The Liverpool manager addressed the media at a press conference at the AXA Training Center prior to this weekend’s match against Gary O’Neil’s Wolves.
If you were to ask me right now, “Is there any away ground where you like to go and think, Oh my God, we have the points already,” it would be the Premier League, and the answer would be no. Certainly not as well as wolves. They lost a few crucial players in the late stages of the window, and the manager absolutely did not want to lose Matheus Nunes. And as you scan the lineup, you may find yourself saying, “Wow, that’s real quality.” They still have Neto and other guys, so it’s a very, really fantastic football team, and that’s the squad we train for. Players like Hwang and Kalajdzic don’t even start. Were unlucky already thus early in the season, which is something that occurs to all of us, but not all of these decisions inevitably result in a poor outcome. In their case, I believe it was like that. We must be prepared for a significant fight, which is what we anticipate.
Not so much the dynamic. Even with Trent, we must be adaptable; if you closely examine the game against Villa, you will notice that he was not assigned to any certain midfield position. In this situation, we will employ flexibility. However, if you are aware of another passer that can play this position and can compare to Trent, please let me know. It must be okay, and it will be okay. Although we must adjust to the various skill sets of the players, defensive solidity remains the most crucial factor in this game. When we understand it, we may begin to play.
If you are not steady, you do not need to consider that, which is why I believe that many people may not have been convinced of our final line before the game against Aston Villa. After that, you witnessed Joe Gomez and Joel Matip performing at that level and possessing those qualities, which is extremely fantastic. Thus, that served as the game’s essential factor, and Alexis in front of them performed admirably. Stability on defense is a prerequisite before we can start playing football.
