Thomas Frank and Brentford have been through a few league rounds against the best opposition the Premier League has to offer this season. Arsenal, Manchester City, then Liverpool. The Dane is hailed by Pep Guaridola as a coaching genius every season. Now Frank comes up with the conclusion on which of the three giants are in a class of their own.
1-3 loss against Arsenal. 2-2 against Manchester City. On Saturday, it was time for a home game for Brentford against league leader Liverpool. The Bees held their own against the Premier League leader until 90+1, then narrowed to two goals in injury time to 0-2.
Although Thomas Frank almost ran away with points against Arne Slot, the Brentford manager was in no doubt about the level of Liverpool under the Dutch manager.
“We have just faced City and Arsenal – and now Liverpool – in a short space of time. As far as I can see, they (Liverpool) are a level above the other two teams,” Frank begins, according to the BBC.
Last season under Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool were a long way from matching City and Arsenal, in the 2022/23 season Klopp was nowhere near matching the two.
-They are completely complete. Their work ethic and the way they bounce back are good indicators. They are so good all over the pitch. They are the best team in the entire Premier League – and in the whole world. They are big favourites to win the title,” the Brentford manager boasted after facing Arteta, Guardiola and Slot.
If we are to follow Thomas Frank’s analysis based on his experience in the Premier League, Arne Slot has lifted Liverpool well above the level Jürgen Klopp led the team to in the last two seasons.
And we who thought it was not possible to top Mester Klopp.
