Thomas Frank responds to Arne Slot's comments on Micky van de Ven's challenge on Alexander Isak which left the Liverpool striker with a significant lower leg injury. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:13 - team News: same as Liverpool game. 00:27 - Solanke and Kulusevski: Same as always. 00:41 - Close?: Yes and no. Much better to speak about the when they’re fit. 01:00 - Appeal Simons Red?: I’d like to but if we do it we won’t get anything from it. 01:27 - Slots comments: I disagree. We’re talking about a defender who does everything to stop a goal. Unfortunately Isak planted his foot. If my defender didn’t do that he’s not a true defender. 02:50 - Romero: not because it’s Cuti but I speak to players in general. Every player needs to have cool heads.

If I have to hold their hands then we have a problem. 07:35 - injuries, overcoming it: I’m confident of good results. Right now we need to deal with the players we have available. 08:00 - Palace and Glasner: he’s done a top job. Incredibly good on the counters, so good on set pieces. 09:10 - Similar system to Man United, trying to finding solutions: similar approach to how they approach games. You can’t compare those two teams, two different beasts. 10:16 - angry team need to calm down?: I understand they you’ve asked. Big difference to player being disappointed about being subbed off. If you don’t play with emotion and passion you don’t play to win. 11;15 - different to Brentford: I can’t remember and other game like this. 11:56 - Most difficult spell as manager: this season? I can only affect what I can affect, I’m not that good. I see a lot of similarities to my first job. 13:46 - Working hard on setbacks: it’s with me and the coaches. I’ve worked with a lot of psychologists in my career, now w
