Arne Slot looked like a boy on the naughty step after misbehaving in a classroom.
He knows the punishment for his actions after the ill-tempered Merseyside Derby may be more severe than writing lines in detention – but his press conference on Friday was basically the Liverpool manager repeating the same mantra: I will not disrespect referees again.
Slot, for the first time on these shores, had a slight controversy to deal with. Nothing major but it felt more headline-grabbing than his usual Friday audiences as he was pushed on the fact he lost his temper at Goodison Park.
