I’m not sure about the highlighted to be honest. I haven’t seen much difference in the way Forest, Leeds, Fulham or Crystal Palace played against us, nor Arsenal or Cheaty. The change imo, has more to do with Slot misusing Salah’s qualities for instance, by telling him to stay on the right wing, and thus, too far from goal to have his usual effect. Or from allowing Diaz to leave the club last summer, and thus, to deprive us from a quality option on that side. There are many other rational reasons for our slump in performance, but I don’t think that many teams have spectacularly changed their style when playing us, compared with last season, when we were dispatching them on a regular basis.
