"For me, this tells us how good the Premier League is this season, as it already was last season but it gets better and better every single season -- for obvious reasons, because everybody has so much money,"
"That tells you how close the margins still are. It's definitely our first aim to come back to the top four because we are obviously not happy with the position we are in at the moment."
""It's completely normal," Slot said. "If I don't play players I have just brought to the club we are already talking about it so then it is completely normal that people talk about it when he isn't playing. Every player is in my mind to start a game of football because we have so many good players. Mo has been such an exceptional player for us. He is always in my mind to either start or come in.""
Liverpool have won only two of their last nine Premier League matches. A 1-1 draw with newly promoted Sunderland at Anfield left the club ninth in the table, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. The immediate objective for the season is to regain a top-four position. The Premier League is described as increasingly competitive and expensive, producing very fine margins between teams. Mohamed Salah was omitted from the starting lineup for a second consecutive game and was introduced at half-time. Squad depth and strong competition for places mean every player is considered for starting opportunities.
