In today’s Football Daily: Liverpool’s explosive start to the Premier League
While Football Daily only has two hands and needs both of them to type this drivel every day, we can’t help but feel the pair of them would have been snapped or bitten off if we’d offered Liverpool fans aafter 11 games before a ball had been kicked in this season’s Premier League. While the denizens of Anfield had no particular reason to believe Arne Slot wouldn’t do a decent job as successor to Jürgen Klopp, the managerial shoes into which he was stepping were undeniably huge.
While Slot was the lucky beneficiary of solid foundations on which to build his dream team, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t begin constructing the kind of heinously over-budget eyesore that would make Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCloud a little sick in his mouth. But after a summer in which he spent a little over the bare minimum on materials, work is already well ahead of schedule.
“I haven’t thought about where we after 10 games, 15 games, 20 games,” soothed Slot after his side’s latest victory,under the Saturday night Anfield lights.
Anyway, with their team already nine points adrift of Liverpool, Arsenal fans now have a lengthy interlude to decide whether or not the draw at Chelsea was a decent result, while their Manchester City counterparts are four points better off but have an unprecedented-under-Pep run of four consecutive defeats in three different competitions to contemplate over the next fortnight.
Asked by a friend for his opinion of Klopp, the person alleged to be Coote says: “Aside from having a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown, then he accused me of lying and then just had a right pop at me. I’ve got no interest at speaking to someone who’s arrogant. So I do my best not to speak to him … My God, German , me.” The derogatory remark about Liverpool refers to the team’s performance in a game at which Coote was the fourth official.
