one of the worst 1st half we have ever had.

I really dont like the way Slot single out a player for our loss, dont think klopp ever made that kind of statement during post match presser

clowns la...SAF come back also will still end up 15th...

let's just put this out there...
Slot won with Klopp's team...
and if Slot is gonna win again with his own team...he should be given the same time needed too...
all this pressure to defend a so called title is just unneeded...

Bodo Salah... time to sit on the bench.. wasted

It's good to pressure slot now. Those needs bench pls bench. Klopp normally do that.

Actually, the issue is tactical. Watch last season's post-match interview when Liverpool beat Manchester United (the one with Roy Keane). Arne Slot hinted he likes to play out the back. But obviously Klopp's team doesn't do that, hence Slot didn't push for a change. But different this season...

He wants to play out the back, which is possession based. Hence why the CB's (Van Djik and Konate) is seen carrying the ball into midfield. However, when the CB's move forward, you can see the right/left backs are not sure whether to cover (lack of width) or join the attack (exposed defense).

So when teams low block there is no width in the attack because the play out the back usually comes from the CB, through the center. No width, difficult to break low block. Then when opposition teams employ counter press and quick transitions, they only need to win the ball, quick transition, direct plays to exploit the gaps in defense.

Last season, Guardiola faced the same problems as Liverpool this season as teams low-block, counter press and quick transition against Man City's possession system.

This season, Guardiola admitted, his possession-based system no longer works in today's game, hence why he is moving to the counter press, direct, transition style similar to Klopp - hiring Pep Lijnders.

So, either Slot makes his possession system work or discover like Guardiola, the modern game is counter press, quick transition.

this reminds me of...stewart downing...
in one of his seasons he created the most chances of all players... just obviously not many got converted else he would've had a shitload of assists...
