LONDON - Arne Slot demands constant improvement from his players, even after they win matches.
Liverpool's next match is at home against Fulham in the English Premier League on Dec 14, and the Dutchman expects a reaction from his players following their midweek 1-0 Champions League win over Girona which he "wasn't pleased" with - despite maintaining their 100 per cent record in Europe's elite competition.
The Reds have not played a league game since a 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Dec 4 after Storm Darragh led to their Merseyside derby against Everton last weekend being postponed.
They remain four points clear at the top of the table, with a game in hand.
"You can't concede the amount of opportunities we gave away in the first half (against Girona)," Slot said on Dec 13.
"And with opportunities also mean the amount of times they could just go over our midfield, and just keep on running to our 18-yard box. And if you play against even better teams, that will harm you.
