Arne Slot praised Liverpool's performance following their victory against Newcastle, affirming their position at the top of the Premier League. He highlighted the squad's mental resilience after a series of challenging games and the effectiveness of resting players during the FA Cup elimination. Slot pointed out that while their performance wasn't flawless, the players managed to elevate their game amidst scrutiny. With 10 league matches left, Slot stressed the importance of maintaining fresh players for upcoming fixtures, especially in the Champions League.
"After Everton and Wolves people started to question us a bit. Normally when players get questioned you see extra work rate from them, so that's normal, but if you get a lot of compliments eight out of 10 players can get complacent but these players found an extra gear."
"We all know how emotional Everton was, then Wolves and two difficult away games at Villa and City so to show up the way we did tonight, and hardly concede a chance against a very good team like Newcastle, is a big compliment to how the players handled these 15 days."
