Five defeats in Liverpool’s last six Premier League matches have left Arne Slot completely uninterested in entertaining any talk regarding the title race.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City emphatically destroyed Liverpool 3–0 to further sink the struggling Reds. The result saw Liverpool fall to eighth in the Premier League standings, and Slot gave a brutally honest assessment of his side’s reality following the defeat.
“The last thing I should speak about now is the title race,” Slot said. “We should first focus on getting results—result after result after result—before we can even think about that and the reality is that we are eighth now.
“The last thing we should focus on is the title race, which is something we could do last season but also not the previous two seasons before. But we need to improve and that’s obvious.”
