Had things worked out differently in the summer, Joe Gomez would be preparing to play against #LFC rather than for them tonight. Slot was pleased he stayed & couldn't have been more complimentary of the CB who is set to play a big role with Konate out. www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

Arne Slot was in good form this morning and had time for a cheeky joke. When asked about Salah's reference to his "last game" for #LFC vs City, Slot joked that maybe he knew that the outcome of the 115 alleged PSR charges will be relegation. www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

Arne Slot says the form of Caoimhin Kelleher means there's no need to rush Alisson Becker back from injury. Alisson will return before end of month. Also will be creative due to lack of defensive options. TAA's game time will be managed in next two. www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

Following @simonhughes1983.bsky.social's story on Mohamed Salah contract situation... A column on why a 1yr extension feels like a no-brainer for FSG & #LFC. The compromise with the lowest risk, even if means doing it all again in a year's time. www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

Data and analytics have been at key cog in FSG and #LFC's success. The numbers will factor into their contract decisions, including Salah, & they only strengthen the case as to why, even at 32, a new deal should be favoured over trying to replace the irreplaceable. www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...
