Much much better the last few games. There could be a few reasons for that .
Firstly Slot looks to have changed tact somewhat and the slow side ways passing and slack press seems to have gone. Back to something like the intensity and speed of passing we are used to. Secondly neither Villa or Madrid played the way that has troubled Liverpool these last few months. Thirdly the team was at home . City on Sunday will be a huge test however .
I very much doubt Pep will play a low block ( or flat back 10 as it used to known) and lots of long balls so that may work in Liverpool favour. It is at the Etihad which I've never found to be the most intimidating away ground when I've been there but its still an away game. The main worry is Haaland. Remove him from that City team and they are no where near the side we've seen in recent years but he is there and is a machien. I feel he will need to have an off day Sunday as stopping him is not really possible at the moment he's just on a hot streak and scoring for fun. If he doesn't play well we will win comfortably. If he does play well he will score. I feel the game could be a high scoring draw and game of the season so far . Don't rule out Pep going long a lot more to Haaland to try and disrupt Liverpool . Poor Haaland performance 3-1 win. Good Haaland performance 3-3 draw. Lookong foward to the game massively.

Good job Slot didn't get sacked after the Palace game right?

Van Dijk has Haaland’s number. And City can never be written off.
But they did lose to Villa, who are apparently rubbish (because we beat them) .

Haaland gets nullified every time we play them. Van Dyke is all over him.

Thunderbird. If slot persisted with the way we played for the last 6/ 7 games prior to our 2 wins . how long do you think he would've lasted.

Slot would have gotten sacked eventually (whenever that would be? I don't know) had he been playing the same way. That much we do know.
He did the right thing and swallowed his pride and ego and I applaud him for that BUT let's not act like Slot was going to survive had he been playing the empty midfield/ horseshoe nonsense we were seeing initially.
