This loss marked their fifth league defeat of the season and their fifth in the last six Premier League matches.
Captain Virgil van Dijk expressed confidence that Liverpool can still turn their campaign around, but admitted it has been a “difficult season” and that their problems would not be solved “overnight”.
Van Dijk urged the team to focus on their performance and hard work rather than the league table, stating the season is not decided in November.
He also voiced disappointment over his disallowed goal against City, believing it should have stood and could have shifted the momentum of the match.
