In Liverpool's recent Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven, head coach Arne Slot praised 20-year-old midfielder James McConnell for his solid performance, despite the team's 3-2 loss. McConnell, making his Champions League debut, stood out with a team-high four tackles. Slot confirmed McConnell's place in the squad, ruling out a loan deal for him while admitting that some other young players might be loaned for more first-team experience. Additionally, Slot expressed sympathy for Amara Nallo, who had a challenging debut experience, receiving a red card shortly after being substituted in.
Slot praised McConnell's effort, stating, 'He is competitive in the training sessions... James plays and is competitive. He definitely deserves credit for his performance today.'
While discussing a potential loan, Slot firmly stated, 'There's definitely one that will not go out on loan: James McConnell. I liked him a lot today.'
On Nallo's debut, Slot remarked, 'It is cruel... to make your debut in the Champions League level is probably the hardest way.'
