Match Thread Liverpool V Man City

[RedMagic]

He's carried himself more professionally than VVD, Salah & MacA.

Each of these got 9/10s from me in ratings for last season. The highest scores i gave out 9/10.
This year, I'd find it hard to argue any of these 3 are fairing better than Slot.

As said, if Slots sacked it will have shades of Alonso at Real, player power.

Professionalism ≠ Ability

Each player is responsible for their own performances and professionalism. Slot is responsible for how he uses those players and how he deals with their lack of professionalism.

I watched the game

You’re being overly generous to City and miserly to us

Alisson had 3 saves Haaland and Semenyo’s effort first half which was akin to Szobo’s shot from outside the box

Macca drew a worldly from Donnakebab Wirtz was blocked Ektike missed two big chances

Not much between the two teams

[Nineteenx]

All of them are way off last seasons form to a man.

Salah speaking to the press, tried to get Slot sacked.

MacA speaking to the press, tried to get Slot sacked.

VVD 1st half v PSV looked like he was trying to get Slot sacked.

These I'd suggest are fair conclusions ^^^

Konate tbf just has the brainfarts & contract up and likely off to Real/PSG.

Whatever we want to say about the summer window,
where reasonably a CB, 6 & Wide-Forward would have filled out the squad,
The players on the pitch have to take responsibility for their performances on the pitch.

We are 2 points above Everton.

39 points after 25 games. Embarrassing.

As said, if Slots sacked it certainly looks similar to Alonso at Real, player power.

De Zerbi’s a better choice than 3 at the back

[Nineteenx]

I know De Zerbi’s also likes 3 but can play 4 and a press and used the switches and diagonals a plenty at Brighton

I’m not being overly generous really - I am simply using Optaz Also we don’t have a shot on goal until 54 minutes. At home..?

Honestly it’s nothing personal at all I have no want to be kind to City. Just going by their definition of ‘Big chances’ - which are determined by XG

[Nineteenx]

I’m not - I am simply using Opta

Yeah it’s never been the best I’ve watched our game twice or three time many a time when they were so entertaining with Jurgen and what they defined as a big chance varied depending who the team was

[teesred]

This.

We were not a threat to them in open play.

Everyone's going to forget that little bit of factoid under the cloud of that chaotic finish.

The biggest annoyance for me is that yet again we took the lead and sat off allowing them to play. As soon as they equalised there was only one team with the desire to go on and win that game.
That is an ongoing theme with this season and it 100% is on Slot. We are weak mentally and buckle under pressure especially when having something to protect.

Fuck knows how often Gravenberch has an opportunity for a shot at goal and side passes it.

The whole season is a mess of disjointed trans and indifferent performances. The first half was another sleepy start. How often?
There are too many faults with this side and our performance for it to be mostly on the players.

Watching MOTD Slot in focus a lot looking very anxious

Virgil said the exact opposite in his post match interview. He said that both teams were going for the win. Which I agree with.

You’re quite right it is on Slot it’s only become a regular thing under him
