As Liverpool’s pre-season preparations get under way, its becoming clear that Arne is Slotting in well, so to speak.
Several players appear to be thoroughly enjoying the new regmie, as they prepare for tonight’s friendly with Real Betis.
Curtis Jones joined Slot for the pre-match press conference on Thursday night and admits that he’s never been happier than he is at the moment.
“It’s probably the happiest I’ve been in terms of a style of play that suits me,” he said. “It’s a clear plan in training and he’s fully involved, coaching us a lot.
“He’s big on the finer details. He’s got a certain way of playing – he knows it will take time as it’s a big change, but him and his staff are chilled about it as they know the quality is all there.
“It’s always been a hard time, coming around the team as a young lad and I always had a certain way of playing but I had to adapt and change. But that was part of the plan and it was something I can do. But I feel this is more me, I can get on the ball more. I’m excited.”
