LIVERPOOL (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “A defender in the January transfer window? Given our current position, that’s the last thing on my mind. For me, it’s not an issue at the moment. We have three central defenders, with Gravenberch and Endo able to adapt. You may not know it yet, but we’re worse off in other positions.” Arne Slot thus dismisses the transfer market issue after the restart, with Liverpool having made a strong start to the season and now losing five of their last six Premier League games, slipping to eighth place, eight points behind league leaders Arsenal.
This is also why the Dutch manager assures that “we’re not thinking about or talking about the title. It was the same last season when we were top of the table; it’s just about the next game. The best way to judge a league table is after 38 games. The second-best, in my opinion, is after 19 games. We’ll see where we are then. For now, our only goal is to win games.”
In recent days, Andy Robertson spoke about how difficult it was to overcome the grief over Diogo Jota’s death. “Tomorrow we play against Nottingham Forest. Last season we were 1-0 down there, and they only needed a minute to equalize. So now I’m talking about the player, who we certainly miss. That we also miss him as a person is equally clear.”
