Arne Slot explains why Liverpool's lack of clean sheets not a big concern
Liverpool have only kept one clean sheet in the last seven Premier League games. For Arne Slot, however, this number is not very significant.
"I wouldn't say it's a concern but it's also not what we want because it was one of our strengths at the beginning of the season," Slot told a press conference.
"If I look at the amount of chances we gave away in the last seven games and I look at how many chances we gave away in all the games before, I don't see much difference.
"The only difference is that the teams we are facing at the moment – Forest, for example, had one serious shot on target and that was a goal. That is not normal in football and this has happened to us.
"United had three good chances against us and scored two, Tottenham had hardly any chances apart from the one when where Alisson lost the ball and the one chance they had in the end they scored.
"So, that is a phase in the season where you hardly concede anything but still they score. Crystal Palace away, that we beat 1-0, 10 minutes before the end they went one-v-one against Vit [Jaros] and that was a bigger chance than some goals we have conceded recently.
"So, sometimes you are a bit lucky and sometimes your goalkeeper makes a great save. But like the amount of chances we create, we hardly concede a chance and that has been the same for the whole season. But when it comes to collecting points I also see a bit of a difference at the moment compared to the beginning of the season."
