Great you are one of few football creators who openly care about anything else than football. You may wanna make a video about Per Mertesacker's book and possibly get him to appear on your show. He wrote in his autobiography few years ago about how he almost quit playing altogether because of the pressure and de-pression that the environment caused. Lothar Matthäus went to lengths in order to say that "real men" don't whine like that, but deliver, blah, blah. This is still an opinion that has some attention, especially in the "real men" world of football where women's and queer people's rights are almost as underdeveloped as in Mullah Iran.

[@aliparweaz5046]

It’s funny how people said that Liverpool will collapse after Klopp leaving since it’s ‘impossible’ to hire someone that good after him, meaning the job following Klopp is extremely hard. Now the same people yelling that Slot is doing what is expected from him since he inherited a good team😂😂😂😂

[@truevanpencil5403]

Tbf it’s a harsh comparison for a number of reasons, main one being Klopp wasn’t a coach and Slot is. I am convinced already that Slot is a better coach than Ljinders, and I did rate Ljinders when he worked with Klopp.

[@silvesta5027]

I think people overrate the importance of managers. How a football club is run is MUCH more important. This is why Real Madrid can bring in whichever coach they’d like this past decade and have seen incredible success, where United have tried plenty of managers and have remained stagnant. Liverpool is well run, and so I expected Slot to be successful there. It hasn’t mattered whether it was Ten Hag, Van Gaal, Ole or even Mourinho, United was run horribly under the Glazers. And so naturally they have basically all been failures across the board

[@Bobori8989]

@@silvesta5027this! Especially in england, managers are held so high on the pedestal when team are winning all the credits goes for them, when they lose all the blame are also goes for them, just like unai emery, you cant tell he is worst manager than arteta, but when he is at arsenal people clown him right and left, goes so far making fun of his accent.

If you pause at 12:00 when you're talking about the first goal, you can see Jota directing the attack, asking for an overhead pass behind him towards Diaz, while he keeps the 3 opposition players focused on him

[@VSLFC6]

Go back and watch the City 2-2 at Anfield in 21/22. Mane scores our first goal but Jota makes the perfect run to open up all the space for Mane to slice right into and apply the finish. It’s such an underrated quality that ordinary fans can’t grasp/measure, but if you watch Diogo, he puts on a clinic of being a selfless forward every time he plays. Sensational stuff

[@bfethree4060]

Spot on. Gravenberch even said this in an interview that roles are clear and Slot explains the plan well.

[@Dude0000]

@@bfethree4060 I think Slot had a say in players Klopp got, Gravenbirch being the most obvious. Klopp’s greatest talent and his biggest weakness is his lack of a massive ego. I doubt City, like United, Arsenal and others, will carry on even with the same players, to the same standard. Pep has a bigger ego and won’t think as much about how to help his successor be successful, rather he’ll squeeze out the talent he already has, like Fergie did, though not to the extent Fergie did, which was criminal. It was all about him, Moyles van deal with whatever I leave him, not giving it any thought. How many retired the same season Fergie did? Not just players, too. The CEO went, which caused chaos.

[@yichengyi]

I've been playing or watching football my entire life, and I am utterly stumped. How Slott was able to coordinate a style of play around players' individual abilities so seamlessly is utterly beyond me. Another thing that surprises me is the blatant physicality of each player individually. It was shocking to see MU players getting thrown off the ball so easily. As an LFC fan, I don't want to get too optimistic, but I get this feeling that Slott's got more than a couple of other tricks up his sleeves. I feel that he's got a particular strategy for any given team selection. I'm completely mesmerised and befuddled. Great analysis, BTW!

[@Nicolasin-yn9mu]

I signed up to LFCGO as I do for the free month every year to see the preseason and if you see the training they do a lot now towards body strength and being aggressive, you should take a look if you can find a clip, maybe if you see an Inside Training video on youtube you'll see....our team are going to be imperious....Slot is one hell of a Head Coach....I still want to say manager....

[@GoPoketheBird]

@@Nicolasin-yn9mu Yep, when in america they were doing boxing training I believe, they also were playing some game passing weighted balls back and forth. As an american a lot of these types of training seem very similar to stuff you would do in american football and I'm sure rugby as well. I love the sense of urgency and aggression they seem to have found and of course I love watching the passing they are doing now. Actually couldn't be happier with Slot and how the team has adapted

[@yichengyi]

@Nicolasin-yn9mu I've seen some of the drills/exercises, and I saw them before I saw the last three (six counting the US tour). I sincerely couldn't put thoughts to words for what I thought at the time was pretty weird sh*t. The dark arts of teaching players how to legally manhandle a person off the ball are infinitely strong with Slot. It's too soon to say, but there are too many consistent infidesmal yet almost constant reactions to receiving and attacking the ball in and out of possession to not recognise that it has been rehearsed. The variation in the pace and strategy that Slot uses to dismantle teams is uncanny. That moment where MacAllister throws up his arms in protest to the loss in shape just before Trent's recalled goal when I was completely sold on Slot. All I could think was that the worst thing that could happen when our forward press falls is that we score, we're gonna be gold. TBF, in retrospect, I can understand Klopp and Guardiola's tactics, but I have watched almost 20 analysis videos, and each personality has a different element that they claim is THE ONE reason why we won that match. Slot deliberately trained and explained the philosophy behind the system before the match. That man has very unique coaching abilities.

