All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageThompson, who won three European Cups and seven league titles as a Liverpool player, says Slot has plenty of breathing room at Anfield because of what he has previously achieved.“We don't know what is going to happen between now and the end of the season," Thompson told the Liverpool FC Podcast. I'm not in agreement that this guy should be under pressure.“When you see stats like that, please just realise what we have enjoyed.

I'm not saying it's been perfect this year, I'm not trying to wax lyrical that we have had some great performances and it's been good. God bless him, what happened to Diogo Jota you can't quantify that enough; players, feelings, mates, young men."Thompson added: “So all the things that have gone on have been difficult, it has been quite traumatic.

I'm thinking where we are, I do think we'll finish in the Champions League [places]."I'll predict something now: I don't care what happens, we will win the league next year. Because I think once this is all settled down, this team will win the league“It's a bold claim maybe but once all these players have settled and all the injuries are back... what Arne Slot has done, I think he's done very well.
