BETTER OPTIONS? THE REAL REASON ARNE SLOT REFUSES TO START CALVIN RAMSAY
Arne Slot confirms he will not use Calvin Ramsay against Sunderland despite losing four right-backs. Read the full injury report.
Arne Slot has said that he isn't planning on using Calvin Ramsay, even though Liverpool has some injury problems at right-back.
The Reds are heading to Sunderland on Wednesday night with a few defensive selection issues.
Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, the team's first and second choices for right-back, are both injured. Dominik Szoboszlai, who can also play on that side of the defence, is suspended.
Joe Gomez might be back from his injury, but his return is still uncertain, and Slot will also be without centre-back Giovanni Leoni.
When asked about Ramsay at a press conference on Tuesday, Slot said, Usually, if you lose a game, the players who aren't playing suddenly seem like the best ones. It happens everywhere.
This is another example. I want to support all my players. I've picked other players until now, and I'll continue to do that tomorrow.
Slot mentioned that Gomez could be back and that midfielders Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo could also play right-back.
Liverpool does have Calvin Ramsay, a right-back, available in the squad.
The Scotland international joined from Aberdeen in 2022 but has only played three times for the first team and hasn't yet played in the Premier League.
It doesn’t look like Ramsay will get a chance on Wednesday, as Slot explained why he doesn’t plan to pick him.
Joe hasn't practised with us yet. 'I think he'll be back today,' Slot said.
If Joe can't start, we're missing four players who can play right-back. Curtis and Wata have played there before, so we've had six different right full-backs.
Ramsay signed with Liverpool for over £4m under Jurgen Klopp but has spent time on loan at Preston, Bolton, Wigan, and Kilmarnock.
He's been with the first team this season, sitting on the bench during Sunday's loss to Manchester City at Anfield.
That was the eleventh time Ramsay has been on the bench in the Premier League this season, and he hasn't been used.
TRANSFER DEFENSE: ARNE SLOT BREAKS SILENCE ON SELLING LUIS DíAZ TO BAYERN MUNICH
Arne Slot defends Liverpool's decision to sell Luis Díaz for €75m, citing club sustainability and Alexander Isak's injury woes.
Arne Slot thinks all the talk about whether Liverpool misses Luis Diaz this season has only gotten louder because Alexander Isak’s still out.
Isak’s first season at Anfield has been rough. He’s started just six Premier League games, hasn’t played a full match since joining from Newcastle last summer, and hasn’t even set foot on the pitch since December, when he broke his leg while scoring the winner against Tottenham. He should be back soon, but honestly, Liverpool’s attack struggled for a while. People were quick to complain about their lack of goals and creativity earlier in the season, even though lately they’ve found more rhythm up front.
Luis Diaz set a high bar when he was at Liverpool, and since he left, pundits keep saying the club messed up by letting him go last summer.
But Slot isn’t second-guessing that decision, even with Diaz racking up 32 goal contributions for Bayern Munich this season.
“You always miss top players. He was huge for us last year, but he wasn’t the only one who mattered,” Slot said before Liverpool’s upcoming match at Sunderland. “Plenty of players made a difference in our results. I think we’ve brought in some really good replacements, too.
“And to be honest, if Alex had stayed healthy, would people even be having this conversation?”
Bayern paid €75 million for Diaz, a sum Liverpool just couldn’t turn down for a 28-year-old with two years left on his contract and big wage demands.
The club didn’t want to meet those demands, and when Bayern came calling, the move made sense for everyone.
“Luis Diaz is a great example of how this club is run. If someone offers that kind of money for a 28-year-old, Liverpool, because we care about sustainability, we will sell. That makes us kind of an outlier at the top of the Premier League,” Slot said.
“But that’s also what makes what we’ve done lately so impressive with this model. And honestly, seeing Diaz thrive at Bayern doesn’t surprise me at all.”
TOP FIVE HOPES FADE: DISCOVER JAMIE CARRAGHER’S BRUTAL PREDICTION FOR LIVERPOOL’S SEASON
Jamie Carragher claims Liverpool will miss the Champions League after a late collapse against Manchester City left them in sixth.
Jamie Carragher doesn’t see Liverpool grabbing a Champions League spot this season. Sunday’s loss to Manchester City hit them hard—especially since Liverpool had the game in their hands until the last ten minutes. But City turned it around, snatched the win, and left Liverpool’s hopes hanging by a thread.
To make things worse, City managed to beat Liverpool both home and away this season. Now, Liverpool sits sixth in the Premier League, stuck on 39 points after 25 games. They’re just four points behind Chelsea in fifth, but Carragher doesn’t think that gap matters much. The way he sees it, Liverpool just don’t look like a team ready to make a comeback and claim a Champions League place.
On Sky Sports, they asked Carragher if he thought Liverpool could still make it into the Champions League, especially now that five spots are up for grabs instead of four. He didn’t hesitate: “No. Right now I don’t. They’d need a huge turnaround in form. The teams above them are flying.”
Four points isn’t a mountain to climb, but Liverpool have been all over the place this season. Sure, they put together a decent run at one point, but lately, Slot’s side can’t find its rhythm. They’ve only managed one win in their last five league games.
They had a real chance against City; a win could’ve changed everything. But they let the lead slip. And with Chelsea and Manchester United both picking up steam, it’s tough to see Liverpool catching up. Carragher’s convinced the Reds just don’t have enough in the tank to overtake those teams.
Talking about the City defeat, Carragher said, “It’s a bad one. Looking at the league, it feels like a long road to the top five Champions League places. There’s a gap now. You can close it, but Liverpool will have to focus on the two cup competitions to save their season.”
With their league form so shaky, Slot needs to make the cup competitions count. That’s probably Liverpool’s best shot at salvaging something from this season, because right now, keeping up with United and Chelsea for a Champions League spot looks out of reach.
