Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said that Chelsea have been the only team ‘better’ than them this season and ‘threatening’ to the Reds.

Jurgen Klopp’s Anfield departure hasn’t fatally hit the Merseysiders as many thought that the club will see an underwhelming dip in their class and performances.

But somehow new head coach Arne Slot has managed to elevate the PL giants to another level as they now top both PL and UCL points tables.

Slot has managed to secure 11 wins in 14 PL games and are still undefeated in the UCL after six games played so far.

The Dutchman has made the team look even better than of Klopp’s. However, the Anfield side has struggled only a few times so far in this and Slot recently addressed that.

Arne Slot heaps praise on Chelsea

Recently the Dutch manager spoke about the October’s meeting with Chelsea where they registered a hard-fought 2-1 victory and said,

“It was one of the games, maybe the only game, where I felt the other team was better than us during that game.

That’s not to say for the long term they are better than us but during the game they had more ball possession than us and were threatening us more than any other team until now.”

Expressing his view of this current Chelsea team and how well they will do in the PL, the former Feyenoord boss said,

“I’m not there to judge which position they will end in the league table. I have to focus on my own team but Chelsea have been impressive this season so far, that’s for sure.”

The London side also recently appointed Enzo Maresca as their manager and has performed exceptionally well.

Standing at the second place in the PL points table, the Blues have earned 31 points in 15 matches and are undefeated in their last six PL games.

The acknowledgement from Slot just shows how genuinely he appreciates the Stamford Bridge side and their rise from previous failures.
