Salt Bailly
Auburn, not Ginger.
Reminds me of the Hitchcock silhouette every time I see him. Wanker.
This.Kelleher looks like a better passer than even Allison, so that was surprising to me too. Liverpool baited us into pushing up high quite a few times then just dinked the ball over the midfield to set your forwards up with easy 1v1s against our backline. Slot is an impressive manager.
Slot is obviously a lot more about control than Ten Hag is. But then again Liverpools squad are way more suited to the style Ten Hag seems to want then the United squad are. But I think the easy answer is that Liverpool just has better players.Can’t help but be quietly pissed of how seamlessly this fella has come in after Klopp yet they look better than ever. They have a core of around 16 established top class players that don’t miss many games.
Hypothetically, do we think if Ten Hag had taken the LFC job, he’d be doing the same as Slot has started or is Slot a superior operator?
They were poor tonight, and in a lot of ways lucky to win.

He was actually far more attacking eventually at AZ and Feyenoord. I think he's mostly more flexible in his approach. He looks at his players and adepts accordingly.Slot is obviously a lot more about control than Ten Hag is.

And also Slot haven't been able to show if he is poor in the market or not yet
As the replay above me it really seems that Slot decided to go with the Klopp team and approach just making it a little but more defensive and safe. I expected something different from him but he is adapting according to the players. The real Slot team we will see after few transfer windows..He was actually far more attacking eventually at AZ and Feyenoord. I think he's mostly more flexible in his approach. He looks at his players and adepts accordingly.
I'm Amadeus now.
Klopp wanted Brandt over Salah. Edwards has been immense for Liverpool.I never really bought in to the Klopp hype, it was always more about how good their player recruitment was.
If they keep their good fortune with injuries as they've had so far they'll be right in the mix for the major trophies this year.

Nothing? Not a single thing.Nothing about them looks impressive.
Third theory, Slot is turning into a great manager already and is wiping up the competition.The best Dutch coach around.First theory, It's klopps team, which he has made a bit more defensive. It suits the team playing this way. They will be found out in the next couple of months.
Second theory, was Klopp all that? He just got lucky with having some world class players.
Nothing? Not a single thing.
11 wins out of 12. Best xG for and against. Top of the league. Joint top of the CL. Five goals conceded.
Nothing…
Strewth, tough crowd.
This.Honeymoon periods can be awfully long. Look at the run we went in under Ole with he took over as caretaker.
11/12 wins but nothing about them looks impressiveThey were poor tonight, and in a lot of ways lucky to win. Nothing about them looks impressive.
Poor? No, that's what gets served up at old Trafford most weeks.They were poor tonight, and in a lot of ways lucky to win. Nothing about them looks impressive.

In the sense "poor is what gets served at old Trafford".
Maybe they just didn't communicate well enough? "Bring in that bald Dutch guy, he seems like a good coach" - "Say no more"Two Dutch bald headed managers and we got Ten Hag.
To make matters worse, we chose first ….ffs!
It might be a honeymoon period it might be significant. I don’t know. I was responding to the daft post saying Liverpool were poor (not true) and nothing impressive about the team (not true).Honeymoon periods can be awfully long. Look at the run we went in under Ole with he took over as caretaker.
You have got to be kidding meSecond theory, was Klopp all that? He just got lucky with having some world class players.
Exactly. Salah would be a bigger loss.Klopp wanted Brandt over Salah. Edwards has been immense for Liverpool.
You are not living in reality, there was a lack of quality, very pedestrian.Poor? No, that's what gets served up at old Trafford most weeks.
We played some great stuff in the first half and their keeper was their best performer on the night. Then we took our foot off the gas second half. Still the best team in the game overall.
There's a big difference between "win with Room for improvement" and 'poor'.
Had the easiest run of matches in the PL and a very easy 3 games in the CL.11/12 wins but nothing about them looks impressive

Brexit Jim strikes again! When will this evil ever end?!?!Poor? No, that's what gets served up at old Trafford most weeks.
I want to believe this is just a new manager bounce, but christ, I never thought the Klopp replacement would come in and start like this. I'd laugh if it wasn't so utterly depressing how its gone for them compared to the piles and piles of shit we've put up with post Fergie.
Still incredibly early days, but lets face it the league is very much up for grabs for them, and everything else.
Could've gone 1-0 down right before we scored, and they had another one (or even two?) ruled out for offside and a major feck up by Openda in added time where he could've squared it first touch but totally ruined it.xG 2.65 Vs 0.9
I think your definition of lucky is "they were lucky that they weren't really unlucky tonight."
We were the better team, we won. Keep doing it too. One of our opinions at least is congruent with the results over the past three months.
Yeah, I was like 'come on, man' at that oneYou have got to be kidding me
But Leipzig are a good side and will always create moments of danger. It’s away in Europe’s premier competition and Liverpool outplayed (xG-wise) a Pot 1 team. This isn’t meant to be easy, even if some pretend it is. Offside goals are a result of a disciplined back four so credit to Liverpool rather than unlucky Leipzig.Could've gone 1-0 down right before we scored, and they had another one (or even two?) ruled out for offside and a major feck up by Openda in added time where he could've squared it first touch but totally ruined it.
I agree that we weren't lucky and overall dominated the game quite easily but we were very sloppy and over-confident at times, especially TAA and Virgil when going for second balls or trying to pass it out from the back.
Two quality away wins at good sides though now and the only team left with 9/9 in the CL alongside Villa, good start and great position to finish in the top 8.

Winning 1-0 away is for losers. Real champions win 3-1.I think people these days have too high an expectation. Going away to Europe and winning 1-0 has always been a good result.
Its silly to think that other teams wont get chances, whoever you play, the team will create a few chances.
Real teams play in the CL. Nice scorelineWinning 1-0 away is for losers. Real champions win 3-1.
