Arne Slot Dissatisfied With Defensive Lines, Luckily The Offensive Side Explodes
JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool match in the 17th week of the 2024/2025 Premier League, Sunday, December 22, 2024, WIB night, flooded with goals.
There were nine goals created with a final score of 6-3 for Liverpool's victory at Spurs headquarters.
The Reds manager, Arne Slot, praised his team's offensive performance, but he was quite disappointed with the defense.
According to the Dutch coach, the craze for the attack line destroyed the rise of Spurs in that match.
"Until the 60-65 minute, I really, really, really, enjoyed what I saw."
"But then you also see that, no matter how qualified the players are, they think they don't need to run anymore (after winning 5-1)."
"In this league, especially against Tottenham, who are also very good at possession of the ball, they are soon starting to create chances. That's what they (Spurs) do."
"They scored two goals (small the gap to 3-5 and started to rise). I'm glad we scored the sixth goal, to be honest (disbursed the rise of Spurs)," said Slot after the match.
Liverpool's attack line explosions in every game this season have had a major impact. The Reds have never been in danger or on the verge of defeat this season.
You see, Liverpool will sooner or later reply to goals if they are left behind, even turning things around.
As for the defense, the Reds need to improve because they still often leave flaws.
"We are pretty good up front, but in defense we need to improve as a team."
"The results are quite good and hopefully we can continue to run," said Mohamed Salah.
The victory brought Liverpool stronger at the top of the 2024/2025 Premier League standings with a collection of 39 points, four points ahead of Chelsea.
Next, the Reds will host Leicester City after Christmas, December 27, 2024, early morning WIB, before closing 2024 by traveling to West Ham headquarters on December 30, 2024.
