"Liverpool” coach Arne Slot has recently, after a barrage of defeats, not shied away from using various excuses.

Despite having spent a lot of money in the summer, the Dutchman believes that the "Reds” squad is too small to properly rotate and prepare for all matches.

After the last 0:3 defeat against "Crystal Palace” in the League Cup, the Dutchman said: "We do not have as large a squad as people might think, whose concentration might be on the big money spent.”

If I had played today with Virgil (van Dijk) or Ibs (Konate) and they had gotten injured, people would say it was a silly choice.

Moreover, even with our key players, it wouldn't be easy to overcome "Crystal Palace,” said "Liverpool” strategist A. Slot.
