The head coach of Liverpool, Arne Slot, spoke after the central match of the 21st round of the Premier League with London Arsenal (0:0). Quoting a Dutch expert from the BBC.

“We showed – and not for the first time this season – that we can compete with any other team in important matches and we managed to get results against almost every strong team we played, except for Manchester City, where it was quite obvious that we had scored, but the only people who didn’t think so were the referees. This is the only game we lost with a score of 0:3.

In all other matches, I think we played good football – at home against Arsenal, away against Arsenal. Then the question arises: why are we behind by 14 points? It is also obvious to me – we have problems with the passage of low opponents’ blocks.

In both Liverpool and Arsenal games, both teams showed that they are very strong and very competitive against each other.

We won thanks to a free kick at Anfield. This time there was no such moment, so the match ended 0:0,” said Arne Slot.
