Arne Slot: “We've had quite some issues after the international break. Let's see how they are after training today.”
Arne Slot suggests Alisson's injury may have something to do with Liverpool playing Champions League on Wednesday evening then Saturday 12.30pm.
I like the fact he says that in Holland the CL teams aren't set up on a Sunday so that they can prepare for the midweek game coming up. Its the same with being given an early Saturday kick off after a Wednesday night game.
The PL just don't care and only think about the £.

Moaning in the press is one thing, but managers should be in the office of the bods who go to the PL chairman’s meetings and get it in the rules that the kick off times need to be adjusted.
Otherwise the TV companies will keep on doing it.

When the ambition for every team is to eventually be in Europe they should give a fuck.
The other solution is to give TNT and Sky the bare minimum for these crap kick off times. Don’t indulge them. One word answers and make it difficult for them.
With the current set up you can be picked 6 times per season to play Saturday at 1230. I don't mind playing early but we always get picked the maximum amount of times and often after playing Wednesday night. There should be a rule about those two things not happening. Same with playing Sunday - Tuesday.
Never going to happen.
FA/PL to Sky : you can have these crap games
Sky : no problem, that's just shaved £100m off the amount we're willing to pay for the package
FA/PL : Sorry you misunderstood. What we were saying is would you like Liverpool every Sat at 12.30 ?
Good Slot has.admitted his mistake playing Ali in back to back games straight after injury.
Hopefully he learns to manage his players minutes better than Klopp.

Moaning about kick off times pisses me off. Just as much as players moaning about more games.
We have a squad. Every club has a squad.
Would 3pm kick offs being televised help? Sure.
I've said for a while, the next logical step is having every game televised, and we Will probably go to a La Liga style set up.
Friday 8.00
Saturday 12.30
Saturday 2.30
Saturday 4.30
Saturday 6.30
Saturday 8.30 [Prime time as the yanks call it, will probably get a snazzy tune and a half time show]
Sunday 12.30
Sunday 2.30
Sunday 4.30
Monday 8.00
I reckon you’re probably right - the only real way for tv revenue for the league to grow significantly is by adding more games or slots tv companies can bid for and “premiumising” some of the slots.
Not sure an 8.30pm Sat game will work though.
Wouldn’t be too much of an issue if some of the games were played at the same time - don’t all have to be seperate time slots.
Ultimately it only really works if you get enough of an audience interested in watching Brentford v Bournemouth.
The PL/FA would probably make more money if it did it's own NFL style season pass. So much for all the games, so much for your clubs games, then so much for individual games. The price of sky is making it problematic, considering if you're a Southampton fan you might be lucky to see your team 3 times a season on tv? If you don't care for other sports then sky sports becomes mostly redundant.
I mean, i'd potentially pay a higher monthly cost if i had the option to whatever game i wanted, as well as all my own clubs games. Like, how much is sky sports/TNT/Amazon prime over a season? a fucking shit ton

Defo, soccer Saturday but with actual game footage
I have no idea what red zone is but when I stream the 3pm games I use Optus sports who show a main game but then goals from around the league when they go in.
All the foreign channels that I get on my dodge, have a 3pm Saturday show called "Goal Rush", where they will show one match, but jump to other ones whenever a goal or other significant incident happens. All matches are also available on dedicated channels, including the one that is the main event on Goal Rush, for those who don't want the interruptions.
On the odd occasion I want to watch the 3pm matches, and Liverpool aren't playing, I find the Goal Rush show a great way to do it

Same.
I think he’ll start, if Slot has any sense he’ll rest him midweek for the CL and leave him at home vs travelling again.
If he doesn’t start I’d really much rather see Endo in there against Palmer than Jones.
This is exactly what I get for 9 pound a month with Optus in Oz. Every single game live and on replay plus 3 min, 9 min, 25 mins highlights and 40 mins highlights for any of the big 6. It really is superb.
Yeah, but watching anyone other than Liverpool is only for insomniacs, right? I like the sound of the highlight packages - if you publish the schedule for them each week I'll never laugh at you again. I get the live match schedule on a daily basis, but the service doesn't go as far as giving me full listings, and the lack of specific schedules on the web seem to indicate Optus only publish them to subscribers
It was deemed that it would impact gate returns
