Today’s Main LFC Headline Woodman, Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper, is set to make his club debut next week as part of a rotated side for the Carabao Cup tie against Crystal Palace. Slot has used domestic cups to rotate his goalkeepers and with Mamardashvili stepping up to the No.
It would not be a new move for Slot, who handed Vitezslav Jaros his first Liverpool start at Brighton in the Carabao Cup last season in the absence of Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher. Andy Robertson debate has raged on this season and although Slot swerved a question on his selection thoughts, he did explain his new signing has been a “bit unlucky” • Kostas Tsimikas has featured just five times for Roma, and his manager Gian Piero Gasperini has explained that his exclusion is down to “a technical choice” – not exactly promising (Tuttomercatoweb) • Mohamed Salah‘s lack of goals is not concerning Slot considering his incredible feats for the club – if he could stick a few away on Saturday that would be lovely!
More from This Is Anfield The focus of Liverpool’s attack is gradually shifting away from Salah and he must adjust to that, writes Keifer MacDonald: “It is quite a contrast to where Salah found himself last season, when he was so central to Liverpool’s plans to win the Premier League that Slot effectively freed him of any defensive duties as part of a trade-off for his vital contributions in the final third. “This season, though, as Slot looks to put his own stamp on the Reds, he would be naive to centre his plans around a player who appears to be physically declining and also facing an uncertain long-term future at Anfield after signing only a two-year deal earlier this year.” READ: Mo Salah may no longer be Liverpool’s main man – and he must adjust to that Elsewhere in the football world today • Rafa Benitez has made a surprise return to management, taking charge of one of Greece’s most historic clubs, Panathinaikos FC.
