How Slot's Perfect Defence Destroyed Man United

It was a convincing win for Liverpool against Man United at Old Trafford, and continues Slot's perfect start at Liverpool. In this match, both Arne Slot and Erik Ten Hag wanted to use the same defensive system, but there's a very big reason why it worked so well for Liverpool and why Man United struggled to make it work, let's take a look!

1 pre-season & everyone can see Arne's tactical plans. ETH's 3rd season & still don't know what he's doing

[deavonturenvanjetse]

Slot is 🐐. He made Feyenoord play 200% better. They owe him everything and he will win the premier league in his first year with Liverpool…

✅FACT✅
Macca positioning & movements without the ball in the last three games have made Grav shines 🔥 Same thing used to happen to Cacido with Macca at Brighton 🤷‍♀️

[SrikkanthG]

Simple answer, a well coached team vs a not so well coached team.

[zoranzwalua]

The best thing about slot is that hè doesnt attack the media or go into the hype like them. He stays down to earth and says: a win is just a win.

Great to see him strive at Liverpool.
Been following him for a while in the Netherlands and the thing that stand out the past years that he always knows what the opponent will do in the game (and the players said this throughout the seasons here), and was able to pick a suitable game plan for each opponent. His teams in the Netherlands sometimes lacked quality to execute all the plans to perfection against the top teams (Atletico, Roma). But this guy is very gifted in his analysis of the games and was able to bring it to the players of Feyenoord. The question was if top level players at Liverpool would take him seriously (as he was a very mediocre player himself), but so far things seem to be going great! I believe he will prove himself to be an outstanding manager at Liverpool

Four things defeated The manures.
Our defence.
Our midfield.
Our attack.
Our manager.

Liverpool defending the counter attack like we see in sports like basketball, handball etc.... impressive ❤🎉

[thabisosamsam]

Great insight felt like liverpool were just everywhere won decisive challenges pressed high. What i like was they had numbers going forward especially 3rd goal of Salah created a 4 v 2 which means more options he's a coach who loves numerical superiority in certain areas of the field

[KrMees]

If you want to see more Eredivisie management you should really take a look at Peter Bosz's PSV. His team dominated the league last season and is off to a flying start again this season. They will be interesting to watch in the CL this season.

I love this channel🔥. I love it because FM is based in Italy so when he analysis United, he has no real deep emotional connection so he analyses correctly without any agendas

[ParetoEmperor-jpke]

Liverpool essential for defending and transition to attack inspired from American Football / Rugby, with alot of pass and move, quite brilliant

[Jay-mnkb]

Teams have found many ways to beat Man United but Ten Hag has only find one way to defend so far

[Kubosarutobi]

I was so nervous about Slot, i knew his system but i thought would it work in the PL. Though his yet to face a big side but so far I'm very impressed with how quickly and efficiently his integrated his tactical philosophy

[Satray]

What happened to Onana transforming the way United "build from the back". Still waiting to see this sweeper keeper we paid 60m for

[dsxcdti]

A day to remember, performance by the whole team and the tactical discipline paid off!
Super sharp, dangerоus, extremely fast and clinical in front of goal. While being soild unit at the back, Alli left his mark in the game with 2 or 3 crucial saves, (from close range) continuing the clean sheet streek 🆙!
Big Virg and Ibou patroled like prison giuards outside and inside the box limiting United from creating chances! 🛡️
Diaz and Salah are on fire 🔥⚡, but also credit to their effort in defense!
Szobo Rayan and Macca controled the middle of the park, by winning most of their duels and supplying the forward line with forward and direct passing.
Robbo and Trent dominated the flangs with Kostas and Bradley coming off the bench and SLOT right in!
Cody and Darwin bring fresh legs and extra danger, always keeping pressure on the oposition back line, with threatening runs in behind!
WE WALK ON ✊
In Slot we trust!
Day for the history 📖
YNWA reds ⚽🔥🔴

I was looking for an analysis like this one. The defensive shape of United is a major problem and I noticed it ever since the first game with Fulham. With Brighton, they were passing into spaces United was not present in. For all the ten Hag backers at United, this is not a problem Ugarte can fix, I'm sorry. Ugarte cannot be everywhere on the pitch at the same time. The problem is structural and tactical. Hopefully Van Nistelrooy can fix this when ETH gets sacked because ETH is never going to fix this problem and I don't think he's consulting his assistants. They can't all be blind to this.

[JoaoVitor-sfvv]

the Casemiro mistakes is noit just a player mistake, is a system mistake

[nenoroalzafen]

Took them 2 years to finally realize Luis Diaz is the man

[moze]

brilliant analysis, as a Liverpool I love slot and he's a top manager, Slot ball is amazing so far