[@oronsayepaul6709]

Slot used Gravenberch in two ways. To put pressure on United's build up and use him as a cheat code to bypass United's pressing structure. His role would prove pivotal in enabling the foundations for Liverpool's victory.

[@geraldezike5991]

Gravenberch also played deeper in the first two games, but against United, they expected him to be deeper and pinned Zirkzee on him. But then, he had the liberty to move forward while Macca sat deep.

[@youtubeattacker]

Casemiro is an anchor man, not deep lying. That’s Kroos. Casemiro protects Kroos like Gattuso to Pirlo.

[@JabbarTV1]

Well said, Gattuso was never asked to create from the back, just win possession and pass it short away to someone more capable of that

[@johnodande6295]

I'm staggered at the fact that SIX Liverpool players bore down on Casemiro just before Diaz won the ball from him to set off the sequence that led to the second goal. Casemiro must have been scared to see all his passing options closed tight. Damn!

I’m really intrigued to see how this team handles “adversity”. Other than their very first behind closed doors preseason game, they have yet to go behind in a game. Obviously they have the team experienced in coming back from conceding as they did so pretty much all of last season but I’m intrigued to see what slot does in his approach and how they handle it.

[@MadLFC]

You mean will Liverpool freak out and panic if the opposition scores a goal ? I doubt this team or manager have any mental strength issues. They are not trying to break any world records here by not conceding a goal. From what I've seen so far, Slot has got this team into a mode of quiet confidence so I see no reason to believe that conceding a goal will change how they play.

[@kd5973]

@@MadLFCprobably not, given they rarely did freak out under Klopp when conceding first but you never know. We haven’t seen how Slot approaches changing tactics when that happens so I’m intrigued to see how he handles it.

[@somethingwithultra7231]

I think that might be the big thing that kills him this season, although the errors for that won't be as big. Slot even with Feyenoord was REALLY good at coming back most of the time, though. So I do think that he's adapted to it by the time we get one of those matches.

[@thepenguinmafia]

Given that Liverpool haven’t really signed anybody, and were infamous for winning from behind last season, I reckon they’ll be fine

[@benzo9059]

@@somethingwithultra7231 It could, I guess, but why would you think that if you're acknowledging his Feyenoord team weren't affected by going behind, and this group of Liverpool players weren't last season either?

[@marcelrenes2435]

As a Feyenoord fan, you are correct. We miss Slot very much. In your analisys you clearly see how simple football can be, with the right players! We in Rotterdam called it Slot's Fire zone. Just outside of the box. I beleive you call it the Danger zone. Slot isn't affraid to conceid a goal. In every match this can happen, no matter how good you are. His philosophy is to overflow the region just outside the box. And if this fails the team knows to overfow another part of the field. That's why you see a 3 man defence against a 3 man attacking group. And thats why you see the forewards scoring. Some say Salah should be at Liverpool for another 5 years. I disagree. He played fantastic but it was made possible thanks to the rest of the team.

[@zanelekgabo7067]

This channel is class man.

[@al_wombat]

16:05 neither Klopp nor anyone lately has been able to beat Man United at Old Trafford on their first game. I don’t recall the stat perfectly but it’s something like that. Well done to both Slot and the people who appointed him.

[@owen4535]

Last person was Paisley, who won us 3 European Cups and countless league titles.

[@jameschalmers5237]

Jota in the first goal, telling salah to put it behind him was because he knew there was runners was unreal

[@Afterthoughtbtw]

Pressing whilst keeping your wide players wide feels really counterintuitive, because conventional wisdom is always that you narrow the pitch when you haven't got the ball, and make it as wide as possible when you do, but Liverpool's pressing trap to force them centrally by doing so makes perfect sense - the centre of midfield has been a weakness of Man Utd for over a decade now. My suspicion is that Ugarte isn't going to be some kind of miraculous panacea, so it will be interesting to see if other coaches try to target the same spot, given Liverpool's success there. Particularly given that PSG were happy to see Ugarte go because they felt he wasn't good enough on the ball. It feels the same underlying issues will likely remain unless ten Hag changes his tactical approach.

[@stevendchu]

Spot on. Ugarte might lead to a temporary improvement the way Casemiro did when he first arrived, but the systemic issues persist.
