Arne Slot: We managed the match very well, but poorly managed the opportunities

Arne Slot gives his comments for this match agter winning Everton at Anfield.

Liverpool boss said:" You could see there was a bit of a lack of intensity, but the mentality in the second half was incredible."

"We managed the match very well, but poorly managed the opportunities. Lots of positive points, but a single moment can change everything. That's what we need to improve on. After their goal, I don't think they had the slightest opportunity."

"The five players who played three full 90-minute matches this week (Salah, Van Dijk, Konaté, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch)… I can tell you now, you won’t see them on Tuesday."

"We knew what we were buying: two quality number 9s. Today, that’s crucial: Hugo isn’t yet ready to play three 90-minute matches in a row after coming from another league, and Alex has only recently returned after four months without training. Having both is essential."

"No headache. Both know that stringing together 3x90 minutes would be tough. Having two quality number 9s is a luxury that many league clubs share, and us too."
