Liverpool boss Arne Slot insists he had no expectations of his side in terms of results. The Reds have made a superb start under the Dutchman, winning 11 of their first 12 matches in all competitions and topping the Premier League heading into this weekend’s fixtures.
Yet while that may have exceeded the hopes of all but the most optimistic of supporters following the summer departure of Jurgen Klopp, Slot does not look at it that way.
The former Feyenoord manager said ahead of Sunday’s testing trip to Arsenal: “There were no expectations for me. “It is not like I was on my holiday thinking about after 10 games, how many points would I have. “The only thing I was thinking was how am I going to try to bring the best from this team – as has been done for so long by Jurgen – and how can we continue that.
You don’t think about points. “For me, the way I think about it, it is about the process we are doing, what we do on a daily basis and that, from my experience up until now, leads to points. “That is why I didn’t have expectations coming in when it comes to the amount of points for one, two, three or 10 games, but there were expectations from me for the way I wanted to see the team playing.
