Sep 24 (Askume) – Liverpool manager Arne Slot said it was important to secure Trent, who has been with the club since childhood, as he looks to replace his beloved former manager Jurgen Klopp · Alexander Arnold’s trust is a good thing .
England’s Alexander-Arnold, who has played 231 games for Liverpool, praised Slot’s coaching at the weekend and said he welcomed the Dutchman’s criticism.
“I think we all remember the day Jurgen left us and what that man meant to him… so it’s great to hear him say that about his new coach,” Slaughter told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s League Cup third game.
“It’s not always easy to replace a coach like Klopp,” he said.
Slott said he wanted to field his strongest team against West Ham as Liverpool look to defend their title but lost to AC Milan in the Champions League last week and in the Premier League on Saturday.They will have to make adjustments to their team after beating Bournemouth .
Slaughter said goalkeeper Alisson is out with a muscle problem so Ireland player Caoichan Kelleher will replace him. He said forward Federico Chiesa, who joined from Juventus late last month, was ready to play but not ready to play the whole game.
The manager said: “We all want to win something but there’s a long way to go. We have to win this game tomorrow… it’s a tough game against West Ham.”
