That Conor Bradley tackle was like Milner smashing Neymar on the sideline. Absolute cruncher and he turned up on the inverted runs as well. Also, the league phase has been vastly more enjoyable than the old group stages.

[@miken56]

Slots tactics was desperately needed. Playing 90 minutes of Klopp ball at such a high intensity to press and suffocate teams was hard going on and left us vulnerable if one person didn’t quite press at the right time, leaving us open. Slots pragmatism to maintain the press and suffocate teams but to also allow Liverpool time to recover with the ball when needed (and thus still keep the opposition team expending energy) means that we’re breaking teams down in two ways now and you start to see the players losing motivation and growing frustrated

[@Mid98Librarian]

as good as klopp’s style was on those big occasions, sadly doesn’t work when we play 60-65 games a season

[@eduardoleon9693]

Slot has also come in and rotated the starting 11 more than Klopp. I feel that TAA would have started the game if Klopp was in charge.

[@HowardND9]

@@Mid98LibrarianKlopp had 3 or 4 of the greatest teams of the 21st century. They won every trophy and were on for the quad until late spring more than once. I don’t really understand the narrative that his tactics didn’t work across a whole season. If Virgil, Thiago, and others weren’t assassinated during 2020/21 then that season would’ve been electric as well.

[@donlawrence1047]

I was watching here in the states and me and my roommate (I wore him down into being a rabid LFC supporter like me) were marveling at how electric the atmosphere at Anfield seemed on tv. And how jealous we were at everyone who was at the stadium.

I really think against most other keepers, Darwin would’ve had a goal or two. Can’t fault him for being kept out by Courtois on a couple decent chances.

[@misterjones11]

Just subscribed having listened to you on the Goldbridge chat. Interesting what you said about Slot's 1st v 2nd half changes, and that he was the same at Feyenoord. He's definitely more of "A Thinking Man's" coach than Klopp, who sometimes seemed to have trouble changing tactics when we needed him to ! What happens when teams work out a way to make Slot's half time tweaks completely redundant by changing their own system at half time ?

[@TheRaptorXX]

"But they did have a few injuries and they did have a few people who were off it"??? Come on Mr Mc, it's a football game, we BEAT them, WE have injuries and NONE of our players were 'off it' because we had a game to win and that's their JOB.

[@Infiniteusagi]

Great vid as always Loz, so happy to finally get one over on Madrid. Definitely agree Salah seems to get in his own head when playing them. I am kinda shocked though that you’re suggesting to cash in on Nunez-I don’t think he’s had a bad game this season. He’s adapted his game well in this system and was able to play some tricky balls that helped keep the pace when we were breaking against them. Don’t think either of his chances yesterday were really easy at all, and think he gets a tap in if Diaz squares it to him instead of going for a header. Be interested to hear your analysis between him and a Jota or Firmino type player in this system. Cheers!

[@nishanmagar7768]

“Cautious optimistic” is well said. We played really well but this is not what real madrid team is. Hope we can keep the momentum. Big Fan of yours youtube videos. Keep posting. YNWA

[@WamaiR6]

Really proud with that performance. Great to finally watch us beat Madrid for the first time in my 21 years of life. Really worried about Robbo now. Its not just the penalties against Madrid or Southampton. He's just been looking sloppy, giving the ball away in defence, running into trouble etc. (Glad he got an assist or I reckon twitter would have been far harsher)

[@migez1]

Am I the only one that wasn’t ecstatic about smashing Madrid? I think because it happened so early on in the season, it didn’t feel as special as the Knockout Stages.

Interesting takes. Can’t say I agree with them. I think the atmosphere experienced in the stadium depends a lot where you’re sitting. The general consensus is that it was very good. With regards to Curtis, I think that’s his best performance this season.

Atmosphere was brilliant last night but your right it wasn't electric from minute one took it take abit of time, the Connor Bradley tackle was celebrated like a goal on the kop. Ref was awful The first half everything went Madrid's way second started to even out both pens where the correct decision, top stuff Loz keep it up 👍

[@LaurenceMcKennaonLFC]

You’re right! Summed up the flow of the game perfectly!

[@RodrigoJovino9]

I think the other penalty against Southampton was a bit of being caught in a bad place. Still a bad tackle, but a bad situation where It's more normal for a misplaced tackle. But yesterday, that was some level of really bad defending that challenge. Alberto Moreno esque type of mistake.

I think we should buy a striker if Salah leaves ngl. I want to keep Darwin and Jota but we could do with someone who can finish whilst also not getting injured twice a month. Imo we already have class wingers and the only way we can replicate Salah's output is an elite goalscorer.

