Arne Slot urges Liverpool to take dominant European form into domestic campaignBy Carl Markham, Press AssociationLiverpool head coach Arne Slot was delighted to have qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League but even he admitted the 6-0 thrashing of Qarabag was unlikely to quell the noise surrounding their domestic form. But Slot knows if they cannot transfer that form to Saturday night’s visit of Newcastle then the scrutiny will not ease. But despite having a squad which is shrinking by the game Slot does not think there will be any late movement in the transfer window. “What we don’t want to have is a squad where we have four right-backs and 12 midfielders and three or four number nines. That’s not how it works over here so we have to do the smart things for the near future, but also for the longer future.
