Peter Crouch not interested in Arne Slot’s excuse for Liverpool loss Appearing on the same broadcast, the former Liverpool striker questioned Slot’s excuse of Liverpool’s small squad and their busy schedule.He said: “They’ve been outrun again today, is that justifiable by the fact they’ve played in the Champions League or not?
I don’t think it can be just because, you know, Liverpool, they’re going to be playing in the Champions League, you know, the club’s had a rich history in European football, that’s just part and parcel of it.

I know it’s difficult, and you have injuries, but that’s why you have the squad. “It’s a difficult thing to do, but it’s something that a club like Liverpool has notoriously had to do, and will do in the future.”Pretty straight from Crouch.
