Liverpool head coach Arne Slot claimed he had no concerns about Arsenal’s use of the so-called ‘dark arts’ in the buildup to the weekend’s Premier League clash at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are indeed developing a reputation as a ‘streetwise’ team, taking any opportunity they can to take advantage and slow the game down.
Reds legend Jamie Carragher meanwhile claims Arteta is morphing into Jose Mourinho before our eyes although the Portuguese has won far more in his managerial career than Arteta has.
It’s been very pronounced in games where they have gone down to 10 men - such as against Manchester City - but was also in evidence on Sunday.
One Liverpool player was clearly overjoyed to be in Paris for the Ballon d’Or ceremony, sharing the experience with his wife. Summer signing for the Reds, Giorgi Mamardashvili, was spotted in Paris ahead of France Football’s Ballon d’Or ceremony. Nominated for the Lev Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper, Mamardashvili could scarcely hide his excitement, seen grinning from ear-to-ear. He was spotted alongside his wife Elene Epitashvili, whom he married this past July shortly after his heroics at the Euros for Georgia, and just one month prior to agreeing terms to join Liverpool for next summer. How Liverpool ruined Ten Hag and helped him get the sack “If they don’t want me anymore then I will go somewhere else to win trophies, because that is what I have done my whole career," said Erik Ten Hag after winning the FA Cup with Manchester United back in May. Well now he will get that chance, because this morning he was sacked by Manchester United. The sacking came as no real surprise. Manchester United sit 14th in the Premier League. Only Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored fewer goals than them this season. They lost in the last minute again yesterday to West Ham. The wheels have come off. And it would be fair to say that Liverpool gave one of the biggest helping hands possible to ensuring the continuing circus at Old Trafford.
