Cantwell out
Byram out
Placheta out (but in the Poland provisional world cup squad for next round of internationals )
Zimmermann out
DF starting to sound like all the managers in the past who were on their way to the sack.
We need to be nastier and harder to play against. We need to win games to build confidence but it will be hard as I'll be making changes tomorrow.
Df says that we have been unlucky with the quality of opponents so far....Watford come on that should have been 3 points and this is the premiership we are going to play the best teams in Europe at some stage.
He says he wasn't happy with the lack of fight from players after the second and they spoke alot about it after the game. He says he knows why it happened. He totally understands the fans booing.
“It is one of the topics we spoke about in our meeting and I was not happy with this. I think it is a bit understandable once you know you have players who are so highly motivated, perhaps even a bit over motivated, to get a result. This is because when you have momentum in a game and you concede cheap goals everyone is so disappointed. This happens to a young, more inexperienced side with several debuts on the pitch. I have mentioned that I was not happy with this and this is why, deep inside, I was also booing. I also have the knowledge about some individual situations of the players. I didn’t like it, but I see a bit the human being and for me that is a bit easier because I know what happens in their private lives, but the last few minutes (against Watford) were definitely a topic in our meeting."
Liverpool could be without
Trent Alexander Arnold (illness)
Neco Williams (knock)
Firmino (hamstring)
Harvey Elliott (ankle) and Thiago Alcántara (calf) are definitely ruled out.