@ I wish😭😭 I honestly had food poisoning from the day before and was mainly relaxing in the lounge until the game in efforts to not get more sick😂 nonetheless, it was an amazing and special time and I can’t imagine the atmosphere come Sunday against Man City after this result!

[@VegaPhil]

I don’t really subscribe to the idea that “a few of their players were off it” being a caveat as a lot of that was probably down to them being rattled by the fact they were being outplayed. They looked worse because our players looked so good. Surprised you said the atmosphere wasn’t rocking as it sounded amazing at home. It’s usually the other way around because when I’ve been there for your average league game it sounds great when you’re in amongst it but doesn’t always translate to TV but it definitely did for that game

[@bayernjames9546]

Liverpool fan here. Madrid were without: 1. Militao 2. Alaba 3. Vinicious 4. Rodrygo 5. Carvajal Most of these are starters who would have started against us if they were fit, and the formation of Real Madrid would have been different. But in our defence, we were without: 1. TAA 2. Allison 3. Jota 4. Chiesa 5. Tsimikas. 2 starters and 3 backups. We all know Jota is a super-sub, and Tsimikas would have replaced Robbo.

[@JHaydon67]

Under Slot, Jota is definitely NOT a super-sub, he's the No.1 striker who started every EPL game he was available for at the beginning of the season.

[@ihavethehighground732]

Reposted as some words have gotten it deleted or you deleted it. Someone said you were being disrespectful towards me, to which I originally thought you were joking, but I asked you to clarify and you didn't reply, and there’s no way you didn’t see it. That’s not a man made attitude. As they say, silence speaks a thousand words. My points are valid and I most certainly don't need your validity. My comments are for the public, for viewers who are also enthusiastic about Liverpool and my opinions are owned and respected by myself; I don’t need a nobody to tell me what is and what isn't valid. I enjoyed the public interaction on this channel, which is why I comment in the first place, to which anyone can reply and agree or disagree, but understanding both sides and their views as it gains perspective or I get to educate, not go in on someone personally, try that in person to anyone see how long you last. FSG overall are very cheap, we’ve seen this time and time again, they have an autocratic system and it's extremely annoying; there’s no plan or ploy to adapt to Liverpool's current position; not even a 3rd party investment. There's nothing “FIFA-esque” about it. The truth is go and understand business and management before another illiterate comment with no substance; you and whoever that was are coming as people who lick FSG. Go and do your research on their net spend etc and the background of the company then tell me they couldn’t afford high-value players. For example, someone said Nico is 120 million, but he's gone silent since the Euros. This summer he’ll be a £100-90 million, funny how that reminds me of Caicedo pricing; focusing on the pricing aspect only you don't think Liverpool could afford that type of player, which speaks volumes. Someone even made a cocky comment, but like I said you're someone who licks FSG. But that’s not the point and it’s not about that player specifically, it’s just in response to the pricing comment. It's specifically about all the players they can get and how FSG avoid heavy transfer activity. People say, oh Nunez, again, research net spend. They didn’t even attempt Bellingham and that was 100% doable. Again, stupidity time and time again from your side; very ignorant. You also forget the club value is billions, but excuse the transfer behaviour. I won’t stoop down to your level and throw shots and dismantle you; I will just simply stop clicking on your videos to comment, which is what I do 90% of the time instead of watching. Goodbye.

[@LaurenceMcKennaonLFC]

I found this comment bizarre. The reasoning is quite circular and it doesn’t really interact with me, it just sort of lectures me from your perspective. You call me an FSG licker and I have consistently spoken about not feeling that way so what’s the deal? Sorry if I upset you and yes I’d say these things to your face. I’m sure I’d be just fine and you’d do nothing but by all means test that out.

Kelleher probably didnt want to wait until Alisson left the club anyways, he understandably wants to be a starter

All the usual reasons. Future planning. Alisson contract wrangling and getting injuries. Kelleher unlikely to wait around for Alisson to go. It was a good deal, for presumably a player that fits the profile required. A bit like Chelsea having Courtois out on loan when they had Cech. Strengthening, from a position of strength. Rather than panic when you need a replacement.

Actually feel for Robertson. 2 pens in a week and neither should've been given

[@darthbauer5153]

The one against Real was admittedly soft but I don’t think we should argue it wasn’t a pen. Robbo turned his back and did make contact so I’m not too upset about that one. The one against Southampton was a sham for sure though. Just glad Kelleher has been there to back him up. With slightly more luck Kelleher would have bailed him out both times. Great game from the boys

At least it wasn't a half-n-half scarf. As I may have said before, look at what Darwin does for us.

That's not a coincidence. Oh, and fun stat - Madrid had six shots all game, one on target. And that was in the 70th minute. Yes, Darwin had gone off by then....
