system, introduced to reduce wasted time, requires spare balls to be placed in cones around the pitch and clearly prohibits ball officials from handing balls directly to players.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the final minutes after Harry Maguire&#8217;s 84th-minute winning goal, ball boys and girls were allegedly seen throwing the ball at Liverpool players on several occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, manager Arne Slott himself was seen passing the ball to one of his players near the 90th minute.<\/p>\n<p>The offense reportedly raised eyebrows among the traveling Manchester United delegation, but the Reds Devils did not lodge a formal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Aston Villa, who were fined \u00a3125,000 and banned from using the system for a similar breach last season, Liverpool are expected to only need a warning to continue to comply with the rules.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because Villa was charged with multiple ongoing violations. Considering this was Liverpool&#8217;s first offense, they received a slap on the wrist and were sent off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpool_criticized_after_4_consecutive_losses\"><\/span>Liverpool criticized after 4 consecutive losses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The decline in form for the Premier League champions is noticeable. A lot will happen during the summer that will affect the team&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>The tragic death of teammate Diogo Jota will undoubtedly have affected the performance of some players.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor was the reorganization of the main squad, with a significant number of first-team players leaving the club, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>All the new players are world-class players, but they haven&#8217;t hit their stride yet.<\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot&#8217;s side, which received a lot of praise from fans and experts, is now starting to attract harsh criticism.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie Redknapp was one of the pundits who didn&#8217;t hold back in his criticism after the United defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Sky Sports, he said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It could have gone either way, but that&#8217;s exactly how it felt today. Even when he (Arne Slott) was substituted, there was always an atmosphere of desperation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was never any lull in the game&#8230;even if they tied the score, their reaction afterwards&#8230;was chaotic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never felt like they were that calm.
