As Liverpool prepare for their trip to Arsenal this weekend, former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter has praised the club for allowing Arne Slot to begin his reign under “stable conditions”.
Speaking on the Planet Premier League podcast, Potter said: “It looks like he has been there for a while. You have got to give credit to Liverpool as well, because don’t forget all of the so-called ‘experts’ were talking about them not signing any players in the window and losing out on players, etc.
“It wasn’t a crisis, but the club were almost getting criticism for it. But maybe they just looked at it and thought: ‘Actually, our squad is quite good. We are quite stable here. We just need a good coach.’
“They have identified that. Arne Slot’s record at Feyenoord was fantastic – he did an amazing job there – so he is obviously really competent.
“Liverpool were very confident with who they had [brought in] and then they have just allowed him to work in stable conditions.
“As a coach, that is what we all would like.”
