"We are not starting to work on it now because we are constantly working on where we can improve."There is not a lot talked about this but it is 88 minutes that Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz were together on the pitch together."So let’s first find out and work out how that works together and that can give us so much more. I know why you ask this question."Slot added: "How the league has changed is maybe not so much to do with the winger position that we need to recruit."But we are aware that football has changed in England.

We will always try to have our own style, but we cannot shut our eyes for the new reality and that is that it's not only low blocks, it's also set-piece after set-piece after set-piece."One of the reasons why we haven't been successful in the first half of the season was mainly set-pieces. Yes, I'm fully involved in next season and we have these discussions as well.

But there are more things that you have to be aware of like set-piece, defending all these long throw -ins and all these pieces that teams do."Maybe having someone that has a long throw-in because when we had this with Joe Gomez we immediately scored against Nottingham Forest. So you try to make the team as best as possible, and that's why replacing Mo on a one-on-one is probably impossible."So we have to find a way of making it work that the team is stronger but it would already make our team much stronger if we've got Alex, Hugo and Florian together available for a bit more than 88 minutes this year.
