Liverpool vs Bologna: Arne Slot won't accept 'mediocrity'

Arne Slot has said he will not accept "mediocrity " at Liverpool as they look to build on their encouraging start to his first season in charge.

Slot took over from Jürgen Klopp in the summer after the German coach had spent nearly nine years at the helm, and has won seven of his first eight games in charge in all competitions this term.

Asked why he was upset with his team after their 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, Slot said it was a question on upholding standards.

"We as a team, if you have so much quality, you cannot accept mediocrity," he said at his news conference ahead of Liverpool's home clash against Bologna on Wednesday.
