Slot’s post-match interview after three wins out of three left fans even more impressed. He provided a breakdown of Ten Hag’s tactics and explained how Liverpool beat United convincingly. Firstly, he noted that United’s pressing structure had changed in their opening four games, three of which resulted in defeat.
Slot then highlighted how United’s full-backs preferred to stay high, allowing opposition wingers to take up dangerous positions. Finally, he explained the importance of having aggressive midfielders who can win duels. Slot’s detailed analysis stood in stark contrast to Ten Hag’s less detailed post-match assessment.
Fans appreciated Slot’s insight and analysis compared to the simplicity of Ten Hag’s comments about the game. Ten Hag mentioned being “in the game,” acknowledged Liverpool’s dynamic play, and credited Liverpool for their clinical finishing. Slot’s analysis and insight left fans impressed with his detailed breakdown of the game, which was lacking in Ten Hag’s assessment.
