Arne Slot was booed when he substituted Rio Ngumoha for Alexander Isak in the second-half of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea. The Liverpool boss responds to questions about that reaction from the crowd, in true Slot style…
“There were a lot that didn’t agree with that with that change, which I completely understand if you just look at how he played. But it does make sense if you know that three minutes before he goes to the floor, to the ground, with having problems with his muscles. And then when I asked him he said, “No, not sure if I can continue.”
There were also boos around the crowd at the final whistle. Here’s what he had to say about that…
“That probably has to do with us not winning. So a draw, from the last five games we won three, lost last week and today a draw. Yeah, that’s not what we want. We want more. We want to win them all five.
“But as I said, last week we had a negative balance in our set piece. Today again, conceding a set piece and we were very, very close with Virgil to score one ourselves.
“So yeah, it completely makes sense that people are disappointed if we don’t win because that’s what we want. We want to win and it should be like this. If Liverpool doesn’t win, everybody can, no one can ever be happy with it.
