Liverpool manager Arne Slot remained unfazed by Trent Alexander-Arnold's visible disappointment after being substituted in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Brentford. Slot emphasized the importance of managing Alexander-Arnold’s fitness, noting his busy schedule with the national team and the need to preserve him for the entire season. Slot praised the performance of both Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah, who scored the goals, and acknowledged the deeper challenges ahead, specifically mentioning the upcoming match against Manchester United. Slot’s tenure has started positively with two wins, but he stressed that Liverpool still has much to prove. The manager also highlighted the strong backup presence of Conor Bradley, who replaced Alexander-Arnold during the game.
