Three points, a piece of piss.

I felt pretty relaxed tonight though maybe because there wasnā€™t huge pressure to win. As well as Slotā€™s system itā€™s also having Virg and Konate at the back who are both fucking immense.

11 wins from 12 games. What a start. Now letā€™s fucking smash Artetaā€™s crew on Sunday :muscle:

Heā€™d make my top three, together with Kelleher and KonatĆ©.

Voted for Konate then a wee bonus vote for Dom as a gift for @Mascot

I disagree about it not been a great performance we get the penalty or the Nunez or Virg header goes in its a different narrative. Scores donā€™t reflect performance.

I was more or less relaxed during the match.

Leipzig threatened a bit but those were the saves you expect a top quality keeper in Kelleher to be making.

And even if Leipzig had scored a goal , always felt we had the firepower to get one too.

We were playing on 2nd gear for 70 minutes of this match.

Until the last 15mins I thought we were comfortable, but we got very casual on the ball and allowed RBL chances - just through simple misplaced passes - that a decent PL side puts away. Loads to be happy about. Loads to work on.

We will get the two tough CL matches coming up. Itā€™s good that we face them at home.

A good result against Leverkusen would help us ease ourselves in to the top 8 at the end even if the Madrid result doesnā€™t go our way.

Something Iā€™m just now noticing about us under Slot - we donā€™t ship a lot of goals, do we?

Best defensive record across all the top leagues in Europe

I voted Kelleher, Konate then Gravenberch.

Three points, clean sheet, 11 wins from 12. It has been a great start to the season.

The more we are seeing of what Slot is doing, the more it appears he is going about his business in a classic sense. Job number one, be very good defensively. Check. We are not conceding many goals, and the whole side is working hard without the ball, to get back into shape.

We are giving up some chances, and it is not perfect, but on the early evidence of a dozen games, a clear improvement has taken place and we are very good indeed, defensively.

The next evolution of the side will be to improve in attack, and add a few more goals, and hopefully put the game to bed with a bit of margin to spare. Itā€™s not like we have been bad going forward. It has been fine, but there is a sense that there is more to come.

Slot started with a good squad. Thank you Jurgen. Time was limited in getting his points across to set up the team, before the action started. It is about as good as can be expected so far. 11 wins from 12 games is very impressive. Top of the Prem. 100% record in the CL.

And a sense that more is to come. Ideally we get a win against Arsenal and open up a 7 point gap on them. Up the reds!

We conceded a top-class goal by Forest, and then there was a defensive mix-up between Ali and Ibou at Molineux.

Two goals which are unlikely to be replicated.

And we should be charging atleast 45m for Kelleher next season.

Heā€™s good enough to be the first keeper for any side not Liverpool & RM.

I just thought we were incredibly sloppy in passing. First was decent, second half wasnā€™t great.
