Here is a video analysis of Slots Liverpool witch has som good points. It is interesting to follow the evolution of this during the season.
For example Brighton bated Liverpools pressure by the right sideline in the middle of the pitch. They used Salas and Trents suboptimal pressure play combined with playing the ball as early as possible to the area where Liverpools players has been ordered to start the press. So that the start positions of the defenders was some meters further away from the sideline than normal.
They created 3 big opportunities this way, before Slot adjusted the conditions.
It will be interesting to see if Ipswich tries to do the same thing. Or a variation of some sort.
