Liverpool manager Arne Slot provided team news and comments ahead of their match against Southampton, reflecting on recent performances and individual player contributions.
Slot praised the effort and involvement of key players in the recent 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Southampton, highlighting that the player who worked hardest and made a deep run was particularly influential. He complimented another experienced player, Robo, noting his understanding of the game and experience at the club, which are valuable assets. Slot emphasized the importance of always being ready to play to gain or regain team selection and playing minutes.
While he expressed satisfaction with some individual performances, Slot admitted he was far from happy with others but chose not to elaborate publicly, suggesting the players are aware of their shortcomings. He recalled how a recent new signing made his debut only a week prior, pointing out how quickly time passes and acknowledging that the player joined under less than ideal circumstances.
Slot remains optimistic about the player's future, expecting him to get a few minutes in upcoming weeks and improve further once his preseason concludes. Overall, the manager was happy with the progress and efforts of his squad while indicating there is room for improvement as they prepare for their next fixtures.
