Arne Slot - Head Coach

I mean, to riff on Cynnie’s post, it’s not as if it’s that new.

You’ve got ten Hag playing false goalkeepers too.

I believe though that Howe is supposed to be a profound exponent of the false manager role?

EDIT: Forgot Pogba and the false player role. United is really the forefront of the expansion of tactics.

To be fair, I think United was lured by the mazy runs of the first false 32, Joel Matip. They didn’t realize that was the only true falsehood.

Seriously, is he some actor?

Didn’t see this in any of his pre/post match interviews, what does he mean?

It means, shitstirrer alert.

Slot:

On whether he used the Carabao Cup tie with West Ham earlier this season in his preparations for this fixture…

No, I don’t think I used the previous game to this game. They played back then with different players, I think - they mostly played with their non-starters. We played that game also mostly with our non-starters if you look at the long term of players that played most. So, I don’t think there’s a comparison between these two games. The good thing for us is that we scored so many goals because that’s what football is about - scoring goals and hoping the fans like what they see today.

So we do have starters and non-starters, I didn’t know…

:joy:

I mean that just looks like a convoluted way of saying what has become standard practice for the League Cup – give minutes to players who haven’t otherwise gotten many minutes.

There are a few non-starters on here to be honest.

I would love to hear in the future , someone from the Liverpool and their analytics team on how they zeroed in on this man.

All the talks about Xabi , Amorim and other flavours of the season. All the incessant chatter from the “pundits” on who needed to be hired.

Isn’t this confirmation of what a sporting director does.

Just how much analytics played a role. And a little insight on what were the key analytics that they looked at.
