Leading the Premier League table by eight points, about to discover its Champions League last-16 opponent having topped the group phase, and already having booked its place in the Carabao Cup final, things are going well for Liverpool.

"I can accept every miss, especially from a player that has scored two very important goals against Brentford, and that's scored for us in the home game against Villa," Slot said during his pre-match press conference.

"I would prefer him to score but the word 'chance' says it all — it's a chance, so it's not 100 per cent sure that the ball goes in.



It's not about the chance for me, it's more about the 20 minutes afterwards where I want to talk to him about than about him missing a chance."

It has become pretty clear this season that Nunez is not exactly what Slot is looking for at Liverpool.

Arne Slot embraces Darwin Nunez during the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Liverpool.

While the Liverpool boss was keen not to blast Nunez for missing another big chance, Slot also made it clear that what came after that wasn't acceptable.

With Wataru Endo not offering anything like the same skillset at the base of the midfield, someone more stylistically suitable is a must.

Liverpool remains in an excellent position to win at least one trophy this season and if Slot wins the league title at the first time of asking, that would be a monumental achievement
