Got to say I liked Slot last season but this quote is a disgrace:
"I'm not too sure if I saw a football match," Slot told Sky Sports after the game. "It was set-piece after set-piece, long throws. It didn't have a lot to do with tactics. But I liked a lot how we stood strong."

We battered you for 30 mins, then you got a luck goal and red card and another goal just after half time and then we battered you again with 10 men for another 45 mins and you scored a lucky break in the 101st min - be grateful your subs bailed you out you bald headed mong. He was lucky he had Klopp's team and tactics in play last season - clearly tweaked stuff over the summer and can't see them winning the league again this year if the first few performances are anything to go by.

It was his team doing it
the length of time taken for goal kicks, passing the ball from Van Dick to Allison then to Konate was unbelievable
it was also on their throw ins that took an eternity (Liverpool players being warned about it but no action) the 15 yard steal up the pitch out of defense for on 1 throw in by the East Stand
not to mention the amount of times Hooper had to intervene with the grappling in the Liverpool box by Liverpool players

Exactly - "Opta's statistics indicate the ball was in play for 40.8% of the match" I'd love to know the break down on how long they wasted of the 60% compared to our lads...

Why would we play for set pieces lol

We are probably worse than the average Championship side at them

Said it last night, if you'd offered me a point on the board, before a ball was kicked this year, I'd have taken it.

Villa away and Liverpool to start the season is a horrible pair of opening games. Yes we could have had another 3 points if we'd beaten the 10 men of Villa and held on for another min vs Pool but we look good, just need a striker to bury some of the chances we are creating.

I just think those 5 points missed will bite us in the arse at the end of the season. Last season we scrapped through on goal difference.
We need to change our mentality as a fan base. We arent the plucky underdogs any more. This proud stuff is all well and good but go on the forums and its Liverpool find a way to win again. No one cares about the performance in next few weeks it's the points on the board.

From my negative view this has been the start of our season:

Lost star striker to Liverpool and Man U
Our striker on strike and wanting to go to Liverpool
We have Osula as only Striker that Howe doesnt trust
We have lost our left winger for 3 games
We have lost our CM pairing for 1-3 months
We have thrown away 5 points because out recruitment team cant seem to find a striker that can score more goals than Wilson ( 0 goals)

But we have put good performances in.

To me, we are in the **** but everyone is saying, smell the flowers.

We played well but it means nothing. Liverpool on the other hand played ****e in two matches and have 6 points. Thats the difference at the moment, we are proud and they just grab the points. Points make prizes

Not sure "in the ****" is the right representation of where we are at currently. Like I say I'd have taken this before the season started as a start against two very good teams but equally I'm disappointed to not have another 3 point on the board yet as we are probably worth them based on the performances.

If we get a striker in before the window closes who can finish the chances we are creating we will be where we need to be at the end of the season.
 
I honestly think i'd put Schar on corners..yes you'd lose his threat in the box but i bet he'd put a good delivery in.
