'Not a joy to watch' - Slot alarmed by PL's set-piece obsession

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has admitted his "football heart" is struggling to adjust to the ways of a modern Premier League, claiming the division’s growing obsession with set-piece routines is making matches a chore to watch. The Dutchman, who won the title in his first season at Anfield, believes the tactical shift toward crowded goalmouths and physical dead-ball plays has turned the English top flight into an outlier compared to its European counterparts. Despite Liverpool’s own recent success from corners, Slot warned that this "new reality" is set to dominate the landscape for the foreseeable future.

10 best-value signings of the January window
