Following his side’s Bigger Cup win over what currently passes for the reigning champions on Wednesday night, Arne Slot told TNT Sports he was looking forward to spending a little bit of downtime with his family, who were over in Merseyside for the week from the Netherlands. While it might have seemed an odd thing for a Premier League manager to admit with a game against Manchester City to prepare for, one suspects most Liverpool fans wouldn’t have batted an eyelid if he’d announced he was going to spend the next few days slumped in a Bold Street doorway while painted bright orange and slurping from a bottle of Buckfast, because in Arne they trust and if that’s what he thinks will help get his side a result on Sunday then it’s fine by them.
