All Aboard the Slot Express

Another is condense their players and the play one side, go one back to immediately switch to the player in space on the other

All your players again have the run on the defenders coming into any ball out it from that side

Really really basic stuff we haven’t been doing

[Nineteenx]

Again how many time was Frimpong in acres v Burnley and we didn’t give him it or did so in 4 passes instead of one switch by which time he was faced up by two

[JockStrap]

But if it's really basic stuff maybe the opposition know about it too. And therefore they know how to defend against it. So we need to try something else?

[Nineteenx]

These things always work

We’ve been making it hard by trying to g to okay everything through Wirtz and putting too many players in their box

Szobo was the man opening Narseille up tonight we’ve had him stood in the box v low blocks 🤦

[JockStrap]

It's pretty pointless him playing 40 yards out against low blocks. You're not going to open them up from there.

[Nineteenx]

Then you thry have to come out you leave 1 up go man for man press abs counter pressing. Positions

Right, enough of the negativity doing the rounds. If you want to moan, there are plenty of other threads for that. This is a positive space for those of us who actually want to support the manager.

That was the original intent of the thread. Based on that Marseille performance I'm really excited to see where this team goes. Kerkez, Wirtz, Ekitike and Frimpong have all settled now and every one of them looks the real deal. The other players raised their game to that level too and it shows that when they all play to a high standard we still have an awesome team.

What do we think now folks? Still too early for some or are you ready to jump aboard the Slot Express?

It didn’t need changing

Their levels were higher as we played normally with the team being the star not trying to play everything through Wirtz and with a better balance of inters picking up and those looking to be in space

I hope Slit can learn from this as we’ve had a few games like this, after which he’s bizarrely reverted to what hasn’t worked so fingers crossed

Last night proved that Slot is a top class manager. Seems pretty classy as a person too. Certainly comes across that way in all his interviews. I'm glad he's at LFC.

Let's hope for a deep run in the CL and a few more good wins in the PL to give fans a lift for the rest of the season.

I really want slot to succeed , we haven’t been playing well but I hope it comes back full circle , although I wish he would shut up about the low block , it’s all he goes on about and gives the media cannon fodder

Shat on De zebri last night, that's for sure.

Same. I don't like him going on about the low block either.

[Nineteenx]

I’m pleased he changed tactics and used Jurgen’s box midfield and that isn’t a dig at him it shows flexibility and adaptability

I only knew about the box midfield because Jurgen used it sone games mostly against the Manc as Shaw would own Mo

Bobby would drop and either LCM or RCM would slot in 😂 alongside him as another 10

[Nineteenx]

Same. I don't like him going on about the low block either.

He’s over thinking it, less is more

[JockStrap]

Carra saying after the Marseille match that Slot deserves a lot more respect from the fans. Couldn't agree more.
