The Arsenal boss said when asked if Liverpool will be a good side under Slot (via football.london): “I think so. We all have to start competing and earning our right to show how good we are. But the team’s looking good. With the games I’ve seen in preseason, it’s clear what he‘s been trying to implement. It was a tough game for us.”
Arsenal started the game much better than Liverpool but failed to create enough clear-cut chances. That’s something Arteta knows has to improve if the Gunners are to challenge for the Premier League title after finishing runners-up in the past two seasons. He added: We have to punish teams. Especially with the aggression that we played with and the amount of times that we won the ball in dangerous areas and then not enough happened. It happened basically the other way around. That’s where we need to improve.
“It’s an area where we can obviously improve. The first chance they had they scored and that’s what makes the difference as well. When you’re in those spaces in the box putting the ball in the net. We created the situations. We had two or three more big situations as well. We have to improve.”
