Arne Slot has so many things to think about over the international break.The Reds have hit a bit of a lull at the moment, with this pause in the season perhaps coming at a very convenient time for them. Three successive losses have left a lot to be desired, with Slot now having to try and work out what went wrong, and more importantly, how to fix it.The hardest part of this task is where to start, as there are plenty of areas that need addressing, although some should take priority.And there is one dilemma that needs a resolution that former Red Conor Coady believes will make at least one player unhappy, suggesting Slot needs to think carefully before making any decisions.
