JUST IN: Liverpool Ace send Mind blowing claim to Nottingham Forest Saturday Clash following latest Nunez and McAlister recent injury doubt.
Arne Slot’s full Liverpool squad returned to the AXA Training Centre on Thursday following the first international break of the 2024-25 season, with their focus now on Saturday’s clash against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
Slot has had a perfect start as head coach, with the team collecting nine points, scoring seven goals, and conceding none in their first three Premier League games. Saturday’s match kicks off a demanding run of seven games in three weeks before the next international break.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Andrew Robertson shared his thoughts: “It’s good to be back home. After traveling during the international break, it’s great to be in front of our fans again, and we’re hoping to continue the momentum we built before the break.”
Robertson also noted the unique start to the season, with plenty of time between early matches, leading to more training. However, the upcoming schedule is more familiar, with back-to-back games requiring contributions from the entire squad. While Slot has kept a consistent starting XI so far, Robertson believes rotation will be necessary for the busy period ahead.
Liverpool ended the last stretch of matches on a high with a 3-0 victory over Manchester United, following 2-0 wins against Ipswich Town and Brentford. Reflecting on the squad’s mood, Robertson said: “We’ve started the season well with three clean sheets and solid performances. Now, after the international break, it’s important to keep that rhythm and momentum as we enter a busy period.”
Liverpool’s three consecutive clean sheets under Slot have been a team effort, according to Robertson. He praised the entire squad’s defensive work and noted that the backline has limited goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s workload. He added, “Defending is a team effort, not just about the back four. Everyone has been working hard, which has helped us limit shots and chances against us.”
Looking ahead to the Forest game, Robertson acknowledged the challenge, recalling tough encounters from last season. He praised Forest’s attacking talent and solid defense under Nuno Espirito Santo, noting the difficulty in playing against them. However, Robertson remains confident: “We know their strengths, but we also need to impose ourselves. If we keep playing the way we have, we should be in a strong position for the three points.”
