The start of the season in the Premier League

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has spoken about what he is pleased with in his team's performances in the first weeks of the season and what still needs to be improved.

"The mentality. You have to bring in a lot of new players because a lot of them have left, and then if you have to start the season against Bournemouth, who were already very good last season and have six points again this season, away against Newcastle, which is one of the toughest away games for every team in the league, and then at home against Arsenal, which is definitely one of the top three or four toughest games of the season, that's the level we're at now, and that's respectable. We're not perfect, but then we weren't perfect last season either."

But you can still see that the team has a great mentality and everyone wants to work hard to get a result, and then you need a bit of luck, which we had at Newcastle and in London. "But I've said it many times, I think it was Michael Jordan who said, 'The harder we work, the luckier we get,' and I think that's true of this team. They work incredibly hard, and there will be times throughout the season when we work just as hard and we're not going to be lucky with goals, but we always give ourselves a chance because we work so hard," Slott said on Liverpool's official website.
