Arne Slot casually swears in middle of Liverpool press conference as fans say ‘I love him already’

LIVERPOOL manager Arne Slot was caught casually swearing in his latest press conference ahead of Sunday’s match against Brentford.

The Dutchman took over from Jurgen Klopp this summer and has already established himself as a fan favourite – even though he is yet to make a major signing.

In his pre-Brentford press conference, Slot revealed he is focused on improving and developing the current Liverpool squad.

He touched on the likes of Jarell Quansah, Joe Gomez and Ryan Gravenberch among other stars.

But when discussing Gravenberch, the 45-year-old casually dropped the s-word.

Slot said: “I think he brings in certain qualities which we like in that position. But he’s only played three games in that position and those times he’s played really well – against Manchester United, Sevilla and Ipswich.

“Only one of them was a game that ‘matters’ in terms of a Premier League game so he has a lot to prove in that position still but first games he did well.

“But like with all of them it’s not about the individual it’s always what the team around him do for him to play a good game.

“Because if all the other time we would’ve played s**t at Ipswich I don’t think Ryan would’ve been able to play a great game.”

Fans watching on the live feed were left in stitches, with one person taking to social media to write: “Go on Arne lad!”

Another commented: “Wasn’t sure when I watched the Slot presser this morning.. I wasn’t hearing things .”

A third said: “HAHAHA, I love him already!”

While a fourth wrote: “Starting to warm to him!”

Slot took charge of his first Premier League match on Saturday.

Liverpool earned a 2-0 win over Ipswich at Portman Road thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah.
