Liverpool: Slot hails players after Marseille victory but admits consistency remains an issue
"There were three, four, five moments where we took the ball off them and should have done better. We created less chances than we did on Saturday [against Burnley], but we won the game here. We deserved what we got tonight."
"We weren't unlucky like we were this season. I know why we're not consistent. When the game is open, players can show their quality. That is completely different to when you are playing a low block. We have struggled against low block but every time we have faced a team that wants to play, wants to press, we have played well."
Liverpool defeated Marseille 3-0 in the Champions League, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring a first-half free-kick, an own goal from goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, and a late Cody Gakpo strike. Mohamed Salah returned to the starting line-up after the Africa Cup of Nations. The result extended Liverpool's unbeaten run across all competitions to 13 matches and moved the team up to fourth in the 36-team table, strengthening hopes of automatic qualification. Manager Arne Slot praised the players' performance but acknowledged inconsistency remains, noting stronger displays occur when opponents play openly rather than set up low blocks. Liverpool travel to Bournemouth next in the Premier League.
