As a result of Liverpool are at the moment one of the best crew in England and Europe, we’re not being allowed to say the truth that we’re being crippled by accidents however Arne Slot has lastly been allowed to.
Talking in entrance of the press earlier than our match with Manchester Metropolis, the Dutchman was requested whether or not he thinks our health considerations have been ‘underplayed’ this season and said:
“I believe typically folks solely speak about accidents if the outcomes usually are not there, so it’s factor that no one talked about our accidents.
“That implies that we received our leads to. However the second you begin to lose it’s a couple of kick-off time on a Saturday afternoon or it’s about accidents or we all the time provide you with sure concepts why, particularly me, we didn’t win.
“However 9 out of 10 instances it’s concerning the high quality of the gamers from the opposite crew or their recreation plan.
“We do have some crucial gamers for us being injured but when the replacements accomplish that properly it’s regular that folks don’t speak about it that a lot.
“It’s true that lacking Alisson, which has been a starter for this membership and been so vital for this membership for therefore lengthy, lacking Diogo Jota [and] lacking Trent within the final two video games – these are gamers which have had affect rather a lot on the outcomes lately.
“Nevertheless it’s factor we don’t speak about it.”
It’s a sometimes stylish reply from our head coach who all the time appears to discover a approach of addressing and highlighting an issue, thus placing it within the public eye, however does so with out making an outrageous declare that creates unfavourable headlines.
Arne Slot has handled the harm issues and questions brilliantly
Had the 46-year-old stated that we had been being unfairly judged it will have created extra headlines in a unfavourable sense however this was excellent.
Seeing as he needed to begin the press convention with affirmation that Ibou Konate and Conor Bradley had been our newest gamers to sit down on the therapy desk – it’s not like the problem goes away.
The one solace we are able to take is the affirmation that Trent Alexander-Arnold has been declared match sufficient to start out the following match with Manchester Metropolis.
Fingers crossed we are able to safe victory, open up an 11-point hole and never decide up any extra accidents!
