Now this bloke Slot is a bloody smart cookie thats for sure.
Something ol Ange should take big notes on having plan B's or other ways how to contest varying opponents with huge ability.
Soak up the punishment !
It was interesting to see Slot opt against the no-striker system that worked wonders against
Man City and instead the Jota-led attack favoured against
Newcastle.
But the instructions were still similar: hold firm, don’t press too high and, as he said before the match, “suffer and be like we were against City.”
Liverpool were perhaps lucky to avoid conceding before Slot began to turn to his bench, but from there his biggest influence became clear.
Each of Slot’s four changes were deliberate and inspired, not least the bold decision to withdraw a sub-par Salah and send on an efficacious Elliott.
He could not have hoped for more from his substitutes. Outstanding management.
Another thing, I'd luv seeing Endo getting more minutes, he's a complete and very smart DM.
