'Liverpool will ACCEPT Arne Slot's style' 👏 - Steve Nicol REACTS to Liverpool-Brentford | ESPN FC

Liverpool Liverpool of course with the win at the weekend we had an interesting question extra time yesterday was asking whether or not the anfield fans will tolerate this sort of football in comparison to klopp and it's not quite as rock and roll not quite as exciting but obviously as pragmatic is that going to be a problem at all going forward absolutely not listen Liverpool Liverpool accepted the Roy Hodson style Liverpool accepted bonitz bonitz you know completely changed how Liverpool played the anfield you know from from the 60s through till julier and Benes Liverpool anfield was about attack attack attack it was soon as that whistle went we're getting after it and they accepted the Hodson as I said and the Bonita's way of playing and the Julio way of playing they accepted that so absolutely there is no question they'll accept the way Liverpool played in the weekend and the way aners plays again Liverpool weird though obviously they've played ipswitch brenford got the wins they got Manchester United though coming up at the weekend first proper test at Old Trafford that's where we have a proper conversation about where Liverpool is isn't it yeah I think it was I actually thought it was really interesting listening to Van dik um and on the slot after the game where they were talking about brenford in particular who they were all about the Counterattack and how good they were on it and the way they went about the game they nullified that now and my head Liverpool man united particularly last season and I think it will be the same this weekend com is about United winning we will'll only win this game on the Counterattack and the way Liverpool played the way they changed the way they went forward it absolutely wasn't rock and roll of of of clock but it was it was more measured right it there there was a there was a sense of well we can open class teams but we're not going to do it in a way that makes us vulnerable if we lose the ball and that's exactly what I saw at the weekend when they lost the ball and brenford tried to counter them they smothered it really quickly the only chances brenford had were were set pieces an open Play Liverpool smothered them and that's not something Liverpool did over the last 18 months to two seasons they've been given opportunities away to anybody and everybody who's been to anfield in particular on the break that didn't happen at the weekend Trent had a grump coming off any problem with that yeah yeah that's not good take him off just to to kill every off can I ask a stupid question we talked so much about players playing too much football mhm and how they need to rest y surely isn't there not a realization from Trent's point of view that that's exactly what is being applied to him here you're to L up you're going to win the game you're not going to make any difference so why are you so upset by that why does this upset you so much the straightforward would answer is is that clearly he's had enough of it I think I think he's fed up getting taken off you know he should he should understand the reason behind it but clearly he doesn't want to and he wants to play night minutes that that's I think he's just fed up of it uh last year of his contract of course uh I'll get any chance he could move before Friday I think it's very very slim but you know if Real Madrid make a big offer then Liverpool might have to consider it but I think Real Madrid's idea is to wait until the end of the season when maybe Danny Carvajal moves on and and Trent is out of contract now there's a bit of a game of chest going on here now with with Trenton and Liverpool so he his inclination is to stay but he's you know he's attracted by the idea of moving to La Li I think you know who wouldn't be especially For Real Madrid so this it's maybe like 6040 in favor of staying Liverpool Le 12s wanted him to stay but they don't want to give him a contract that makes him the highest PID player at the club beond Mella beond Vil van DJ because that creates problems in it self so right now you've got a bit of a standoff going on but the problem Liverpool have got is that if they leave it too long they could get to January without having nailed down to a contract and then he can talk to foreign clubs for to over over a free pre- agent move next summer and Liverpool really they really can't afford to lose one of their best home grown players for nothing they've had it before I think Ste you know stepen manman left quite a few years ago kind of different circumstances but a similar scenario whereby the fans began to turn on Maka because they felt that as a homegrown player should have he should have been more loyal to the club and I think that will happen with Trent and so Liverpool don't want to get in a position where they risk losing a big Financial bonus by offloading him but equally Trent doesn't want to be in a position where he becomes like the boo boy the fans turning in for for being so-called disloyal so I think both sides have got to kind of maybe tone down the ego a little bit and and dial it down to try and find a way but it's not looking good you know obviously most salary and Virgil Van DJ out of contracts in summer as well but their different scenarios are both like early 30s Trent Prim of his career hung run player potential future Liverpool Captain it's strange one but I do think eventually they'll come to some sort of agreement with the they need to get a move on and I think what doesn't help as well this kind of lack of communication from both sides and it leaves the fans in the dark and Liverpool fans you know we do know that they have a kind of this bond with the players and the manager they won't want to be left in the dark about this if Trent Alexander Aro wants to leave he should come and say it and and be honest if Liverpool don't want to keep him they should try and move him this week but I don't think either's going to happen yet what would you do if you Liverpool Stevie in this situation him you try and keep him but you said like when we were picking the best 11 you had him playing in Midfield at the start of the Season why would you keep a right back who can't defend have you seen him playing recently well I'm sorry has he magically turned the turned the corner after I switch brenford are you going to wait wait before before the season started before the season started you said he was a disaster as a Defender and therefore you put him in Midfield but now he brilliant so so he's not changed as a Defender right well you still think he's a disaster as as a Defender yeah so explain to me why's not are you seeing he's not you explain to me why you want to fight to keep him then as your right back well did you see the ball he played for for MOS against have you seen the balls that this guy's played consistently going forward I've told you going forward he's he's he's arguably as good as anybody with a ball at his feet going forward but he can't defend right so so you have to make a decision are you going to put up with it right and and I'm going to put up with it okay which which by the way ygen klopp did yes so I mean ygen klopp's Camp so is that is that wrong he's left isn't he though oh yeah again [Music]
