Arne Slot has been told he can do himself a favour by not publicly moaning about rival manager's tactics and instead focusing on his own failures, amid speculation his job at Liverpool is suddenly on the line.

Slot reportedly cited a controversial retired athlete as part of his encouragement to Gravenberch and his teammates.

Manchester United defended in a deep block against the Reds for large periods, with Ruben Amorim's side happy to surrender possession and rely on counter-attacks. Liverpool have found it difficult to win physical battles this term, and they often struggled to deal with United's long-ball strategy at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is being urged to take one player out of the firing line for their Champions League clash against Frankfurt.

Steve Nicol believes that Liverpool ’s players don’t trust summer signing Milos Kerkez and, at times, even look scared to pass him the ball. Kerkez looked to be a shrewd acquisition by Liverpool when he was picked up for £40million after catching the eye with his all-action displays at Bournemouth last season.

Arne Slot brutally branded Manchester United a "long-ball team" as he claimed Liverpool "hardly conceded a chance" in their disappointing 2-1 loss at Anfield on Sunday. United registered their first victory at Anfield since 2016 and secured back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since Ruben Amorim took over as head coach in November last year.
