News'It's been excellent so far - but we can still get better'
Andy Robertson insists Liverpool have plenty of scope to improve, despite their excellent form under head coach Arne Slot to date.
The Reds have won 18 of their 21 matches since the Dutchman took the helm at Anfield in the summer, and therefore lead both the Premier League and Champions League.
A seven-game winning run was checked by a 3-3 draw away at Newcastle United in midweek and Slot’s men will aim to respond immediately when they contest the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime.
Speaking ahead of the trip to Everton, left-back Robertson explained the positive sentiment within the squad and also the feeling that Liverpool can progress further under the boss’ tutelage.
“He’s been a breath of fresh air since he and his coaches have come in. New ideas, new voices to listen to. I think the lads have taken it onboard really well,” the No.26 told TNT Sports.
“Pre-season was quite intense off the field because we had tournaments and were all coming back at different times, and he wanted to implement the way he wants to play.
“There were a lot of meetings, a lot of individual meetings, defensive meetings, attacking meetings and things like that.
“We knew they were going to leave no stone unturned, and I think they’ve been excellent. The lads have obviously bought into it. You see that in the results. That helps, it breeds confidence – but I think we can still get better.
“We’re still not there where he probably wants us to be, and we keep on proving [that]; we change things most games. But yeah, he’s been excellent and hopefully that can continue.”
Robertson was joined in the pre-match chat by fellow Reds full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who came off the bench and delivered two assists for Mohamed Salah at St. James’ Park on Wednesday evening.
The England international echoed the enthusiasm for the guidance of Slot, detailing: “The style with which he coaches, and the style with which we play and the identity we have as a team, is something that is there to see.
“We’re all enjoying it, he’s getting the best out of players, that’s all you want as a player. We’re all willing to learn to improve.
“That’s what you want, he’s someone who will coach that into us. Like you’ve seen, the lads have bought into it from day one.
“That’s what you need as a new manager – when you’ve got willing lads to learn and receive feedback, then you’re halfway there. The tactics are mind-blowing as well. If I’m honest, I don’t think anyone would have said we’d be as good as we are.”
