Slot happy with Liverpool mentality but acknowledges low block issue

Arne Slot attributed Liverpool's struggles in their 2-2 draw with Manchester United largely to United's tactical approach.

While Liverpool started strong with early chances, they struggled against United's defensive "low block," which limited space and made it difficult to break through. United's attackers, Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo, also played a key role. Despite falling behind 1-0, Liverpool fought back to lead 2-1 before Diallo's late equalizer.

Slot praised United's quality both with and without the ball, noting that their long-ball strategy early on shifted to more effective play in the final stages. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admitted the team could have lost after a late chance from Harry Maguire, acknowledging room for improvement and learning from the performance.
