I don't want to sound like a curmudgeon.

But look, it was a good win against Marseille.

I think the fundamental...

problems with slot remain and I haven't really seen any evidence that he's that interested in addressing them Liverpool still play very slow football their ultimate like this is the bigger point about the Champions League how

how the gap now between the Premier League clubs and everybody else they're meeting is just so massive that none of these games, like, you know, like Arsenal, how many players, rest seven players against Inter, like, and...

This is not a real test of teams most of the time anymore.

So it allows you to give your little pro-Arnis slot statement there when the closer to the reality is the kind of Burnley game and...

I feel with Slott now, there's just such an emphasis on his own PR whenever he speaks.

Like, you know, the Burnley game, talking about the amount of chances they created.

There is just this sense of...

And any time you watch Liverpool, there is nothing changing, as I said, in terms of those fundamentals, in terms of actually a team playing really aggressively, playing really...

quickly.

This is the thing that has been taken out of, and it is the Jurgen Klopp element of the team that was there last year and was part of the reason why they won the league.

What they had been instilled in Liverpool during the Klopp years was

was still there and slot was kind of tweaking it last year and then towards the second half of the year he was tweaking it a bit more and this year it has been entirely dismantled to that liverpool are this ponderous um cautious team and even when they were open to open there was no coherence to it and now they're just ponderous and cautious and um

The unbeaten record is kind of a sham.

Like, it is basically, you know, it's there to allow, you know, Arne Slott to say, well, you know, and his defenders to say, how could someone lose their job

in the middle of an unbeaten run.

Like, the fundamentals haven't really altered.

Now, maybe they will change.
