at the Union Ground. Gary Neville, former Manchester United star, said: 'This is the worst Liverpool performance I've ever seen.' The defending champions, Liverpool, were heavily defeated 0-3 by Manchester City at the Union Ground, continuing their poor run of results this season. The media attributed Liverpool's failure to defend their title to not making the most of the new signings, which cost the treasury 390 million pounds. It was written: 'Manager Slot has reached a different building stage than last season before Diaz's move to Bayern and the death of Gota in a car accident.'
