Slot explains what went fallacious in Man Utd defeat
Speaking in his post-match press conference after his team lost at home to United, Slot was quizzed about what he felt went fallacious in the sport and said: ‘The result.
‘And the incontrovertible fact that we went 1-0 down so early. If you happen to play United, with so many quality players they’ve – [and they] brought in a couple of latest ones this summer – and in the event that they come to us in a low block, playing so many long balls, then the very last thing you’ll want goes 1-0 down.
‘Because that offers them much more belief. If you happen to would have told me we’re 1-0 down against a United team that played within the style they did, and you’ll have told me that we might create eight, nine, 10 open probabilities, then I’d have said to you that I don’t think that is feasible.
‘However it was possible. So, the second thing that went fallacious is that from all the possibilities we got, we only scored one goal.
‘I even have said it in Holland again and again and possibly I’ve said it here as well, it’s almost unattainable to win a giant game of football – and Liverpool v United is a giant game with so many quality players on the pitch – to win it with a negative set-piece balance.
‘We conceded one other one and that led to us losing the sport.’
Liverpool have now lost their last 4 games across all competitions, with Slot’s men also beaten by Chelsea, Galatasaray and Crystal Palace.
The Reds are back in motion on Wednesday night once they face Eintracht Frankfurt within the Champions League.
