He replaced his three most direct players (Jota, Nunez and Diaz) with players that suit his slow possession based style. He is replacing fullbacks known for providing service into the box with pacy wingers that push forward.

His style wasn’t boring last year because it was Klopp’s team that introduced a more measured possession approach. They built a big lead in the race for the league, and hung on as they limped to the end.

But for mw the most damning piece of evidence against Slot is that Liverpool’s best player this season is one who Slot actively worked to try and replace from his starting midfield.

Slot loves possession based football and has no idea how to beat a low block. And while he tries to figure out the latter, the team gets worse at everything else.

Oh and he insists on starting Gakpo despite the fact that Liverpool’s best run was when Gakpo was injured.
