LONDON: Arne Slot says he is getting to know his Liverpool squad better every day as they chase four trophies in his first season as manager.
Liverpool, who will face Brighton tomorrow, are just one point behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
They have started the Champions League campaign brilliantly and managed to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup.
Overall, the Reds’ squad won 12 out of 14 matches in all competitions, with just one defeat.
Slott, who replaced Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager, was asked in his pre-match press conference today what he had learned about his squad’s ability to compete for four trophies this season.
“You learn every day, especially if you haven’t been with the team long like I have,” he said.
“You learn every day from new situations, and as I said before, the Chelsea game (winning 2-1) was something I learned from them, that they can defend well and defend their advantage.
“The way they bounced back against Arsenal (2-2 draw) was pretty positive, and the number of games we had to play, and they were still able to turn up and play good football, that’s also something you can see.”
Slot, said his reserve players created a positive impact in the 3-2 victory over Brighton in the fourth round of the League Cup, yesterday.
“We will need them all season,” he said.
“So it’s good to see that they’re at the level it takes to play for us.”
