Awful & outplayed - Slot must look closer to home to end Liverpool slump

Do not be fooled by the narrow 3-2 scoreline. Brentford were superior in every aspect, and had Liverpool somehow rescued a point it would have been grand larceny. Slot focused on the number of long balls the Reds have had to cope with, along with deep-lying defensive strategies, as a reason behind their dramatic fall from grace which brought a fourth successive Premier League defeat.

Nagelsmann sorry if long ball' Northern Ireland comments seen as disrespectful

I didn't mean any disrespect. I said it may not be beautiful to watch but the more important topic, the key topic I mentioned is they do it really well. They play long balls with an idea. They have a special mood in the team and I also mentioned it's very difficult to beat this team, they don't concede many goals and they create a lot of chances by set-pieces.
