According to the Times, Slott believes that Liverpool is struggling to adapt to the tactical changes of their opponents.
Liverpool, which has suffered a two-game losing streak recently, is about to play Chelsea away this weekend. Slot said: "It mainly depends on the style of play and mentality that the opponent takes when facing us. We lost to Galatasaray away, right? This is the difference between taking over a team that ranked fifth and third last season. As a new coach, I may be more famous in the Netherlands and some other countries, but not so famous in England. Now look at Crystal Palace and then at Galatasaray. They will stop our attack at all costs. This is what all opponents are trying to do."
"These factors combined, which makes us It is more difficult to score in sports games than last season. I have noticed this trend last season, which is why we strengthened the transfer window. Sometimes it is to replace players, sometimes it is to increase certain abilities. What we have to do now is to prove that we can perform better in this kind of game than in the second half of last season and the first half of the season. "
Liverpool scored 40 goals in the first 19 rounds of the Premier League last season, including two scores through set pieces (excluding penalty kicks), while the second half of the data was 27 goals and eight set pieces. So far this season, this debut data has been 10 goals and 1 set piece. While the set piece is becoming increasingly important in the Premier League, Liverpool is also waiting for new players Wilz to adapt and Isaac to recover his form.
Slott said: "We brought in a very different midfielder than last season (Wilz), which we thought was necessary because there was a huge difference in the number of goals we scored through sports in the first and second half of last season. Although we were happy to win the league, we did not ignore the situation of relying on set pieces to win multiple times in the second half of the season. This is not a bad thing, because Arsenal and Chelsea now rely on set pieces in almost every game. We always pursue improvement, which is how the team works hard. But the different configurations of the midfield are not only because I want to do it, but many times it is because we really need to do it."
