In his first few weeks as Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot has shown us one thing that Jamie Carragher is hoping he will stop doing.
The Dutchman has won his first three Premier League games in charge, and following the most recent one—a 3-0 thumping of Manchester United at Old Trafford—he explained live on Sky Sports how he took advantage of the weaknesses in his opponent’s lineup.
Speaking on the latest Stick to Football podcast, the former Red has found the new head coach fascinating, even if he wishes the 45-year-old was less candid about tactical matters in public.
Carragher said: “It’s interesting listening to him. I spoke to him after his first game. He gives you something every time you speak to him from a tactical point of view whereas Jurgen [Klopp] would give you something from an emotional point of view. Every time Klopp spoke, he’d hang on something.”
When Ian Wright suggested that Slot ‘should stop’ dissecting opposition teams’ tactics in public, the ex-LFC defender replied: “I hope he does from a Liverpool point of a view. I’m thinking is it the Dutch way of doing things, they’re on the front foot, they’re quite open, they give their opinion? You ask them a question, they give you an answer, which is great for us.”
The Reds manager spoke candidly about how he outwitted United last week, which was unusual. Although his analysis was interesting to watch, we can see why the pundits are telling him to hold back on that front. Although there’s a chance that his candor will come back to haunt him in the future, we won’t mind too much as long as he continues to deliver results for Liverpool, which is his primary responsibility.
