'Lacked that authority Jurgen had'

There were question marks over whether the players truly believed in Arne Slot's methods. One club source, who was also at Liverpool during Jurgen Klopp's tenure, said: "Arne's a great person but you always felt he lacked that authority Jurgen had and that became more evident when things weren't going well on the pitch." The departure of veterans Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and now Ibrahima Konate is telling too.
