Yes, too many variables to look at, but overall, there are defensively too many issues. Small things like not winning second balls in midfield can hurt the backline, ManU could have scored more as well.

Just small little things ..

We only look at this stuff when team is on bad run

Yes, it looked more like something he would not openly discuss, the interview he gave to US broadcast. He may have avoided saying things in public, which is normal.

True, but need to get men behind the ball. Currently we are too open while defensively poor, just bad combo that

AJ in bSKY @ajpool.bsky.social · 2h

We have conceded two goals in 7 out of 12 games this season.

Out of those 7 games, we have won 3, all of those wins have come after 87th min

Just shows how hard it is to win, if you keep conceding

Reason for this post is, Slot did not mention much about defense in his post game yest 🤷‍♂️

With our current form, I am not too sure playing against anybody, including West Ham.

We literally handed Amorim 2 wins in a row for the first time, don't doubt if we end up giving hammers some joy

I think he forgot what happened for the first goal. Somebody did not track his runner, if I remember correctly.

More seriously, He is allowed an off day ...

He has been great this season, just wasn't on it against ManU

Watched extended highlights of ManU game, its astonishing how many times we lost second balls to their midfield. They kept putting long balls to our defense, won every single clearance, our midfield was almost always ahead of the ball, all 3 of them. No wonder we concede so many goals

Sometimes, the answer is quite obvious, but in this case, too many things are not right, to many players not performing.

We need to take a step back and play more defensive game for few matches to settle down.

Hopefully, Wirtz can find his mojo on home soil ... I feel he is one goal away from getting his confidence back.

He was good when he came on, just need to be in the line up more consistently

Was not that bad a game tbh

Brentford's physicality and long balls are going to be a problem for our not so functioning defense, hoping our coaching staff is paying attention

What 😮

There goes my last hope ...

AJ in bSKY @ajpool.bsky.social · 6h

We may need to bring back Nat Phillips just too add some height for the next game I reckon

I hope Slot is watching this West ham vs Brentford, even though it's not our immediate next game.

Biggest challenge for LFC currently is to not concede goals. Not sure how can we become more solid defensively, may be more defensive set up is needed.

We hv scored at least 1 goal in last 42 matches, just shows that if we can defend well, we have a much higher chance of winning the game #LFC

Need to play Hugo on the left, Isak as 9. Need to get both in the team.

Need Grav/Dom/Jones.. 2 of the 3 to handle DM roles, need them to sit in front of back 4

Frimpong or Chiesa on right over Salah for now, Bradley as RB

Wirtz behind top 3

Not sure if we have ever played 4-2-1-3

AJ in bSKY @ajpool.bsky.social · 10h

No clue , how agree mostly changed to she mostly ... 😂

AJ in bSKY @ajpool.bsky.social · 10h

Good points, she mostly. Need to find way to keep Ekitike in the team along with Isak, so Hugo on Left is not bad option.

Only issue would be Robbo over Kerkez .. understand why everyone saying that but Robbo can not defend either.

Agree with you .. we as a team have been poor since Feb this year, did not matter that much in PL, but missed out on League cup, Eliminated in CL, got bit lucky with 5 wins at the start of the season.

Need to make some bold changes to the team, and we have options now to put Salah on the bench
