Arne Slot on Alexander Isak: : “He is ONE of the best in the world, but for him to become THE best in the world… I think the best players in the world win trophies & that is what he needs to do and we need to do for him.”

“The most FSG summer ever.”

My children clubed together and bought me the special red Vinyl (L.P.s) edition of the Beatles Hits 1962-1966 * I know that I have said it before but I will say it again.

Why on earth did our generation decide that cd's were better because the sounds coming from the vinyl is absolutely wonderful.

Now let's see if my late dad's theory of where you are at Christmas will give a good indication of where you will be at the end of the season.

Slot asked about Chiesa's next steps: "What he needs is playing time and the problem is, if you haven't played for five or six months, it's difficult for a manager because you don't know what to expect. Maybe Southampton will be a good moment for him to get some minutes."

Slot on how #LFC compare to Feyenoord "The difference is that it's all a bit bigger over here. The training ground is bigger, the country is bigger so we have to travel longer & that takes more effort. The quality of the league is much higher than the Eredivisie which makes every game a battle"

Slot on Chelsea as PL challengers "It was maybe the only game where I felt the other team was better than us. They had more ball possession, threatening us more than any other until now so that was my opinion about Chelsea then. I have to focus on my own team but they have been impressive for sure"

Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa expected to be available to face Fulham, Arne Slot says.

Slot on Darwin Nunez "If you look at goals, he hasn't scored the amount he or we would like but he does have an impact in his work rate... He's part of a team that scores a lot & is winning a lot but as a no.9 you want to score more and he does" #LFC

Arne Slot asked about Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold approaching the point at which they can speak to other clubs: "It doesn't worry me, we just accept the situation as it is."

🧵 Very worrying from @priceoffootball.bsky.social on his podcast re the £30 away ticket cap:

Well there is nothing like FSG to light the touch-paper on a Monday. Unfortuantely, I have been expecting this morning's news for weeks. Had they wanted Mohamed Salah to sign a new contract, it would have been done in the summer.

Michael Edwards and his side-kick Richard Hughes need to go.

BREAKING: Mohamed Salah claims he is yet to receive a formal offer from Liverpool, admitting he is "disappointed" not to have made a breakthrough with the club over a new contract.
