When asked about his current crop, he explained: "We miss nothing, I'm happy that you asked this question."I'm completely happy with the team, with all of the quality we have, and I'm also completely convinced by the policy and the strategy that we have.

I'm a firm believer in the fact that 20, 21 players are enough, but you have to keep them fit as we did last season. So it has nothing to do with the squad depth, it has to do with how we've went through the season in terms of injuries and availability, and players available to play every single time two games in three days."It comes after Alan Shearer criticised Slot for his controversial choice of words following the loss to Crystal Palace, in which the manager bemoaned his side's limited options despite investing £400million in new additions this summer.An update on Ryan GravenberchElsewhere in his press conference, Slot offered a positive update on midfield maestro Ryan Gravenberch, explaining how the Dutchman has returned to training after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during Liverpool's 2-1 loss to Manchester United earlier this month.He said: "Ryan trained with us yesterday, the other two [Isak and Curtis Jones] didn't yet," before he was probed on a timescale on the others.

I think all the other games we deserved much more than we got. And we hardly conceded a chance, even this week with the team I put out which played for the first time together - I think they only conceded three big chances, unfortunately all three went in but that's because they were big.
