Liverpool boss Arne Slot was once again asked about the Mohamed Salah situation during Friday’s pre-Spurs press conference.
“I said last week, actions speak louder than words,” he said. “We moved on. He was in the squad and was the first substitution I made. Now he’s got AFCON and playing big games for himself and for the country, so it’s only fair that all focus is on them.”
Fitness and performances improving
“I hope we will all see this in results, but I think we are progressing,” Slot said.
“I had to play players who weren’t fit too many times this season. I’m not talking only about the new players.
“I see players progressing in terms of their fitness and, as a result of that, their performances. I think we are definitely making progress.
“Winning always gives a good feeling and a spirit after so many changes in the summer. The league table is so close together that winning or losing matters a lot.
“The main focus for us is to build on the last five games. We were solid defensively. That’s a good base, combined with the players getting more and more ready to compete at Premier League intensity. I think there is more coming from us.”
