The idea that Liverpool will overreact to their eight-point lead in the Premier League title chase has been rejected by Arne Slot.
The Reds overcame a determined Southampton team, who had taken the lead when Dominik Szoboszlai’s first goal was cancelled out by Mateus Fernandes and Adam Armstrong, thanks to two goals from Mo Salah.
Liverpool has breathing room at the top as a result of Manchester City’s decline, ahead of their monumental matchup at Anfield on Sunday. However, Slot claims that his team is remaining composed.He remarked, “This position is nice, but we are definitely not getting carried away.” We are also aware of the amount of work he must do to obtain these leads and victories.
We know how hard it is to win a game since, I believe, we only won one or two games by a significant margin and the others were by a narrow margin.
Even though these players have played in the Premier League for longer than I have, I believe that Manchester City rallied late in the previous season when Arsenal had an eight-point lead.
“You are aware that if you play against teams like Arsenal, City, Chelsea, and others, they can all win a lot of games in a row.”
Regarding Salah, Slot continued, “I didn’t really feel that was the moment we could score after we went 2-1 down, but we always know we can trust him if things are difficult for us.”
The timing of the run and Mo’s finishing touch were exceptional, and Ryan Gravenberch’s throw was outstanding.
We needed that goal to play the final twenty-five minutes of the game because, in my opinion, it was only a matter of time until we scored the third goal. “That helps you back in the game.”
