Gravenberch Impact, Three Goals & 'Incredible Work Rate' Arne Slot Manchester Utd 0-3 Liverpool

uh everything which you want to see as a manager you saw in this game so there were difficult moments for us I think United started really well ConEd one or two Corner kicks in in that moment but we fought ourselves through those moments then we got a disallowed goal but there was no negative reaction at all we just kept on playing afterwards scoring three could have scored more uh two important saes from Ellie in the second half so everything was there and maybe the one was was most important is the work rate was incredible by all of them uh without the ball and that uh that makes it as a very positive day today yeah um first three games nine points no goals allowed which is the thing you're most proud of uh I I normally don't use the word proud but um what what I think we did very well in all three games is like I just mentioned is the work rate without the ball so uh we try to press the opponent as high as we can but if they play through or over or press I see um Everybody working really hard to make sure we don't need Alli and sometimes we do and then it's a good thing that we have a real good goalkeeper what impressed me most today was our U the way we played with the ball because I know what we can do without the ball uh but the way we played with the ball was I think also uh very good today let's go and on um most Sal post match interview with Sky said obviously this is the final year of his contract no one from the club has t to about New Deal how difficult would it be to replace a player of his quality if indeed it is the final year yeah it's a lot of if um but um at this moment he's one of ours and I'm really really happy with with him being one of ours and he plays really well so um we I don't talk about contracts um from players but I can talk for hours about how more play today but are you interested in that yes very much so uh he was impressive like the first two games as well but if we talk about an individual you don't do justice to all the other ones because I think today you saw a real good team performance uh playing out from the back high press midfields that keep on running so of course all the attention goes out to Mo and to Lucho um but that doesn't do justice to the other nine and the ones that came in go AR in what was your biggest game so far you've had your biggest win in simple terms is that something to with time is it the occasion or what what may brought out for more exacts I'm not 100% sure of all the people in in the Netherlands agree with you if my biggest game because fin out Ajax is also a quite big game but I think people all over the world see this as a bigger game than than final ATT so it was special to be involved in this game and it's only special if you win it and that's what we did so uh really pleased that we won it but maybe even more with the way how we did it today James H you your Midfield three were were absolutely superb today Ryan Ryan especially overwhelm United did you feel that was a area of the pitch where you could really really hurt them uh with the ball we fought yeah when we had ball possession we were hoping that we could find every time one of our midfielders open or threee but again also these three played a very good game I agree with you but they need their center backs to play the ball through the lines they need their center backs to be close to them for the moments that they are not cannot arrive that them was IBU there feril was there feril every time stepped into the Midfield defensively also and um like I said it was a team performance and you know me a bit now it's always about the team and then the individual can show himself and I think all all 11 of them and the ones that came in played a very good game but that's no coincidence because the team played really well James be there's OB been a lot of talk around the holding Midfield position you went to meny and didn't go for an alternative what what is it you've seen in Ryan that convinced you he can he can kind of be that that figure in that drove the team on today um his quality on the ball could be my first answer but I think coming from the Netherlands we all know how good he is with the ball uh so he can be a really important player for our buildup game but what impressed me most when I started working with him how much he can run and then how still how good he is when he arrives in the jewel and today you saw with him Dominic and uh and Maka how much they were able to keep on running because sometimes you're late but then they just kept on running and arriving in the jewel so that is the one thing that impressed me most about him how good he also is without the ball again only three game plays only games on from Saturday to Sunday or Sunday to Sunday so there's still lot for us to prove if you're going to play Champions League because I'm not don't want to be the one that spoils everything but two years ago was the last season that we play champions league and we all know how that season ended so uh there's a lot to prove for us if we play the difficult games in Champions League and still be good during the weekends last one Dave Anderson um AR clean sheets were initially for Li last season you've got three from three in your first three games what defensively do you feel you've done um I don't think that much difference so um you are used to uh if you follow Liverpool for longer time you used to them pressing really high and that's what we tried to do now as well and um yeah like I said the three games played the first two with ipswitch and brenford um were were difficult opponents let that be clear uh but I said before I'm not expecting them to end up in the top nine today we played with United a very good team with a lot of quality so it impressed me that we could keep a clean sheet although today we also needed a goalkeeper in two moments so um Good Start let that be clear but still a lot to prove
