We've had same chances in Premier League where we have missed.If we would have had the same set-piece balance as in Champions League we wouldn't be seven points behind Arsenal at the moment. But I don't expect Jeremie to be fully fit for Forest.09:21Ian DoyleSlot on Salah increased defensive workI have noticed it as well, it has helped the team a lot as main focus on players who score lots of goals is goalscoring.It's very important for us to have Mo scoring goals but it's important for us to have Mo play like he did at City last season where he got a goal and an assist and helped team out defensively, which is what he's done lately.09:19Ian DoyleSlot on Robertson againHe has done really well in the last three games.I was very pleased to see he was able to play almost 90 in his last game.



Hard to play three games in seven days.It's so helpful for every individual if the team plays at its best which is what I think we did in the last few days.He has been calm on the ball and done his job defensively.Being over 30 doesn't tell me anything if I look at Virgil, Mo and Robbo - all three won Premier League last season and played a big part. We would like to have him in and around the 18 yard box centrally or a bit more off the wings for him to create the amount of chances he has.09:08Ian DoyleSlot on MadridWe have reached that level of performance in other games as well when the playing style of opponent was compared to that.We haev always known we can do so, I've shown them many times when playing styles are the same we can do what we did against Madrid.It was helpful the other team did what we expected them to do.

We are focused on improving and getting players fit and we'll see where that leads to.09:06Ian DoyleSlot in the shopNow we can begin...09:02Ian DoyleWaiting on ArneHe's late again. Honestly... tsk.08:39Ian DoyleWelcome from KirkbyBit of a damp one today.But we're here at Kirkby to discuss all things ahead of the Man City game on Sunday.Let's do this!Paul WheelockGood morningAnd how are you this Friday, morning?I'll tell you one person who should be in a good mood: Arne Slot.Why shouldn't he be after that win over Real Madrid in midweek.We'll be hearing from the Liverpool head coach from 9am.
