Head coach Arne Slot don gather reporters for AXA Training Centre on Friday morning to yarn about how squad dey cope as dem dey enter November with international break don finish carry their oyinbo players come back.
Slot talk say no be small issue, as some of him players dey on injury list. For example, Andy ‘Robbo’ Robertson no do training on Thursday, but e go join the squad today. Alisson Becker don train well well last week and this week, so if everything dey alright, e go stand for goal when dem face Forest.
But wahala dey, as Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz no go fit play dis week. (E be like say these boys don carry muscle injury, and we sabi say muscle na serious matter for football). Slot no too happy with the development, but e don accept say na part of the game.
“If Alisson fit, na im go start,” na wetin Slot talk about im goalkeeper. E get plenty fixtures dey land, and if dem no manage players well, na wah go burst everywhere. Dem dey chop up five defenders for seven matches within 22 days, which fit turn to cassava for dem. (Like say dem wan use one leg walk enter three different places).
No be everybody dey fit carry the weight; even new boys dey try. Slot yarn say Alex Isak suppose play more for Sweden but na only two yellow cards land am wahala, so dem no fit use am how dem wan. Chai! If na im be dem coach, e no go let that one pass.
Conor and Florian go dey miss as the fixtures dey come, and e no be lie say na miracle dem need to come back within 22 days. Dem no wan rush anything since muscle injury fit be like bad belle plot for body.
And dem dey look at potential solutions for right-back position, as Dominik Szoboszlai dey shine well for different positions. E don dey play midfield and full-back like say na im be the team wahala. Joe Gomez fit play there too, but Slot dey cautious with am because if e get injury again, e go be like na witch dey follow dem. Na wetin we dey call tactical management!
As dem dey prepare for Forest match, Liverpool fans dey look forward to see how the squad go perform. E go sweet if dem fit manage injuries well and get positive result. No be small pressure dey on dem head as the season dey hot!
