MOODY MO NO ISSUE FOR SLOT

LIVERPOOL will get a reminder of their glorious recent past when they attempt to breathe new life into their faltering title defence this evening.

certain to be recalled for tonight's clash at Brentford, Slot has no qualms over the 33-year-old being upset at not starting.

“I hope he is not ever going to take it well, because the moment you start to accept that you are not playing any more and you are fine with that, then you miss the fire that is needed to play at this level," said the Liverpool boss. “It's quite hard for a player to understand why he’s not playing. They all see football through their eyes.

“But if I can select one player who has the ball 12, 13 yards from goal and must score to save my reputation, I would have Mo in that position.

“Now he needs to show that he can get into those positions.”
