Jamie Carragher has suggested that Arne Slot‘s “hilarious” comments about Tottenham before Liverpool’s 6-3 win against them played into the Reds’ hands.
Slot’s side produced their biggest statement of the season on Sunday, securing a thrilling victory away to Spurs.
Granted, the hosts were missing key players, not least centre-back pair Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, but Liverpool performed like Premier League champions for large periods.
Spurs’ gung-ho nature is seen as reckless by some, but Slot had nothing but praise for Ange Postecoglou last week, hailing the “great work” he is doing by matching the “identity” of the club, also asking, “how on earth can you play too [much] attacking football?”
Speaking on Sky Sports after Sunday’s game, however, Carragher hinted that Liverpool’s head coach played a blinder, in terms of encouraging Spurs to attack the Reds and play into their hands.
