Liverpool manager Arne Slott has slammed Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United’s tactics in the run-up to Sunday’s Premier League win at Anfield.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dutch tactician spoke after the 2-1 defeat, which left the Reds with a four-point lead, about how unlucky his side were despite creating many chances.<\/p>\n

Liverpool did come close on several occasions, with Alexander Isak missing a golden opportunity in the first half, while Kodi Gakpo hit the post three times in total.<\/p>\n

Watch the video clip below where Slott harshly criticized Man Utd’s tactics in the post-match press conference, explaining that Man Utd were playing in a “low block” and playing a lot of “long balls” against teams…<\/p>\n

Arne Slott talks about Manchester United’s tactics<\/h2>\n

“If you play United, who have a lot of quality players, if they come at us with a low block and give us a lot of long balls, you definitely don’t want to lose 1-0,” Slott said.<\/p>\n

“If you told me that we were 1-0 down against a United team that played in their style, and that we created eight, nine, 10 open chances, I would tell you that I don’t think that’s possible.”<\/p>\n

He added: “Out of all the chances we had, we only managed to score one goal.”<\/p>\n

The former Feyenoord manager also lamented the fact that his team conceded a goal again from a set piece.<\/p>\n

Overall, this was a bad day in the office for LFC and it will be interesting to see if they can turn things around after four straight losses.<\/p>\n

Many of the new players don’t seem to be hitting the mark, and last season’s stars like Mohamed Salah have also regressed.<\/p>\n
