I didn’t see much of the game, actually turned it on just as the replays of their goal were being shown, so difficult to comment on what exactly went wrong. But by the sounds of it the players were rushing their passes and thus not connecting with them and it was all a bit uncontrolled and not what Slot is trying to do. Not surprising as he didnt have the week to work with the players as most were away and they probably reverted back to what is their more natural game, the higher tempo Klopp played at.
The previous games he had no disruptions and they continued from a sucessful preseason. I know all managers are affected by the international break to some degree, but it disrupts those trying to enforce a new style far more than those teams whose style is already ingrained. Hopefully this is just a one off being so early as coach of Liverpool.
Nil, couple of things. The Utd game was no where near a defeat, what you talking about? And why not replacing a player who barely ever played for us, spent last season on loan and had a reputation as a poor trainer leave disapointment? Makes zero sense. The club did well getting what they got for him.
