Slot unhappy with set-piece goals
Arne Slot says he was pleased with both the offensive and defensive display in Liverpool's final pre-season matches against Athletic Reds played back-to-back games against the Spanish side on Monday with an aggregate score of 7-3."I think in both games we created a lot of chances so that's very pleasing to see because we definitely didn't score every chance we had," Slot said. "That pleased me most, the ability to create the chances and even to score seven goals over two games is also good."The other games in pre-season, I think we've conceded a few chances too much. Today we hardly conceded anything at all, so that pleased me as well. But then to concede, especially in the second game, two set-piece goals, that's not what you want – especially if you play Crystal Palace [on Sunday] who are a team that are very strong on set-pieces."On his attacking options: "We've lost two quality players with Diogo [Jota] and Luis Diaz but we've added with Hugo [Ekitike] a player that's going to be a very good player for us. Rio [Ngumoha] is showing good things every time in pre-season."
