Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has insisted there is much more to come from his side despite an impressive start to pre-season against Real Betis in the USA. The Dutch coach also gave an update on the injury that Curtis Jones sustained in the friendly.
"We had more than a good few moments in our high press and one of the main things was that we only conceded one big chance at the end of the game," Slot said live on LFCTV post-match. "In the first half, we controlled the game but the choices that we make can and will be better in the future. We created five or six really good attacks and the goal was a fantastic example of that.
"We played with a double 10 that we're not going to do during the season but we don't have a striker at the moment. Once we have a center forward, we will set up a bit differently."
Curtis Jones picked up a knock in the first half and he was replaced by Trey Nyoni, mainly as a precaution. Slot is not expecting the Scouse midfielder to be missing for long, though a full examination of the issue is yet to be undertaken.
"We're not expecting it to be worse but ideally he would have played on of course," Slot said. "I don't think it's a big problem but we have to wait and see when they test him tomorrow. He did really well in the last few weeks but someone else came in and Trey (Nyoni) played quite well.
"I said yesterday that I'm not going to name any youngster that caught my eye but if you see that he comes in after 30 minutes, you could expect that I meant him. He just turned 17 so his body is not grown yet and he needs some time to get stronger.
