Saunders: Slott is asking for trouble by fielding a young lineup. He should rotate like Arteta.

October 31st Liverpool coach Slott was criticized for fielding a young lineup against Crystal Palace in the League Cup. Former Liverpool striker Dean Sanders questioned Slott's choice, believing that he has many players available and should follow the example of Arsenal coach Arteta in rotating the lineup and retaining experienced players on the bench to ensure promotion.

Saunders said on talkSPORT: "Picking this lineup is asking for trouble. When I saw this lineup, I immediately thought of two things: either I want to get out of the cup, or I want to focus on the next five games. But as a coach, he chose this lineup to mean that he has passed "The bench told me everything."

"Look at what Arteta did, he put experienced players on the bench just in case. Usually, the best players sit there first and if things don't go right, you can adjust immediately. Crystal Palace is a strong team and he sent the U23. squad to play against Crystal Palace. Why doesn't he leave some firepower on the bench, I don't know. "

"The fans will say, 'Wait a minute, you spent £500 million to build the team and you can't get everyone on the bench. Why don't you give them a chance? 3}

Finally, Saunders added: "Football management is about finding ways to win games. At the moment, he is struggling to find ways because he has too many resources and he has signed too many players."

Liverpool will face Aston Villa at the weekend, and the team hopes to stop the downward trend. After this game, Liverpool will face two tough battles, first against Real Madrid at home in the Champions League, and then against Manchester City away from home.
