With a trip to Chelsea to come on Saturday, we have named three players Slot should start in the Champions League and three he should leave out. START – Andy Robertson As abovementioned, Kerkez has not had the smoothest of introductions to life at Anfield as he settles into a new way of playing under Slot, and now he can be taken out of the fire.
Perhaps errors are more obvious next to the colossal Virgil van Dijk, but he needs a player competing against him to bring out his best, so why not task Joe Gomez with just that? Gomez looks assured when next to Van Dijk, and although he may need time to settle having only played 119 minutes this season, he is more than capable of establishing himself as a regular starter.
He should not be limited to cup matches only, this is a top-class defender who has proven time and time again what he is capable of when fit. He has played 630 minutes already and while he can always conjure a piece of magic out of nowhere, there is no reason why that cannot happen from the bench.
