In Milan, Slot corrected his and his teams biggest mistake in the Forest loss | The Deep Dive

[@buttonman6262]

The main issue against Forest seemed to me to be tiredness. Had everyone not looked like they were running in treacle I don’t think we’d of had an issue.

[@Klaaarke]

Milan were wide open! A totally different prospect to Forest.

[@VR46314]

The lesson we learnt is we are good vs teams who give us space

[@undergradtutors9662]

@@VR46314 I think we learnt switching the play to the winger when a team gets compact centrally works well especially to Gakpo who is tall and can win the ball, but all the other things the guys in this vid have talked about are smaller details

[@VR46314]

I don’t think we have learnt any lessons from forest when we beat a low block that did the same things that’s when the lesson is proven to be learnt

[@Buenossss]

Lol forest is just a typical game after a international brake where a lot of players played 2 full games. They didn’t look energetic at all, because they weren’t.

Forest was just the result of the international brake where a lot of players played 2 games. More then any other team.

[@davidharrison6083]

The players just played better. Passing and movement was spot on. Simple as that.

[@junioradult6219]

True. The players just played like crap vs forest.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Embarrassing first goal then we slowly got our act together. By the time we were 3-1 up we were fine and dandy !

[@undergradtutors9662]

your adjectives going from "embarassing" to "dandy" BRAH! the first goal was because gakpo went to press high when he didn't need to but was trying to follow coach instructions, then tsimikas went high and then van dijk went high (alan shearer analysed this aha) but van dijk shouldn't have gone forward when tsimikas did but should have held the back line. however the goal can be explained by Arne Slot's instructions trying to be followed but not done right on this occasion

[@muhammadnabil587]

We failed our first low block test with forest, but i believe we will get better against low block team.. the obvious issue was the whole team couldn't pass n receive the ball properly in that game.. if we can fix that against any upcoming low block teams, i believe we can win those games..

[@sandisongwenya4667]

I just think the players were tired mentally and physically, because the errors were decision making. Right decisions at wrong times and fully wrong decisions at times

[@johnconnick5308]

Against Forest it was straight after an international break and we always seem to suffer after a international break my question to Josh is how many Liverpool players were on international duty? You look at the South American players only arrived back in Liverpool in the very early hours of Thursday morning and the question is, are Liverpool having to many players from the first team go on to international duty? We have to be in the top 3 clubs in the Premier League that in my opinion have the most players go to represent their countries and they are all travelling all around the world and even under Klopp same thing was happening and sometimes we had 12.30pm kick off times straight after the international break and do you think Josh that these international friendlies should be stopped, because we are playing to many games along with other top clubs in the same position especially the top 3 clubs and for me I feel for the players and now we have 2 Champion’s League in the January transfer market which is just truly bonkers, I just want to know your thoughts on this?

Any chance the deep dive streams get uploaded via podcast like the other videos pls lads?

[@theredmentv]

We only put them out as podcasts when we don't use the board a lot. They'd be really tough to follow as a podcast I think 🤔

[@Jerrard232]

As much as coming back from Milan was amazing it’s a completely different situation when you concede in the 75th min… we still knew we had the whole game in front of us when we conceded early against Milan

[@petem9392]

The big difference between conceding the goals was the time. Huge difference between 70 odd minutes and 3 minutes.

[@rv9785]

the new Liverpool is wide open actually!! This is the mentality of Dutch coaches!! Most goals are repeated in the Netherlands.

[@undergradtutors9662]

Why don't we bring Salah to play more centrally if we are playing 325 against a low block? Having Bradley as a right winger and even chiesa in the future so you could have Szoboszlai and Salah behind the front 3 or even better Mac and Salah. Salah is goood against low blocks he's very skilfull

[@ragerider6283]

Interesting vid as ever but let's be clear, it's not really related. It was a good win against Milan away but they were poor & open so this has told us nothing about how Slot will approach the next low block team.

[@leeguy8159]

I think the difference between forest and last night's game was when we went a goal down yesterday we had more time to play our way.

[@junioradult6219]

That and 80% of the team werent playing like total crap

[@sandisongwenya4667]

Players had more time to rest and play together in training again. Forest we made bad decisions in the game and kept making the bad decisions and I think that was due to rustiness and tiredness. Another mistake was we kept going through Salah and he was having a bad bad game, then he stayed on too.

[@magicbuddha7243]

Disagreed. Watch Slot's explanation this year during a Dutch football show called Rondo, probably in March. There he educates how to deal with teams that play like Forest. The main difference is that the players recovered physically. Slot has emphasized after the game against ManUnited that the real test would come after the international break as it was only game 3. Remember that Slot has a certain football philosophy, but he is foremost a tactician. Don't ever underestimate that the very defensive tactics applied by a good squad is a very strong lock to break. This is why Inter Milan succeeded in stopping ManCity from scoring yesterday.

[@MRSNYPA786]

Milan played right into our hands with being wide open. Personally, I think Slot is going to struggle with low block opponents. When we play the likes of Palace, Everton, Leicester. That's when we'll know whether we've learnt lessons, because those teams will almost definitely be copying Forests gameplan. I think this team is crying out for a Coutinho esque type player. We don't have an attacking mid who can take on a few players and play a defence splitting pass. Man City have 3 in De Bruyne, Foden and Silva, Arsenal have Odegard, we don't have one, and Slots slow build up play against the low block is crying out for that type of attacking mid

[@graz4792]

We had one Carvalho and sold him

[@LFC2005StevieG]

We beat Ipswich slot is an incredible tactical coach he will have an answer for everything the forest game was simply wasteful.
