Alisson “will be out for a few weeks”published at 3:59 p.m. British Summer Time

FT: Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool

Liverpool

Liverpool coach Arne Slot in conversation with MOTD: “Very good first half. There were also phases in the second half that were okay to good.”

“Before they had chances in the second half, we also had an open chance with Jota. We should have scored a second chance sooner.”

“He works in a smart way. He works very well without the ball, but with it he always knows when to drop low and when to play higher. He has a lot of tactical knowledge. This helps us in certain parts of the game. He scored a very good goal, but we also have to thank Cody and Kostas.

“They have been great all season. Not just in defense, but also in the way they start our attacks well. So many good things with the ball and without the ball too.”

On Mac Allister and Alisson's injuries: “Mac Allister was a bit of a surprise for me. He came at halftime and said it didn't feel right. So we didn’t take any risks.”

“With Alisson it is clear that he will be out for a few weeks. Maybe the FA should look at this, if you play on Wednesday night, why do we have an early kick-off in an away game? Or they have to take care of me and me. If I change all my players, that might be bad luck too.

“The positive thing is that Jaros did really well last season as a loan player. He became champion and won the cup. He really wanted to play. He was outstanding today.”
