Liverpool will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Matchday 7 of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Slote said Mamadashvili has adapted well to the team and expects the goalkeeper to play a key role.

In the 6th round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace 1-2 after falling behind thanks to Chiesa's goal. Liverpool currently ranks first in the standings with 15 points.

In addition, Liverpool lost to Galatasaray 0-1 after Osimhen scored a penalty in the second round of the Champions League. It is worth noting that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson suffered an injury in the match against Galatasaray and will be out for a while, so another goalkeeper, Mamadashvili, will have to take on an important role.

Liverpool manager Slaughter said at a press conference, "I think we have seen how well Mamadashvili has adapted in the game against Southampton. We have long known that the team has signed a very good goalkeeper, but the real test will always wait until he participates in the first game."

"He showed in that game that he has settled in really well, which is not surprising because he is a really high-level goalkeeper. Now he can take on Alisson's position, just as Kelleher has done so many times in the past, and hopefully he can do the same job as Kelleher did."

Talking about Liverpool's reaction after defeats in various competitions, Slot said: "If you lose another game after losing to Crystal Palace, you can talk about whether this reaction is positive. But what I saw was a team that was fighting for a good result from the first second to the last moment.

"Compared to Crystal Palace, we won more possession and were just as close to a result. I've said many times that the margins of victory and defeat in last season's matches were very narrow, and it's the same this season. We have to find a way so that the results don't depend on luck or the chance of set pieces."

Sloter emphasized, "We have to be better than before. For example, Ekitik was pulled on the shoulder two or three times when facing the goalkeeper, but he still tried to stay standing, just like our players mainly do. And a minute later, in our penalty area, the opponent player fell down with a slight touch, as if he was hit hard, but the referee whistled for a penalty kick. These things will happen, but we have to be stronger than this. Whether it is lucky or unlucky, whether it is smart or not, or getting a set piece, or conceding two goals like against Crystal Palace, it should not affect the final result."

As for some players taking on different roles on the court, Sloter said, "I don't think the players are dissatisfied at the moment because Connor Bradley was injured in the preseason and entered the new season with an injury. Frimpong was also absent for a period of time. If players are injured and complain about not playing, that would be new to me."

"These players have returned, but like Isaac, we don't think a player can immediately play three games in a week after being out for three or four weeks because the physical condition is not ready. That's why we had to use Soboslai in the defense. He performed very well, except for the situation that led to the penalty, but that was just a moment in his many appearances."
