How Slot Is Making Liverpool TITLE Contenders

[@ronaldinhogoat2859]

As a Liverpool fan, I know not to get carried away when facing a team with a near robot AI squad, backed with 9 - 12+ points of refereeing decisions going their way every year.

when i watch wolves vs liverpool then i am confused why wolves super duper easily dribble past and dancing into your midfield area ??? why your CM did not help your DM when come to defense especially transition form attack to defense also look like your DM so tired after doing 2 jobs like transition from attack to defense and from defense to help liverpool attack

[@frankbushuyumutaremwa2470]

The game at ManU is always a hard game. Somehow even when in bad form, they have always found a way to give us a testing game! Last season even when you expected us to win easily in the FA Cup at OT, they won! So winning that game was massive!

[@karelouisspaanhede8712]

Danish Liverpoolfan since 84. I agree with you. No matter the League table, its the game that worries me the most. Maybe a pstd leftover from the 90', but I dont think Im alone.

[@chrisb2614]

United have given Liverpool a hard time recently. Both in the league and domestic cups. The 3-0 win at Old Trafford was significant, you're absolutely right. I don't see Arsenal as a better team. It's basically City vs Arsenal/Liverpool.

[@KeepitontheDeckPodcast]

Old Trafford for Liverpool no matter the form of Man united is still one of our hardest away games. We came to Old Trafford in great form last season while they were not and we couldn't win the game. Old Trafford will always be a hard game.

[@xolisawulana3112]

I agree, Manchester United and Liverpool will always be the toughest fixture for both teams no matter which players are playing on the day.

[@paramedicangel313]

I am a Liverpool fan and have been for 50 years. You are correct either no one mentions Liverpool or people say oh they are definitely not challengers. Like Gary Neville. I prefer people not mentioning us. As you say out of sight out of mind. I only hear people mention Arsenal, City or Chelsea! I can see the difference in our play and I am so proud of the lads, you can see the determination in them. Yes keep ignoring us, and we will see what we see. 😊

[@andersgeorgkindberg4881]

7:05 The one game I always fear as a Liverpool supporter is ManU away. In my view it is the thoughest game of the season. I was expecting a 2-1 loss or a draw at best. To beat them 0-3 in that mannerr took me by suprise.

[@SkywalkerXxX]

All said and done, we will only know how good Liverpool are until we play Chelsea, City, and Arsenal

[@ebrat9290]

Klopp said in a interview not to long ago he wanted liverpool to become the best "in-possession" team in europe aswell as the pressing and all that. feel like Arne has continued on that path

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Klopp made massive inroads in that - Liverpool was 2nd in possession % in the league a couple of years ago. Had Tiago been healthier for longer, Liverpool would have been even better in possessing the ball.

[@luke7962]

Mate when you see the way we press, they know that down to a T. Makes it a lot easier for slot to teach his tactics when we know how to hunt down the ball in packs so well

[@jasperredican4987]

Slot’s system is surprising me. The ability to control and then quickly kill the opponent is something I was personally hoping for. It’s still exciting, but it feels like there’s a script. We possess, we score, and then nothing else happens in the game and we win. The ability to disperse the opponent’s response is something that the best teams do very well

[@967mviews2]

Agree Rory, Utd away has always been incredibly difficult for us regardless of how poor the Utd team have been playing. They typically put in a shift and make life difficult to get a result. Thankfully, they got spanked by the Slot machine. Excellent analysis and love the clip inserts too. 💪 I'm pretty sure you're Chelsea aren't you Rory?

[@toadftm]

I feel the victory away at the San Siro was a great sign as well of Slot's influence over the team. After the early goal we completely dominated them, they could barely get the ball out of their own half for the rest of the first half, and we have a history under Klopp of doing really poorly away in Italy for some reason. If we can turn over Bologna as well I'll be really confident of our chances of getting to the latter stages of the CL.

Did everyone just forget about Liverpool? I'm not sure what has happened over the last couple of season.

[@neiladdison4457]

Liverpool fan here... we're loving the fact the transition between managers has gone smoothly so far but to be real contenders we have to get results against, respectfully, better opposition. The Utd result was huge, coming from behind to comfortably beat AC Milan was decent. We should enjoy where we are but it's a bit early to be getting too excited

Klopp left such a great setup that a new manager would have to be a complete idiot to screw things up. Leadership throughout the team with multiple national team captains, established stars, a strong bench, promising youngsters, a fabulous training center and great academy.

[@gurucartel3422]

We haven't played anyone yet to say we will win the league. 2 goals is misleading because we've given away good chances. But it feels good, the manager is reiterating how much improvement we need to make, and if we can get to January without any serious injuries and we pick up a couple of players to add depth then who knows. City will drop a few more points without Rodri so there's every reason to be positive

Dutchie here: Liverpool have got a huge load of new fans all comming from The Netherlands. It did'nt happen with Van Dijk, Gakpo or Gravenberch. But Slot is something else. He's considered one of the best coaches from The Netherlands in a long time. Here in many parts of The Netherlands Liverpool is closely followed. We want to see and hope he does with Liverpool the same as he did with AZ and Feyenoord. Especcialy Feyenoord. Feyenoord was in the same situation as Liverpool. Not enough money to buy better players. But then Arne Slot came around. He made the Feyenoord players so good, 7 (!) of them were sold to bigger clubs abroad. But this was no problem for him. After losing all these players, Feyenoord became the Dutch champions with players who, with all respect, were not the best in the Dutch competition. We beleive Liverpool can win the PL.

[@TTB960]

Feels silly saying Slot has dethroned other managers after 6 games and you comparing Slot’s start to Arteta’s 4 years when this isn’t Slot’s first managerial role and he inherited a much better squad is kind of a stupid comparison especially with the teams they’ve faced.

100% agree old trafford is toughest away game for Liverpool regardless of how shit this man utd team is they always try and play up a level when they play Liverpool, and although we have anihilated them at anfield its more often than not tough to win at Old trafford. ( albeit we have had some big results there in recent seasons) thats why it was significant that Arne Slot hammered them in his first attempt. Even Klopp struggled to get a win there initially and drew many games until he blew them away but then again lost last season when they were flying. I think even the season when they won the league and were beating everyone they still drew with Man Utd. Salah also took a while to break his duck there (but then has since broke all records in true Mo Salah fashion)😂. Thats why for Arne Slot to go there in his first big game of the season, against a fellow dutch manager, with all the added pressure that and the enormity of the fixture brings, was mightily impressive.
