Liverpool manager Arne Slot says his team are not the only side struggling to create chances from open play this season, insisting many clubs are facing similar challenges despite criticism of Liverpool’s recent attacking output. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 INTRO 00:30 defeat v Wolves: Not the first time this season it has happened. Enough chances to win the game. We didn't convert into goals. And not for first time this season their first shot on target led to a goal. 2:00 A rep concern if we lose in the same manner but the way we concede goals in last minute aren’t the same they aren’t big chances they’ve been shots outside the box. 3:04 On conceding goals: Is it our approach? Not too sure about that as we want to win that game. We're Liverpool. We want to win every game. It's not like we push Virgil or Ibou forward every time. 3:12 Importance on game tomorrow: we can't win the Premier League or League Cup. Qualification for Champions League is massive as we all know. But that's not on line tomorrow, FA Cup is 4:11: the approach is not different we always press high and try to attack. 6:09 Arne Slot on Cody Gakpo: “attacking isn't just down to Cody and Mo in the same way defending isn't just down to Virgil and Ibou. Let's create even more and the goals will come.” 7:16 Slot on ‘same old story’ comments: Not all the games have improved in terms of creating chances. But we're not the only team that finds it hard to create from open play. It's the qualify of the league that makes it more complicated. 9:00 Slot on potential changes:  “We have a few but we don't have 11. I always have options to bring in and players can bring in and let them start. 10:04 Slot in decisive part of the game: Every part of it will be decisive. We will try to find answers with the players we have available. 12:20 Team news/ Wirtz He trained half and half with the team yesterday. He made the next step in rehab. Let's see where he is today. He could be aailable for a few minutes tomorrow in the best scenario. Everyone else fine. 15:0
