@Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield The gaps between players is huge. We didn’t do well in pre-season and were overrun a lot. That’s not on the players totally. Most players are not at their best and are utilised in weird ways so the balance was thrown off. The system could have been the same regardless tho

@AllezChamp @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield We played this system in the pre-season btw, that alone should tell you what Slot wanted from the beginning. Again, our starting players coudn’t win their duels and losing composure and control of the game + injuries prevented this system from being used more.

Arne Slot was asked about Mohamed Salah's positioning this season and if he has been too wide. [@thisisanfield]

@Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield That’s more 22/23 and 23/24 but even those szn had other problems, so teams adapted. It was a lot more basketball fair. It’s just profound now tbh coz slot harps on it at the press all the time

@AllezChamp @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield Compared to the last 2 years, Klopp era faced fewer low blocks. We changed because of injuries, and we often lose control of the game and concede a lot.

@Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield Not really tho, dyche Burnley, Sheffield, even luton all sat back. We faced low blocks last yr too but we were using our attack differently, the changes this szn hasn’t benefited anyone

@AllezChamp @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield You can watch it again if you want, trust me most of them are mid-blocks. The only one using low block is Real Madrid under Ancelotti, we know what happened when we faced them. Right now, most teams use low blocks even the Top 10 teams in the league, very aggressive low block.

@Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield That’s just not true, from 18/19 it was constant low blocks but our approach was diff, here it’s more pep style

@AllezChamp @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield We don't face low blocks as much as right now

@OneSGW @mexicola25 @SamMcGuire90 Then wbu, you generalised his poor end to the szn as a whole, you’re no better

@mexicola25 @AllezChamp @SamMcGuire90 Talking about 23/24 mate when slot wasn’t here Start paying attention to what people are saying!

It’s mad when Salah scores a goal or does something good, the eulogising kicks in. Same can’t be said for all of the team. Salah & Ekitike were wasteful first half and had a 15 minute spell of being great. A level of balance & consistency has to be applied

@OneSGW @mexicola25 @SamMcGuire90 And again, the role is different, you never acknowledge that

@mexicola25 @AllezChamp @SamMcGuire90 All of that and yet it doesn’t affect his ability to pass, his touch, finishing and his pace. Mbappe is mid 20s how can you comment and Salah isn’t in the same convo as Ronaldo. What are you taking about. He’s just not good enough anymore - it’s simple

@lfcdull9 @Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield Again his role is different so how can you compare prev szn to this. It’s more damning when the other forwards are platformed to their best too. Like the same thing happening to mo, happens to Cody and he’s also asked to play really wide do constant 1v1 shifts

@AllezChamp @Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield Yes cos salah wasn’t washed all those years and this season he is

@Think2Twice_ @sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield Not really tho, we’ve been facing low blocks for years under Klopp and even last szn under slot. His own role for Salah was diff compared to now

@sbzcomps @AnfieldSector @thisisanfield You’ve misunderstood the whole thing he said

@malumbzzz @AnfieldSector It’s not abt sometime here tho, in that 1 game against spurs, he chose to put him rw and dom rb. My opinion is it would’ve been better the other way round. Like that set up against gala could’ve been used against spurs

@AllezChamp @AnfieldSector Brother Frimpong as much as I love him, has been extremely injury prone this season. So it makes a lot of sense we've played him RW sometimes and Dom RB

🚨 Arne Slot: “I don't know how many times I say this, please keep asking me - Dominik is a midfielder, should I say this 5 or 6times? The moment I play him right-back, it is not because I am tactical genius, it is the best available player for the position. “If I have full-backs 'available' in good shape, he will play there, Dom in midfield. So every time I make a lineup now there must be a reason Dom is a right full-back. He is a very good midfielder for us. I have other midfielders by the way but if I have the chance, I play him in midfield. “If everyone is available, the team is stronger with him in midfield. If we miss a few, then Dom can play right-back and others in midfield. That is my take. If everyone is fit then the best team is not with Szoboszlai on right-back."

@BenTodd897127 @its_Lox_ @AnfieldSector Frimpong is better running beyond the attacker, he’s not great at 1v1 too, and that system needed to him to be that. I wouldn’t put that down to like for like changes, more so that mo and Hugo came on and upped the pace of the game which made it more basketball

@AllezChamp @its_Lox_ @AnfieldSector Dom doesn't have the pace to beat players down the outside on the right wing like Frimpong does and if you're resting Salah using Frimpong wasn't a bad option at all. In fact it stopped Spence getting forward which changed after he went off

@OneSGW @mexicola25 @SamMcGuire90 How you didn’t acknowledge how much he to performance and his 1st injury in 8 yrs since. Almost like context doesn’t matter w you

@AllezChamp @mexicola25 @SamMcGuire90 He was awful after AFCON and that cost us the league He’s paid mad money to deliver

@OneSGW @mexicola25 @SamMcGuire90 14 goals and 8 assists in his 1st 20 games, come on, its like you’re purposely being unfair

@OneSGW @mexicola25 @SamMcGuire90 How was he poor 23/24 overall tho? Again, disingenuous. He carried our attack all the way till afcon. Then at afcon, he hurt his hamstring. Came back too early against Brentford and aggravated that injury. Then was rushed back for end of season where he was poor, very dishonest

@Simon_Roberts72 @OneSGW @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 This is the thing, a lot of players haven’t been at their best, mo’s the most glaring one. But if everyone is struggling, then it can’t be on them completely

@AllezChamp @OneSGW @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 Exactly its been a joke Hes lumped it all on the players and refused to blame Slot for absolutely anything

Opposition maybe?

@Simon_Roberts72 @OneSGW @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 Literally this, a lot of the players had a great game and a better attacking display purely from playing closer tgt and bouncing off each other. Spurs had rio and frimpong be super wide and doing 1v1 shifts, not even close to the same

@OneSGW @AllezChamp @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 That's questionable after refusing to blame Slot for anything and saying we tried the same distances v Spurs 😂😂😂

@OneSGW @KiteeeLFC Why would you say that tho? You’d rather be proven right than a player performs well and the team do well, where’s the support in that

@KiteeeLFC I bet you he doesn’t.

@OneSGW @Simon_Roberts72 @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 A lot of them don’t, a lot of them write stuff that’s more positive on slot than what fans feel

@AllezChamp @Simon_Roberts72 @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 Journos are paid to write what they think and what they get from press conferences that we all see. That have no insight

@OneSGW @Simon_Roberts72 @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 Oh please, you can’t use that when you’ve been saying he’s been gone on-off for years. It’s clear there’s bias there

@AllezChamp @Simon_Roberts72 @GerardoRiordan8 @CmPooley1972 Because I have eyes mate
