What Slot said after Southampton win

Liverpool boss Arne Slot spoke about Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa among other things after the win over Southampton.

The latter grabbed two assists with Slot full of praise for his performance and the workrate shown by Andy Robertson.

I think what you want to see.



I can accept completely that a team that plays for the first time together, players that haven’t played for a long time, that they don’t play as a team perfectly.



So I said at half-time, for me it is completely not a coincidence that Federico picked the ball and assisted on the first [goal] because he was the one, in my opinion, that was most involved in the game, tried the most, worked the hardest.



And then it wasn’t a coincidence again that he was the man that made a deep run, great ball by Robbo [Andy Robertson], by the way – who also has won so much at this club and also understands how to play this game: not underestimate it, just always be ready to play.



That’s also the way to get yourself either back in the team or get as much playing minutes as you want.

That’s why I was happy with a few individual performances but far from happy with a few other individual performances.
