Going into today’s press conference, there was one man that everyone expected Arne Slot to have to discuss. However, it wasn’t Trent Alexander-Arnold but his fellow right-back Conor Bradley that provided the most interesting update, as he nears a return to action following injury.
The build-up to the Merseyside derby featured plenty of talk about their neighbours, currently in their best run of form of the season and rejuvenated under David Moyes. There was also plenty of discussion around the international break and Liverpool’s back-to-back defeats that preceded it.
On today’s press conference review, topics include:
- Have Elliott and Chiesa earned Arne Slot’s trust?
- The case for playing Chiesa up front
- Slot’s secret message to the officials
- How the Anfield crowd can give Liverpool the upper hand
- The effects of a lack of a winter break on the players and head coach
- Have Liverpool put more effort into defending set-pieces?
- Why Slot had a stat ready for me
