Arne Slot explains Liverpool's early season struggles and says ‘it's not that bad', given the champions are only one point behind Arsenal - who Slot claims have scored '60%' of their goals this season from set pieces.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Intro
00:20: Fitness and team news: RyanGravenberch is completly fit Konaté doing injury and Alisson isn't training yet.
1:30 We don't create as many chances as we did at start of last season but we are the team that creates most shots, but we've conceded too many goals.
2:55 The amount of long balls we are facing compared to last season we're already up to a third of total last season. We have to stop conceding goals and chances
3:20 Slot on Salah: It shouldn't matter who we are playing next. If you have lost three in a row and are wearing Liverpool shirt, it's that you react. The players give everything from first minute to last. Two of these three we came back from 1-0 down to level
4:01 United rivalry: I look forward to this even more United is special fixture watched all over the world special to part of it United have had a better start then league table showing
5:00: Slot: If we're creating he most chances from open play maybe we're playing better than the last three results show. But we are conceding too many. Now we need to sometimes score three to win as we are conceding one or two
7:03: Isak: building his fitness he's close to level he should be we should judge him in a fair way from now on
8:42: Slot on confidence hit by three losses: These players might need be, but I don't think they need them to tell me. The three we lost were very close margins. But I keep saying we shouldn't be dependent on those margins
10:00: Results don't lie. If you lose three games in a row you have to be better. We have to react to that
10:40 International break: What I like about top players is you don't notice if you win three in a row or lose three in a row. They prepare in the same way
11:23 Alexis Mac Allister: He missed out on a lot of pre-season, he went out immediately after we won league. We were expecting him back start of pre-season which he wasn't.
12:38 three weeks seven games: You have to find the balance, the ones we have have been together for longer. We have Alex and Hugo as 9s, who both know what to do in our system. I like I have more than 11 to play games."
14:16 position of Salah and Wirtz: Both Flo and Dom attacking midfielders but they are expected to defend. In this case, I saw Cucurella's comments onb Salah but I show you 5 or 6 moments where Mo could have made the difference, so that would be a different conversation.
