Liverpool coach Arne Slot appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow's confrontation against Bournemouth, in the fifth round of the English Premier League.


The coach said: “There Doubts about Alisson's participation tomorrow, but let's see if he can train today and if he can't, he probably won't play. We will have to wait and see."


He added:" Bournemouth? They started the season on a high note, with an away win over neighbors Everton that caught my attention more because they were 2-0 down late in the game, but I think Andoni Iraola has done a great job in their place - he develops players and has style. Good play, it's great to see great football.”


He added: “We hope we can perform better against Bournemouth tomorrow than we did against Nottingham Forest last week.” “The past.”


On the fixture schedule and his choice of team: “I don’t know if you know but in the Netherlands we also have the Dutch Premier League, so we also play matches on the weekend and in Champions League or Europa League, so we also play in the middle of the week."


"He added:"  But the main difference is that the English Premier League and all the other leagues in Europe play During Christmas and New Year. Those moments are the biggest difference between this league and all other leagues. But, maybe that's what you mean, the strength of the league, the quality of the league. Like Bournemouth, this is much higher than if you were playing against a team not in the top six. This is where the difference makes.”


He continued: “Nunez is like the rest, he has to work hard and the goals will come. It's the same with Jacobo, when you play the goals will come but for me working without the ball is also important. Darwin will get his chance in the near future as we play a lot of matches. He is ready and knows very well what we want from him. He arrived with great confidence from Copa America.”


He concluded: “We are well aware that we have to do something for our fans to be with us, and I do not think we did that enough against Nottingham. I prefer to focus on ourselves as a team, when we perform well the fans will enjoy and it's up to us tomorrow but maybe the fans can give an extra boost."
