The Liverpool manager is assessing the team’s situation ahead of their upcoming match against Spurs. With the recent losses by Spurs, it seems like an opportune time to play against them.

However, the absence of Van Dijk could pose a challenge for Liverpool. The manager mentions that Van Dijk might be participating in team training, which will influence their approach to the game.

If Van Dijk is unable to play, Ibrahima Konate is likely to step in and partner with Jarell Quansah in central defence. The manager emphasizes the importance of improving the team’s confidence, especially in the aftermath of a game.

He acknowledges the emotional impact that games can have and emphasizes the necessity of regaining confidence and flow during training. The manager also discusses the challenges that players face, stating that they are constantly under scrutiny, especially during difficult periods.

He highlights the need to support the players in their development rather than constantly criticizing them. The manager emphasizes the importance of enjoying football, noting that winning is key, and defending the players is crucial to building their confidence.
