Fuming Slot declares himself ‘far from pleased’ as he tears into Reds display

An angry Arne Slot said on Tuesday evening that he was 'far from satisfied' with his team, despite the fact that Liverpool defeated Girona and made six of six in Europe.

A penalty kick from Mohamed Salah in the second half ensured that the Reds could keep the 100 percent record in the Champions League and almost secured their passage to the knockout phase.

But lock was not happy with the performance of his team and said: 'If you ask me about all six games, I am very satisfied with all the results. I am very satisfied with the first five games, but I am far from satisfied with tonight's performance.

“What wasn't I happy with? I was not satisfied with much. If you play against a team that has such a good idea of ​​football and know how to bring the ball forward from behind, like some of the teams we recently played against, such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, then you have to Be as intense as you want to make it difficult for them.

'But if you wait a few seconds to press them, this team can cause you many problems. I almost feel sorry for them, because they earn so much more.

“We have an incredible goalkeeper. But the other is that every time we lost the ball, we were not aggressive enough and they could almost go all the way to our goal and make a shot.

“We hardly had any control over the game. Maybe the second half was a little better, I try to be positive. “

Slot also welcomed the recurring number 1 Alisson, but joked that his substandard team allowed Girona to run through and test the true condition of the Brazilian.

“I said to joke that players might want to see how fit he really was, to give him so much work,” he said.

“He again showed today why I said so often that he is our first goalkeeper, that has nothing to do with Caoimhin (Kelleher) – he did so well – but Alisson has been so important for this club for so many years.

“He has shown today why he is one of the best – or in my opinion the best – and let's hope he can continue to deliver this performance and even more that he can stay fit.”

Andy Robertson praised match winner Salah and said: 'I think he played better than tonight, most of us did that, but when we needed him, he stepped up.

'You can't wish for six wins out of six, much better than that. It is not easy to do, otherwise more teams would do it. We were not at our best tonight, we played better. “
