Arne Slot reveals what he thought was a “f*cking joke”
In the aftermath of the match, Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot speaking to Sky Sports, expressed mixed feelings about the game.
He praised his team for their effort but had some frustration with certain aspects of Arsenal’s play.
Slot stated, “I know you guys like to talk about title contenders, that’s part of your job. Can you get a result in a difficult away game as this one? The way we did it pleased me a lot.”
“Going two times behind against a very strong and good Arsenal team, to get a point is pleasing to see because we had to play an away game in Europe this week.”
“To go two times behind with the fans being so loud and the team coming back so strong in the second half, I didn’t feel we deserved to go in 2-1 behind.
“It’s very pleasing to see we had the energy and we were so strong to fight back in the game. We did really good but we were really strong today.”
One comment from Slot, however, stood out.
He vented his frustration about Arsenal’s play, saying, “They always fell down when they had ball possession. I said to Ibou: ‘This is a f*cking joke’, but the fourth official thought I was talking to him. I got a yellow for that!”

Overall, while Liverpool’s performance was commendable, Slot’s candid remarks reflect the high stakes of competing at the top level.
