Updated / Sunday, 22 Mar 2026 09:17 Arne Slot admits Liverpool's Premier League performances are not good enough Head coach Arne Slot admits Liverpool's Premier League performance is "not good enough". It’s still not good enough in the position we’re in right now." Striker Alexander Isak joined from Newcastle for a British-record fee of £125m to complete Liverpool’s unprecedented recruitment but he has been restricted to just six top-flight starts in an injury-ravaged season.



"No one in England is used to the fact that there are also clubs that are selling players," replied Slot when it was suggested few people would be sympathetic of Liverpool’s injury situation because of their spending. "Usually in England when a club is buying for £450million, which we did, that’s adding that to the already great team you have.

"The £150m player (Isak) is never available, that’s already one thing, and Giovanni Leoni (a £26m signing from Parma) has never been available because of his injury, that’s the second thing, so now we are already going underneath what we’ve sold. "Jeremie Frimpong (£29.5m from Bayer Leverkusen) is recently much more and more available and Giorgi Mamardashvili was one of the other signings, he’s the second (choice) goalkeeper." Liverpool return to league action at home to Fulham on April 11 following an FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City and the first leg of their Champions League last-eight clash with holders Paris St Germain.
