Roy Keane expresses astonishment at Liverpool’s impressive performance under Arne Slot, who has led the team to the top of the Premier League and a strong showing in the Champions League.
Liverpool is currently nine points ahead in the Premier League. They also recently won a crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid, beating them 2-0. This victory came just before their impressive win over Manchester City.
Keane is clearly impressed with how quickly Slot has made a difference. He humorously remarked that anyone who predicted this success at the start of the season would need to be “locked up.”
Many expected Liverpool to face challenges after Klopp’s departure. The team ended the last season poorly, and it seemed they were not in the best shape. However, Slot has exceeded expectations.
Keane praised Slot for his achievements so far. He noted that if someone had said Liverpool would be in this position at the season’s start, it would have been hard to believe.
Keane mentioned that there was not much pressure on Liverpool since they did not spend heavily in the transfer market. Still, Slot’s performance is impressive, especially as it is his first time managing in the Premier League.
Slot was well-regarded at Feyenoord, but many managers struggle when they first come to English football. Even top managers like Pep Guardiola faced difficulties.
Liverpool fans are thrilled with the team’s current form. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain this success, especially since their schedule has been relatively easier compared to rivals like Arsenal, who have faced tougher opponents.
