Arne Slot: Liverpool can use early Champions League exit in Premier League push
"If you look at the 15, 20, 25 players with the most minutes this season, a lot of them are from us. That tells you a lot and one of the reasons why we have been a bit inconsistent, maybe why we have conceded so many late goals, because it is always the same players."
"Maybe from that perspective, it is a good thing we are not in Europe any more, but I would definitely prefer to play in Europe because that also gives an energy to the group if you go to the semifinal of the Champions League."
"It is always a very special game, doesn't matter if it is the 60th being played in the stadium, but, if it is the last one being played in a stadium or a first one, it makes it even more special, if that's even possible."
Liverpool's focus shifts to securing a top-five Premier League finish after their Champions League exit. They currently sit in fifth place, four points ahead of Chelsea. Manager Arne Slot notes that the team's heavy reliance on a core group of players has contributed to inconsistency. While he acknowledges the benefits of a lighter schedule, he expresses a preference for European competition. The upcoming match against Everton is highlighted as a significant derby, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it.
