- One player felt unwell the night before and did not travel, Slot said. Another felt something late in the session, and there is a chance he is back for Sunday.
- Slot has a lot of respect for the Galatasaray manager and said a recent win with 10 men shows how the team fights. The first meeting was a 50-50 game settled by a penalty.
- Slot said the whistling here when Liverpool had the ball was so loud it was new for him and his most experienced players. The good thing is they have already experienced it once.
- Asked who is the best choice at left-back, Slot said Robertson and the other left-back have both played many good games recently. It is his choice, and people will see tomorrow.
- Slot has used five or six players at full-back and mostly had only 13 or 14 players available. Now he can play someone there because it is the best decision, not because there is no one else.
“…as always, it's never about the manager. It's always about the players.”
- Slot said Liverpool have a lot of the ball but create fewer chances than expected, and open chances are becoming rarer across football. With games every three days, much of the work is on video.
- Slot said teams now defend man-to-man or drop into a low block with all 11. Winning lots of set pieces is one way to break that, and Liverpool have scored much more from them.
