Liverpool boss Arne Slot calls for English football to make major change to help academy prospects

Arne Slot has doubled down on his calls for English football to help itself by allowing teams to name 23 players in matchday squads.

The Liverpool manager is not quite Jurgen Klopp in terms of his outcries about fixture congestion and a crowded calendar – but Slot believes English clubs should be allowed 12 substitutes.

This, Slot thinks, will allow talented youngsters to have more chances of getting minutes in first teams. When Liverpool were 4-0 up against Tottenham on Thursday night, for example, Slot could have given experience to the teenagers who have impressed him in training.
