Fuming Arne Slot declares himself 'far from pleased' as he tears into Liverpool performance – despite making it six wins from six against Girona in the Champions League

Arne Slot on Tuesday night fumed that he was ‘far from pleased’ with his team despite Liverpool beating Girona to make it six from six in Europe.

A Mohamed Salah penalty in the second half kept up the Reds’ 100 per cent record in the Champions League to all but secure their passage to the knockout stages.

But Slot did not like his side’s performance and said: ‘If you ask me about all the six games, I’m really pleased with all the results. I’m really pleased with the first five games, but I’m far from pleased about the performance tonight.

‘What wasn’t I pleased about? I wasn’t pleased with a lot. If you play against a team that has such a good idea about football and knows how to bring the ball out from the back like some of the teams we’ve played recently such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, you need to be so intense if you want to make it difficult for them.

‘But if you are waiting a few seconds to press them then this team can cause you a lot of problems. I almost feel sorry for them as they deserve so much more.

‘We have an incredible goalkeeper. But the other thing is every time we lost the ball, we were not aggressive enough and they could go almost all the way to our goal and have a shot.

‘We had hardly any control at all over the game. Maybe the second half was a bit better – I’m trying to be positive.’
