Arne Slot has explained his decision to play Curtis Jones through the middle of the Liverpool attack against Man City. Darwin Nunez was left on the bench at the Etihad.

Liverpool were in dreamland on Sunday evening as Arne Slot ’s more-than-impressive maiden campaign continued after cruising to a 2-0 victory over an out-of-sorts Manchester City – but a new report has revealed which player received a ‘rollocking’ from the Dutch tactician in the 89th minute.

The difference between Liverpool’s performance level in the first half and second half against Southampton should see a lot of credit handed to Arne Slot.
