And if his replacement Steal on the bench of the “reds” was characterized as the most difficult thing in European football this summer, o Arne Slott he seems to be succeeding famously with what he has presented in the first three games as coach of the Merseyside club.

“By placing Dias and Salah up high and having quick midfielders to get the ball, we were able to get into 1v1 situations with the wingers every time” he said shortly after Sunday’s derby.
And what did he do? Left put the “Pike“, right him “Pharaoh“, the two collaborated on two of the three goals, while the trio of midfielders were Hraffenberg, Somboslay and McAllister. That is, three players who ran too much to cover spaces, regain possession and help in quick transition.
It sounds simple, it was highly effective and the Ten Haag defeated by state.
THE Arne Slott has now managed to make Liverpool after three matches have the most finals (37), the highest value in the xGoals index in the Premier League (5.3) and the lowest in xGoals against, with just 1.0 possible finish for passive.
Arne Slot is the first Liverpool manager to win his first away league game against Manchester United in 88 years.
