Slot-ball

Lolz, love Slot. It also shows how highely strung these refs are when they react to this.

Arne Slot on Arsenal: “They always fell down when they had ball possession. I said to Ibou: 'This is a ****ing joke', but the fourth official thought I was talking to him. I got a yellow for that!” (Sky Sports)

This was not always a quality performance from us, but this was a top-quality move. Trent’s pass is the only one with a high degree of difficulty. Kudos to Konate for turning defence into attack.

This was probably the only time we went down the channels. We kept trying the cross field to the opposite flank time and time again and failed with pretty much every single one.

That's slightly off. He something more like:
I said to Ibou: 'This is a fucking joke', but the fourth official thought I said "You're a fucking joke"

It made it better that he dropped two f-bombs imo.

I thought Darwin's pass was quite good as well. Opted to put it behind the path of the defender running back towards his goal instead of feathering in front of the path for Mo to run into.
 
Every manager has his own ways and things ABSENT WHICH things can disintegrate for him. Klopp was offensive. No two ways about that.

ps And the grass is always greener unless you actually know what you have and are doing.

pps BUT HEY, the video below can be a metaphor for Slot too. Like he is extremely defensive absent knowing what Ferrari and what dealing with a squad build and created upon Ferrari logic (i.e. Klopp) is all about. So the blind gentleman tries to help him out. lol.

To succeed at Liverpool one must WIN the Premier League. And to do that one must Win and keep on Winning.

ps Confidence is a great thing. Don't you think? But yeah, it does require controls. Knowledge and experience helps a whole lot with both confidence and its controls.
 
It's impressive for sure, much better than anyone could've imagined and long may it continue......however I wasn't expecting us to be this boring to watch, the drop off in excitement is night and day.

xG and chance creation we're down by about 15%
Possession wise we're down by about 6-7%.
Intensity and speed of our play I don't know exact figure but for sure it's way down.

With the formation, tactics and style, I'd say there are more differences than similarities between Gegen heavy metal ball and Slot ball.
 
My wife went to see a fortune teller, and came home and said she had been told that in twelve years something terrible would happen, she'd experience a period of loss and pain, but she'd get through it. I don't believe in any of that shit but I thought I'd try and cheer her up and bought her a puppy.

2023/4 : GF 2.26 vs GA 1.08
2024/5 : GF 1.89 vs GA 0.56

For a slight decrease in GF we've virtually halved our GA

We’re more focused on our defensive shape and stopping teams from getting at us over wanting to go for the kill which is fine so long as the results are there, defence first and attack second. With Klopp and Rodgers it was very much the opposite.
 
That approach might change once Slot gets the chance to bring in players that he likes. He might not be happy that we are getting so few goals from midfield, and maybe that Szobo role is one he invests to bring in a baller

So you're complaining the results aren't there?!

Yes. Slot has said that we will evolve as the team implements his methods and that we're not at the required level yet. Better players and more experience of his systems will obviously make a difference.

However our defence was a clear issue and weakness last season and the obvious place to start. He's done a remarkable job on that facet of our game.

We've only played 14 games but some people love to whine and whinge 😉

There were comments on here during our march to our first title in 30 years that winning was getting too easy and stale. It's safe to say we'll always find something to bitch about.
