Liverpool<\/a><\/p>\nLiverpool manager Arne Slot on why Premier League teams struggled in the Champions League last 16 – with four defeats and two draws from the six ties involving English sides: “[Important] not to jump to a conclusion after one game day. That’s such a small sample size, that’s never the smartest thing to do because maybe after next week we will completely have a different conclusion.”<\/p>\n
On whether scheduling is an issue?: “In general it is not helpful for English clubs not to have a winter break, but I am not saying that all these teams have lost because we don’t have a winter break. Why? Because in the last 16 of Europe you are facing very good teams. And five out of the four Premier League teams played away from home. <\/p>\n
“Let’s first judge us all after next week and then maybe even then it is too early to jump to conclusions.”<\/p>\n
Slot said margins were small in Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle games and added he did not see the 3-0 coming for Manchester City after watching the opening stages of that match, and he added: “Jumping to conclusions from one game is not usually what I would do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Don’t jump to conclusions’ about Premier League defeats in Europepublished at 10:01 GMT 10:01 GMT Liverpool v Tottenham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-521014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
