Arne Slot on Liverpool's 5-0 win against West Ham in PL

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot shared his thoughts when asked about his squad's performance against West Ham United in the Premier League. The Dutch manager opined on having five separate goalscorers in the match and said (via the club's official website):

"I like to see this because if you only rely on one player when it comes to goals that is mostly not really helpful, although it's also nice to have one that scores a lot. But then to see that others score goals and threatening the other goal as well is pleasing to see. It's not only the one that scores the goal, I think the lead-up towards the goal is also very positive from our point of view."

When asked if the Reds have improved in December, Slot said:

"Maybe we are a bit better, but it's not like we've increased enormously. What we did increase is scoring goals. There were games were we could've scored many more goals, but we didn't because we missed a few chances. Even today I think it was at half-time 3-0, but after 10 or 15 minutes we could've scored three easily with the quality we have."

The Reds maintained a ball possession of 54% against West Ham while having 13 shots on target and creating nine big chances.
