Arne Slot Makes Feelings Clear on Premier League Enjoyment as Liverpool Adapt to New Reality
- On Monday, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he no longer finds most Premier League games a joy to watch and added, 'My football heart doesn't like it'.
- Set pieces, he argued, explain rising competitiveness, and Slot said 'you can almost hit a goalkeeper in his face' and still play on in the English league.
- Recent matches show corners deciding top fixtures; Liverpool scored three from corners in a 5-2 victory over West Ham yesterday, and Arsenal's two goals from corners in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea.
