Arne Slot has done a brilliant job and, I have got to say, he is really good coach. If they are getting a few bad ones at the moment, well, we have had to put up with them for years.“There are very few decisions that go against Liverpool at Anfield.
I actually think Liverpool supporters would agree with that if they were being honest as well. But as a coach, I think he’s a top coach.”Everton bring momentum and expectation into Sunday’s clash, with the Toffees excelling during their first full season of David Moyses’ second spell with the club.Liverpool will have to find a way to bounce back from multiple setbacks this season and prepare for a big battle tomorrow.
