Liverpool preserved its flawless Premier League start with a 1-0 triumph over Arsenal ahead of the international break. The encounter between last season's leading duo was decided by a stroke of brilliance as Dominik Szoboszlai's 30-yard free-kick rippled the net.
The Reds had previously dispatched Bournemouth and Newcastle United prior to their meeting with the Gunners and presently occupy the summit of the table. During a recent instalment of Inside Training, Liverpool supporters began speculating online about modifications being implemented at the club's training facility.
Sharp-eyed fans were swift to observe and highlight that some of the campaign's finest moments have been displayed on a wall within one of the training chambers, reports the Liverpool Echo.
It has subsequently been revealed that a 'Liverpool win wall' has been established at the AXA, with Linda Pizzuti, spouse of Reds' principal owner John Henry, confirming the development on social media.
Replying to a post theorizing about the alteration, Pizzuti penned: "Liverpool win wall."
Liverpool resumes proceedings on Sunday against Burnley, and despite Alexander Isak potentially making his bow, Slot has urged supporters to remain patient with him should the 25 year old fail to complete the full 90 minutes.
He stated: "First of all, I think the Swedish manager, Jon Dahl Tomasson, deserves a big, big, big compliment because he gets one of the best, maybe the best striker in the world in and needs to play two very important games for his country, but understands if he would play him twice for 90 minutes, the player would have probably been injured for multiple weeks.
"That is not always easy for a manager, that he takes care of the interest of the player, so he deserves a big compliment for that and we will treat Alex the same as they did.
"So, don't expect him every single game 90 minutes on the pitch – that's definitely not going to happen in the upcoming weeks.
"He missed a proper pre-season, I think he missed three or four months of team sessions, so now we have to build him up gradually with us playing so many games and [having] very little training time.
"So, that's going to be a challenge, but we've signed him not only for the upcoming two weeks, we've signed him, I think, for six years.
"So this is what we have to keep in mind and what the fans have to keep in mind if they see that I take him off at a certain moment or I only bring him in for a small amount of minutes. That's all for the long-term fitness of the player."
