By that definition neither have we.Joint top but haven’t played a decent team yet
I thought their midfield looked more capable. They look a good team and may well push us.They looked decent, but I don't see much adjustment in style - still looked like kick and rush with the main threat being getting the ball long /wide to the front three who break quickly to panic the defence. Same old, but not as good as in their pomp under klopp.
Today was the first time I've seen them and I thought the midfield only looked good because the rags were such a shambles. I agree they will be up there though.I thought their midfield looked more capable. They look a good team and may well push us.
I have watched their thre games and think they might be our main opposition.Today was the first time I've seen them and I thought the midfield only looked good because the rags were such a shambles. I agree they will be up there though.
They’ve beaten very average opponents so far so we can’t judge them yet on these performances. Robertson and Tront look as despicable as they ever were and the defending against the rags still gave chances which I think Erling would have buriedThey looked decent, but I don't see much adjustment in style - still looked like kick and rush with the main threat being getting the ball long /wide to the front three who break quickly to panic the defence.

They look very well organised. It is impressive they have changed their style so quickly. It is obvious that Slot knows what he is doing. Early days but they look better than Arsenal for starters.I have watched their thre games and think they might be our main opposition.
Not disagreeing per se, but I would not say "average", more that they would expect to get results. They have played Brentford (at home) who will give teams a hard time with their pace and pressing, I would say that's not a given especially for a first game, then they won at Ipswich (which is a given) and then went to the Rags where they did not win last year and we all know that the rags can pull a shock off. So although they would hope to win all 3, its not a given. I really dislike the Dippers but can see them and Arse being very difficult this season.They’ve beaten very average opponents so far so we can’t judge them yet on these performances.

I think the seamless transition really highlights that good players take control on the pitch. We all over egg managers including us with Pep...Statistically nearly half of goals scored come from mistakes from the opposition..crazy I know. Whilst a team can harry the opposition into mistakes (through being well organised) a lot goals come from just terrible decisions ..poor back pass, not looking over the shoulder etc...so manager don't half take a lot of credit for what their team does on the pitch. In the Tony Book era most were pretty much accepting that its the players who do the work and the managers (in the main) got paid about half of the players salary - now, for some reason, managers are superstars! Klopp made a lot of money out of that - one league win in 9 years yet he made millions and millions out of Liverpool - Modern football eh!They look very well organised. It is impressive they have changed their style so quickly. It is obvious that Slot knows what he is doing. Early days but they look better than Arsenal for starters.
