LONDON - Liverpool manager Arne Slot continued to temper expectations of his side after a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Arsenal on Oct 27, though he hailed the Reds' fighting spirit after twice going behind.
After a record-breaking start to life at Anfield, winning 11 of Slot's opening 12 games in all competitions, Liverpool recorded their first draw of the season in a pulsating encounter at the Emirates Stadium.
Slot, who has repeatedly said it is too early in the campaign to pass judgment on his side, returned to his familiar theme after snatching a late point.
"I know you guys (the media) like to talk about title contenders and where we are exactly in the league - and that's also part of your job," he said.
"The only thing I look at is: Can you get a result in a difficult away game like this one?
"The way we did it pleased me a lot... to see that we can compete with such a strong Arsenal team in their stadium, that is very pleasing to see.
"But where that exactly will lead towards the end of the season, I cannot tell you yet."
