Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot commended his team's mentality after their 2-0 triumph over Newcastle, extending their lead atop the Premier League to 13 points. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister scored, while Arsenal's draw against Nottingham Forest has put Liverpool closer to the title. Slot emphasized the importance of his team's mental strength, especially after past criticisms, and downplayed complacency. He stated that his focus is currently on upcoming matches, particularly against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, rather than the Premier League standings.
"I think what impressed me most was the mental strength in both games [against Newcastle and Manchester City] because after Everton and Wolves people start to question us a bit."
"If you get a lot of compliments eight out of 10 people get a bit complacent. Only the ones who want to achieve something don't."
"I don't know because I don't think that way. I think about Paris Saint-Germain [in the Champions League] already."
