“I almost feel sorry for you” – Arne Slot raises alarm bells after Liverpool’s win over Girona

Liverpool coach Arne Slot was surprisingly critical of his team’s performance after last night’s 1-0 away win in Girona in the Champions League.

The Reds may not have been at their best on the night, but they still managed to secure an impressive away win against strong opposition, continuing their great start to the season in Europe.

That’s now six wins from six for Liverpool, so there should certainly be plenty for Slot to be happy about, although he was pretty unimpressed with his players when speaking after the game.

Watch below how the Dutch tactician sounded the alarm bells over Liverpool’s sloppy play, suggesting they were lucky to win and might not be so lucky if they played like that again in the future…

Strong quotes from Arne Slot after the game. I really didn’t like the performance.

“I’m anything but happy with the performance tonight.
“What wasn’t I happy about? I wasn’t happy with a lot of things. When you play against a team that has such a good idea of ​​football and knows how…

Slot didn’t hold back in his assessment of his players, saying: “I’m anything but happy with the performance tonight.

“But if you wait a few seconds to apply pressure, this team can cause you a lot of problems. I almost feel sorry for them because they deserve so much more.”

The start of this season has exceeded the wildest dreams of most Liverpool fans, but Slot offers a clear warning against complacency.

The Merseyside giants have responded perfectly to legendary coach Jurgen Klopp’s setback, but there is still a long way to go and no-one is handing out trophies in December.

Slot is clearly aware of this and has made it very clear that he doesn’t want the standards to falter.

LFC fans will just have to hope that the players accept their manager’s words.
