Rodri out for the season according to bbc

Allison has done an interview with the BBC and there is a stark difference between what he is saying and what Trent was saying,

"Alisson's journey took him from Internacional in his homeland to Roma in Italy and on to Liverpool in 2018.

His honours with the Reds include the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup. A devout Christian, he puts his success down to his faith and work ethic.

"My main motivation is not the prizes, the trophies - my motivations come from inside," said the 31-year-old, who is expected to return to the Liverpool side for Saturday's Premier League trip to Wolves (17:30 BST) following a two-game absence.

"My faith in God makes me work hard and better and want to be the best in what I do because I believe everything I do is a way to praise God. Winning trophies and awards makes me happy, but my motivation comes from inside, my family." "

Further down the article he has this to say,

"Part of Slot's training regime involves his keeper training more with the outfield players as the new manager, Alisson says, "wants to play more from on the floor to build up from the back".

"We were great before but Arne is bringing to us a new energy and knowledge," said Alisson. "He is a really smart manager and he is helping us a lot. You can see from how we are playing now.

"We are committed to the plan and can see it is a good plan. We still have a lot to improve but we are in the right direction. We have a big gap to reach for our best but we are doing well so far."

Liverpool have won six of Slot's first seven matches in charge, and Alisson is keen to carry on being a part of his set-up.

"I am committed to this club 100% and that involves being part of the leadership group," added Alisson, who recently said he turned down a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer.

"We have a lot of young players, new players coming in, a completely new staff. When we changed, not everything was going wrong. The challenge for us was to keep the good things, pass these things to the staff and the players coming in, and embrace the good stuff that the new staff are bringing.

"It was a big challenge for this leadership group and I really believe we are doing quite well. We are sharing the responsibility and telling the young players they need to step up as well. This club is special and the people who work here are special." "

I suspect we may see Trent and Salah depart and Allison and Van Dijk stay for a bit longer, no real reason other than the stomach is telling me so and looking at their quotes so far.

Haven't we a terrible record against bottom of the table teams?

We can go top with a win later 🤞

Cue a 1 all draw now 😁

Jota starts. Peare has tweeted that Nunez is out of the squad with illness today.

City

F**k it !!!! they scored

Thats unbelievably dumb from Trent

Honestly I would just take Trent off after that yellow. I hate when Trent has this air of superiority about him, he is at his worst when he has it imo.

That is idiotic from Trent.

Andre holding Salah back there should've been a yellow too

Trent booked for kicking away the ball but Salah gets dragged back from quickly breaking and just a free.

There was more of a delay booking Trent, than there was to retrieve the ball which was only feet away

Jesus, what's Diaz at there!?

Snoozing.

Trent is annoying me a little.

Ive just realised that's the Andre we were linked with for ages.

Last 10 minutes have been better.

Jota's lost his head a few times vs Wolves

Yeah very very late decision to book him there

Was throwing his arms around when he had the ball and wanted Konate to move into the RB position to receive a pass.

Silly back heel and lost possession when a simple pass was on.

Yeah and kicking the ball away.

Should have scored but that's a good save in fairness.
