Slott: We had to do it, and we defended great

Liverpool coach Arne Sloat appeared in press statements after the victory over Brentford, with two unanswered goals, in the second round of the English Premier League.

The coach said: “It was Our defensive performance today was great. The only chances we received were from set pieces, and on top of that, we created many good chances, especially in the second half.”

And about the comparisons between him and Jurgen Klopp: "I think Liverpool fans have seen these performances under Jurgen Klopp many times. I want to see everyone running back and doing everything they can to avoid conceding a goal and that's what we did very well today."

He stressed: “If you continue to insist on what you are doing, the implementation will become better. Brentford no longer has the strength to defend us.”

He added. :"I think Trent Arnold has many qualities, and one of them is crosses from the side. If we only play him in midfield, he can only pass the ball, which he can do well of course, but I also want him in dangerous positions to play crosses."

He noted: “We try to influence the players as much as possible before the match to tell them where they can open gaps to enter. Nine times out of 10, teams do something different than they do against other teams. He has the freedom to go anywhere. Trent is a difficult player to play against.”

He concluded: “I think most players are quite used to what we want but that has a lot to do with us not doing a lot of different things than Jurgen did.” . Maybe the details are a little different but it's also about the competitors you're up against. "Ipswich and Brentford made it very difficult for us today but I don't expect them to be in the top six this season so we have to improve to make sure we can do that against teams that could finish in the top six."
