Match Thread Marseille V Liverpool

I think it does too

and better they try and hold those positions on the edge of the box as those CBs like to have someone to mark or at least feel they are in touching distance and it means either or Wirtz or Dom and make runs through the channels onto any ball put in

Best to keep them edge if their own area to give yourselves some room to work with rather than push them right in it in my opinion as that’s how all the blocks including in the line happen instead of goals

Highlights of the game for anyone who missed it:

Good post

yeah I know we didn't get the win against burnley but that was freaky, we dominated and we had plenty of shots on target, not sure what Slot could've done in all honestly

The signs have been there, we are improving, we are clicking and we're fast improving, bit more faster than Aquallini thread back in the day.

Things are on the up, and it's a good job because we've got a tough run coming up.

Yep we've been playing much better of late. Bournemouth will be another test. Probably another low block which we have struggled with but if we play like we did against Burnley we'll be ok.

Slobo standing with his arms raised before Gakpo even took the shot

Never noticed that in real time.

How Slot changed Liverpool's shape to pull off Marseille win

Average breakdown. Doesn't mention rotation through the 10s or how Slot has broken the golden rules

It does show why Frimpong and Kerkez were so good though. They are responsible for providing the width when going forward and shutting down the wide attackers when defending. Very imprressive from both. And very impressive from Slot.

Systems don't matter so much against low blocks. What's the use of a box midfield when 10 men are on the edge of their own box.

Haha. That's confidence.

It was a superb bit of play by the Hungarian. Wrong footed their entire back line.

Last time I checked Bournemouth aren't the ones for the 'low block' So I am hoping for something similar to Marseille
