Liverpool forward set for central role as Arne Slot philosophy revealed

Diogo Jota believes he will get more opportunities to play a central striker under Arne Slot given the Dutchman s philosophy on wingers.

Slot has shared his belief that Jota is a better central option for Liverpool and Jota has agreed with the coach.

Jota revealed that Slot wants his wingers taking players on in 1v1 situations.

“Yeah, I agree, especially with the way we played, Jota told club media after Slot s comments on the front line.

“It’s obviously a bit different from [Jürgen] Klopp where I maybe was useful out wide. I think here he [Slot] wants our wingers a lot more in one-v-ones and I think we have better options than myself!

“If I stay in the middle and wait for those chances to come in and score them, I think that is what I d…

Coventry 1-2 Tottenham: Spence and Johnson strike late to save Postecoglou blushes

Late goals by Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson helped Tottenham avoid an almighty upset at Coventry in the Carabao Cup.

Spurs were set to follow up Sunday’s painful derby defeat to Arsenal with a 1-0 loss in the third round after Brandon Thomas-Asante fired the Championship side into a deserved lead after 63 minutes.

Moments earlier, Ange Postecoglou’s decision to substitute Lucas Bergvall had been met with boos from the away end.

However, with time running out and Postecoglou’s bold prediction last weekend of always winning silverware in his second season being set to come back to bite him, Djed Spence found an equaliser with three minutes left.

Spot-kicks were still on the cards until Rodrigo Bentancur played through Brennan Johnson, who chipped h…
