“Oh no!” Liverpool coach stunned by Arne Slot’s training moment • Liverpool coach left in disbelief by Arne Slot’s afternoon training feat
Aaron Briggs could hardly believe what he was seeing as Arne Slot emerged as the only member of Liverpool’s coaching staff to beat the crossbar challenge. Several of the Reds’ backroom team had taken part in the light-hearted wager before training got underway.
The Premier League title holders are preparing for a Saturday evening trip to London to face Tottenham.
Aaron Briggs responds to Arne Slot’s training moment
Liverpool’s set-piece coach was seen shouting “Oh, no!” before turning away as Slot’s floated effort struck the bar.
“I like the cameraman behind,” the Dutch head coach joked before walking away.
A welcome moment of levity during a difficult spell
Moments like this feel especially valuable when Liverpool appear to be going through a challenging period. The atmosphere around the club looked set to worsen further after Mohamed Salah sparked fresh debate with his recent candid comments to the media.
Yet the response since then suggests the squad has firmly rallied around the manager and remains committed to bringing the club back to its former high standards. Consecutive victories over Inter Milan and Brighton & Hove Albion point to genuine progress, but Liverpool must continue to show resilience and consistency as the new year approaches.
The team now needs to convince supporters that this is not just another false dawn, where optimism is quickly replaced by frustration and underwhelming performances. Fans deserve more than fragile hope as the club looks ahead to 2026.
