"On the eve of this week's game in the bowels of the Stade Velodrome, he was asked about those memories. He was also bizarrely and rudely asked about Xabi Alonso's links to the Liverpool job. Any noise surrounding the future of the Liverpool boss was quietened by a trademark European away performance from his side, who added Marseille to Eintracht Frankfurt and Inter Milan as the teams they have beaten on their travels this season."
"Liverpool last lost a game in November. Crucially for Slot, it was a first win in a game that Mohamed Salah started for Liverpool since November 4, when they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League. It now looks like a line has been firmly drawn after Salah's interview at Leeds and both player and manager can move on for the betterment of the football club."
"If there's one player in the history of Liverpool that can score goals, it's Mo Salah." It was a night where Salah did not add to his club record of 46 Champions League goals for Liverpool, even though he really should have when he fired wide in the second half, but the assurance with which Liverpool played in a 4-2-2-2 setup will leave Slot delighted and may well give him food for thought for the coming weeks."
Arne Slot recalled positive memories in Marseille from 2022 and faced questions about Xabi Alonso's links to the Liverpool job. Liverpool produced a trademark European away performance, beating Marseille and adding them to the list of strong away victories this season. The side extended an unbeaten run to 13 matches across all competitions. Mohamed Salah started for the first time since November 4 and, despite missing a clear chance, demonstrated professionalism. Liverpool operated in a 4-2-2-2 setup that provided assurance and may influence Slot's selection decisions in the coming weeks.
