🚨 NEWS 🚨
🗣️Slot on deadline day:
"A lot of things happened, which isn't always the case. Thing that pleased me most is getting deal for Alex over line. Richard and ownership worked so hard to get deal done. Good for club, players, fans and for me that their hard work results in that."
🗣️Slot on Guehi:
"It would be ridiculous if I'm going to deny we were close to signing him. These things happen in football. We would like to sign him and if we feel we can strengthen with chance in market we never hesitate. But Ibou and Virgil and Joe played outstanding v Arsenal."
🗣️Slot:
"Gio Leoni had his first international call-up and Wata and Ryan can play there. It's a pity (about Guehi) but he's at a good place at Palace under a good manager. Let's see what the future brings."
🗣️Slot on Isak:
"Swedish manager deserves big, big, big compliment as he gets one of best striker in world in, with two very important games for country but understands if player has two 90 mins he could be injured for multiple weeks. Not easy for a manager. We will treat Alex same."
🗣️Slot:
"Don't expect Alex to be on for 90 minutes in every game over the next few weeks. He missed pre-season so it's going to be a challenge. But we signed him for six years not the next few weeks, fans have to bear that in mind if they see him not playing."
🗣️Slot on Harvey Elliott:
"Another positive thing not only Harvey but I look at Luis Diaz how he hit ground running is a big compliment for our performance staff, Tyler Morton the same at Lyon. In interest of everyone for Harvey, he didn't get playing time he deserved for the player he is."
"Everyone talks about Mo and Virgil and the others when we win the league, but players like Harvey were also important, he had the right mindset even if he was only playing 10 minutes here or there."
🗣️Slot:
"I feel have variety in attack to change things, but it's not the first time as Liverpool manager. I could last season with Diogo, Lucho and Darwin. That is what a club like Liverpool could do, it's normal for a club like this to have multiple options."
🗣️Slot:
"I think the players are fit, we train today for the first time with most of them. Curtis got injured in the last game and will not be available v Burnley. Rest of them all came back without a problem. That's not always the situation after international break."
🗣️Slot on Burnley:
"Last season with promoted teams, we had problems at Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton, we only won them in the end stage of the game. We know every game is difficult and I only have to look at last season to know that."
🗣️Slot on Isak:
"I haven't spoken to him that much. I spoke to him after he signed on phone as he had to go to international team. 99% of the time in international break I leave the players to their international managers. I have to get to know him better as a person."
🗣️Slot on Isak:
"We mainly sign a player for his qualities. I know what a quality player he is."
🗣️Slot on Isak/Guehi transfer situations:
"I don't think you can compare any situation with another. Different owners, different situation. I always felt we needed an extra attacking player and so happy I could bring in the one we wanted from the start."
🗣️Slot on Federico Chiesa not being in CL squad:
"That is one of the most difficult things you have to do as a manager. Not always easy to tell player he's not playing, more difficult to say not in squad. He wasn't happy but he understood argument - not to say he agreed with it."
"He said he'd be there to help the team in all the other competitions."
