Fair enoughIts the 1st time in years Utd have been ahead of Liverpool. Give me some leeway for at least one weekend.
If i start posting 40 times a day, for the next few years, get back to me

Agree it’s why I can’t belive he changed the team so much from midweek when we played quite well.
Putting the players who are out of form back in was asking for trouble.

Slot has suprized me with his comment about teams playing long balls and long throws as if it’s a shock .
Tactics are there to play on your weaknesses!
But Brentford outfought us and deserved to win.

Just watched highlights on MOTD. Can't believe how many times Liverpool were muscled off the ball.
Thought the penalty was harsh but Gakpo's audition for an Oscar was rightfully deemed not good enough

Highlights are just that.
The rest was even worse.!
That's plain embarrassing when managers come out with that type of comment. Fancy teams not playing to your strengths?
Brentford outplayed Liverpool, hold your hands up and say well done. By highlighting this, he has just given a free pass to other teams as to where to hit them

Think they have already worked that out.

I know I have said this before, but when City were scoring 3,4,5,6 goals a game. The return fixtures or following season teams Packed the defence and played long balls and hit on the break. Liverpool are finding out that teams are doing exactly the same.
It’s something that Liverpool somehow have to overcome.
Unfortunately when Liverpool were at there peak, so were players like TAA and Robertson. They were perfect in that system. Them players are now past there best or gone, Salah and VVD FIT into that group of players. This season could be a season of new players getting used the prem league and physicality. And getting rid of some legends.

Said it before but what is the difference between a long throw into the box and a corner kick into the box? Do one and you are a rubbish team with no skill but do the other you are a set piece genius. Snobbery at it’s best

He's an odd one for me. Was the standout left back in the league last season. Played attacking overlapping wing back stuff, much like Frimpong or the sort of 18-20 versions of Robertson and TAA. However he's being asked to do the "tuck in, 3rd centre back, come inside" thing as is for some reason en-vogue atm and he just isn't capable. I'm not sure why we bought him to do that role.
much like a lot of the new signings, we're not playing to their strengths. but at the same time we've ripped up what won the league last season, in tactics even disregarding personnel.

Having seen City play a certain way for a good period of time, Citys tactics got nullified. That was one of the reasons City got lambasted for the tikka takka style of play. They just could not break down teams that had packed defences.
So I kinda understand why tactics have changed slightly, that said, the title has never been won or lost in October.

while agree Tashy, there's tweaking the system to suit one or two changes and then there's whatever Slot has done this year...
we are what 15(?) games into the season and I have absolutely no idea what Slot's plan or tactics are. The transfers suggested high and wide full backs, 2 up top (ekitike or isak & salah) and Wirtz in behind a false9. the players have idea and no identity - christ the last 2 games we've spent the last 5 mins with a centre back up top... that's not the mark of a team with a (solid or sensible!) plan.
Don't get me wrong, individually the players haven't been good enough. But currently Slot is helping them look bad and moaning about a team known for playing long balls and long throws doing what they're known for. it's bizarre.

Unless the centre back is The Snipers' Dream, aka Slabhead, aka the great Harry Maguire!

Liverpool had the problem of being champions long before city had it.
It’s a thing we have dealt with lots of times in the past.
We’re just having a bad spell, but some of Slots decisions are baffling to me.
Most Liverpool fans know this.
One bad season won’t harm the club in transitioning to a new team.
Lots of the season left still but Wolves are joining West Ham in the category marked 'nervous already '. If Burnley are beating you 2-0 at home, it's not great. They need a big second half.

It’s almost like both those teams saw how bad Southampton were last year and have soda here hold my beer. They’re both terrible and create nothing.

Palace can consider themselves very unlucky to be behind. Completely nullified the Arsenal attack.
