LIVERPOOL MANAGER ARNE SLOT SENDS OUT A WARNING TO THE REDS' RIVALS AFTER TEARING TOTTENHAM APART TO SET-UP CARABAO CUP FINAL WITH NEWCASTLE
- Liverpool cruised to Wembley by putting four past Tottenham in the semi-finals
- And Reds boss Arne Slot insists that his side are only going to get stronger
- LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Does the Premier League REALLY need to look at goal celebrations?
Arne Slot warned that Liverpool are only getting stronger after they booked their spot in next month’s Carabao Cup final.
The holders will return to Wembley and face Newcastle after goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk saw off Ange Postecoglou’s beleaguered, injury-hit Tottenham.
Liverpool, the Premier League leaders, are still fighting on four fronts and Slot said: ‘For me there are two reasons we are becoming stronger (this season). When you play more together, the more meetings and training sessions (help us).
‘The more games you play the stronger you become physically. Some people think you get tired but as long as you manage it well some players will get stronger.’
On reaching his first final in English football, Slot added: ‘It is pleasant, although if you know me a little… my thoughts are more on Sunday (FA Cup game against Plymouth). But our performance pleased me most.
‘Reaching a final should always be special, even for this club. We are working every day to improve. But we are also in this business to play finals.’
Captain Van Dijk was equally delighted and hailed the special occasion. He said: ‘Nights like this where there’s a lot at stake, getting to a final again, we don’t take that for granted, we all wanted to go there again with the fans.’
