Mamardashvili will start in goal for Liverpool after first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker was injured in a recent Champions League match against Galatasaray.

Slot praised Mamardashvili's skills, saying, "We knew we were bringing in a very good goalkeeper. When he plays his first game, it's the best way to see if he's adjusted well or not, and we saw against Southampton that he adjusted really well to our club, which isn't a surprise as he is a quality goalkeeper."

Slot also discussed the team's recent losses, saying that he saw a team that wanted to try everything to get a result against Galatasaray, but ultimately came up short. He acknowledged that the team needs to find a way to succeed without relying on luck or set pieces.

Slot also talked about the team's recent struggles to create chances and score goals, saying that they are happy with the amount of chances they are creating, but need to score more.

Regarding Mohamed Salah, Slot said that he is part of a team that faces different opposition than the first half of last season, and that they need to adapt to the new set-up and find more goals from open play.

Slot also discussed the performance of Ibrahima Konate, saying that he has been one of the players who has lost the ball easily in recent games, but that it's not just him that has made mistakes.

Slot acknowledged that the team needs to make adjustments from last season, saying that teams are playing differently against them now than they did last season, and that they need to find new ways to succeed.
