I also noticed VVD being used in an inverted full back style role in build up which arsenal had problems defending.
I notice vvd not being in his normal position wich was realy wierd
Arne Slot is a halftime adjustment wizard
Tactical Tweak: Szoboslai doing a Declan to Declans Arsenal!
It is the same thing that Porto did. Generally, all teams that Arsenal are pressing well just do this after a while.
Set Pieces FC lost to a set piece goal 😂😂😂
Also bringing on Jones who likes to hold the ball, meaning more time for other players to get distance and into better positions.
Jones substitution was the difference in the game for me. His ball retention and physicality allowed Liverpool to progress the ball better and Liverpool started getting chances after the hour mark
Get a free kick in the 80th min? What a genius. It’s incredible to me how one team was genius and the other a failure for a pickem’ game separated by a world class free kick. Neither team was great or bad.
Shifted the momentum over so hard they ended up with a 0.32 xG vs Arsenals pitiful 0.28 xG.
Gravenberch was also very central during the second half. He is so consistent in his ability on the ball. Pure class!
Slot using that Nagelsman x Kroos LB maneuver
Maybe amorim is on to something with his 3-4-3
Then there is this guy from the Sun who says LFC lacks clear identity.
Love the analysis. Would like to see a "how could Arsenal counter it" section on the main podcast.
History is told by the victor . Congratulations Liverpool we didnt do enough to win it so. No sulking
Jones changed the game
what tactical tweak? i thought the game ended with a single set piece goal?
Slot is a master tactician
Mate it was a 1-0 home draw from a wonder freekick. Wasn't a tactical masterclass.
