Liverpool injury updates, Klopp’s post-match outburst, and Slot’s comments
Klopp’s post-match outburst
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was left fuming after his team’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
Klopp was particularly critical of the officials, who he felt had made several poor decisions that went against his team.
I’m really frustrated with the performance of the referee and the linesmen, Klopp said. I’m not one to usually criticize referees, but today they were not good enough.
Klopp also took aim at Arsenal’s players, who he accused of time-wasting and diving.
Arsenal were very good at time-wasting, Klopp said. They were also very good at diving. I don’t think they deserved to win the game.
Liverpool injury updates
Liverpool have been dealt a number of injury blows in recent weeks, with several key players ruled out of action.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is the latest player to be sidelined, with the defender suffering a hamstring injury in the defeat to Arsenal.
Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho, and Luis Diaz are also currently out injured.
Slot’s comments
Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has said that he would be interested in taking over as Liverpool manager in the future.
Slot has been linked with the Liverpool job in recent months, and he has now admitted that he would be open to the possibility of managing the Premier League club.
I’m very happy at Feyenoord, Slot said. But I’m also ambitious. If Liverpool came calling, I would definitely listen to what they had to say.
Conclusion
Liverpool are currently going through a difficult period, with the team having lost their last two Premier League games.
Klopp is under pressure to turn things around, and he will be hoping to have a fully fit squad available for the team’s next game against Rangers in the Champions League.
