sakidbet Liverpool manager Arne Slot was pleased with the performance of his team, except for one thing they failed to do: close out the game early after a 2-0 home win over Brentford. sakidbet
“We started the game really well and the most important thing was we didn’t give them too many chances. Their only big chance was from a set-piece, which is always difficult when playing against Brentford. They can create a lot of danger in different ways, but one of them was from a set-piece and we controlled the situation quite well, except for that one.” ( sakidbet )
“One of their set pieces also gave us our first goal, which was great news.”
“To start well like this you have to work very hard. The boys worked hard without the ball which made us better and better throughout the second half. That gave us a lot of good chances. The only thing we couldn’t do was kill the game off early.”
On Liverpool’s control of the game in the second half: “What I mean when I say control is what we did without the ball. We worked very hard to not let the other side create any chances. With the ball we tried to find situations where we wanted our best players to be there and that worked in the second half.”
“Nine times out of 10 games, if you give the opponent the same chances, you have a chance to win. We have one of the best goalkeepers, probably the best goalkeeper in the league, and we have a very good striker as well. What we do as coaches is put them in these positions and then the players work hard to make sure the other side doesn’t create chances.”
