Arne Slot reaction — What did Liverpool boss say after shocking draw vs spiraling Spurs?
“Unfortunately, we weren’t able to score more than one goal. I think the most equal part of the game was the last part when both teams had their chances. Most of the chances they had came from similar situations as their goal did.”
Two points dropped? “Yeah, of course — home game, being up for so many minutes — yeah, of course two points dropped.”
On Dominik Szoboszlai’s latest free kick: “Great goal. It’s nice to score a goal like that. We had many better chances than that one, but if Dominik is behind the ball it becomes a big chance as we have seen again today.”
On Rio Ngumoha’s first PL start: “He enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it also. He has developed very well throughout the season. He is 17 and now he has had his first Premier League start. He was a constant threat and that was definitely one of the positives to take from the game today.”
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, on the result
“That is a huge disappointment. I don’t know what happened, I have nothing to say. In the last minute, again, I don’t know how many times this season already. We have to wake up. I feel flat. We have to wake up because if we carry on like this, we should be happy with the Conference League. I don’t know why this is happening, I honestly don’t know.
“I think in the first half we played very well, we controlled the whole game and they hardly created chances apart from one or two headers. Second half, we just didn’t do the same things. We will sit down together, and this is the most difficult time, but we have to stick together.”
