Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has laid his cards on the table, the FA Cup, Champions League qualification, and the Champions League itself being priority for Liverpool this season. 00:00 INTRO 00:25 Wataru Endo injury: We still need to do some assessment but it is clear and obvious that he will be out for quite a long time. 00:46 Not the first time this season we have to play a lot of games part of being a big club 2:10 Where is this as a priority? We have 3 clear priorities, FA Cup, CL qualification and CL. We are also aware of the limited options so the load management is important 3:20 Academy football: I am always looking at the younger players, a few of them are closer and closer to first-team football 4:40 Van Dijk He is vital of course, not even looking at the centre-back options, Virgil is fit every time and that is a big accomplishment for a player of his age, plays every 3 days but it is no coincidence because I see the work he puts in 7:17on set pieces: My first thought was no because I always say they are almost impossible to win a game of football with a negative balance and every game is big now because of the strength of the league but look at where the league has gone to 8:46: on Kerkez and Szoboszlai: The energy borh bring is important, Milos has shown this season defensively Szoboszlai, I cannot stop talking about his qualities, close to ridiculous, on and off the ball, 9:20 Arne Slot on Brighton : There are a lot of comparisons between Brighton and us. They absolutely don’t deserve to be in the position they are in. They deserve so much more than they have. 10:00 Team selection: “I need another 24 hours to decide on the line up. Load management is so important right now. We'll listen to how the players feel and then make the best possible decision." 12:38 Defending a late lead: The margins are not happening then he turns and scores, but Ibou defended it perfectly and those are the margins we are talking about."
