Post Match Thoughts; Arne Slot:

 “Over the moon is a bit exaggerated, but of course we’re really happy. But maybe if you’re 2-1 down after an hour then you are over the moon to win it 3-2.”

“We know what we have to put in to get the lead that we have at the moment and to get these wins. Maybe one or two wins were only by a big margin, but the rest were by small margins. It was later on in the season that Arsenal led by eight points and City came back, so it’s nice that we have this position, but we are not getting carried away.

Arne Slot on Mohamed Salah:

“If you want to win you need to score goals and we know Mo can score. For me his first goal is the most important as we scored out of nowhere, then after that it was just waiting for us to score another.”

Salah on Liverpool 8 clear of Man City: “Man City is Man City.”

“They have a bad time now but they’re gonna strike back. They have a great coach and great players. Hopefully we can beat them and go further (ahead).” (Sky Sports)

Dominik Szoboszlai:

“They are a good team, good with the ball. They scored two quick goals but the most important thing was the reaction. We showed it very well and happy with the three points.” (Sky Sports)

Dominik Szoboszlai on Mohamed Salah: “Everyone knows Mo. He just has to keep going and I hope I play with him for as long as I can.” (Sky Sports)

Russell Martin Post Match Thoughts:

“I’m really proud of so much of it – the fight, the willingness to run, to play some really brilliant football, to cause them problems, to look way more of a threat than we did at Wolves. That was the big improvement,”

“The shape helped a little bit, with some really good individual performances, but I am really disappointed with the quality of the goals we conceded – they’re just not very good.

“You can accept it maybe if someone produces a bit of magic with the quality of player they have, or they score a brilliant team goal, but we gift goals and it’s not good enough.”

Liverpool’s victory over Southampton showed the team’s prowess, strength and mentality. With players stepping up and a distinct tactical identity, the Reds are looking formidable as the season unfolds.

Southampton, despite experiencing obstacles, may take comfort from their efforts and try to build on their strengths in the coming matches.

As the season progresses, supporters will be glued to Liverpool’s pursuit of glory and Southampton’s fight for survival. One thing is certain: the Premier League never fails to offer excitement!

Liverpool strengthened their lead at the top of the Premier League standings with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah scored to secure the Reds’ fourth consecutive victory.

Liverpool took advantage of Manchester City’s setback against Brighton. Slot’s team was given the opportunity to widen the gap between City, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

Darwin scored a brilliant goal to put the Reds ahead before halftime, and Salah finished with a goal to earn the three points.

Liverpool’s triumph prepares them for impending obstacles, notably a highly anticipated showdown with Manchester City on December 1. With their momentum growing, the Reds will seek to preserve their lead at the top of the table.

Konatè and Van Dijk delivered another defensive masterclass.The league’s top defensive pairing, conceding only six goals in 11 games.

Arne Slot Post Match thoughts:

“In general we had control over the game and scored, which you wouldn’t expect from all this possession, from two counter attacks.” (TNT)

“They constantly threatened us with set pieces. They are a very strong team with set pieces.” (LFCTV)

Arne Slot on Darwin Núñez:

“It was good for him. As a striker you always wanna score, especially with all the players around you scoring so many goals.” (TNT)

Arne on Mohammed Salah:

“I think he has the best numbers of all our attackers. All our attackers have good numbers, but he stands out.”

Liverpool’s only concern following the victory was Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury, which forced him off in the first half. His absence may provide a difficulty as Liverpool navigates a hectic schedule in the coming weeks.

Unai Emery Post Match Thoughts:

“We played with the plan we had. To get some points here is very difficult and maybe we needed more.”

“I’m happy with the match we played. We have to try and keep balance and be consistent like we were last year. We are some points under the level we had last year, but the Premier League is very difficult and it’s tight with other teams in the table.”

“We have to accept losing here because they are a team that can exploit their potential like they did. After we are coming back from the break, we have to try to be strong.”

Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, combined with the misfortunes of their championship rivals, has set the tone for an entertaining Premier League season. With a five-point advantage and a quality roster, the Reds want to recapture the crown they last won in 2019-20. As the international break approaches, Liverpool supporters will be hoping that their club can sustain its momentum and capitalise on the troubles of Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
