Slaughter: Failing to defend a set-piece while waiting for a goal, like against Crystal Palace

October 20th, the focus of this round of Premier League match, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1. After the game, Liverpool coach Slott was interviewed by the BBC.

Talk about the game

"It's always difficult to face a team that defends deep and plays long passes. When a player goes down in the first minute and concedes a goal, the game becomes even more difficult. "

"If there is someone before the game Tell me, we were able to create so many chances with such intensive defense and long passing tactics. I would never have expected to lose in the end. But we did lose. We had enough opportunities to score more goals, but on the other hand we conceded two goals, one of which was a set piece. . "

As to whether this defeat is a repeat of previous defeats

"That is indeed the case. Apart from the actual goals we conceded, we probably gave the opponent one or two more chances, but when you're 1-0 down you have to take extra risks. With this in mind, we gave our opponents few chances and failed to defend against set pieces while waiting for a goal, as we did against Crystal Palace and several other games this season. Conceding points at set pieces is always hard to accept, because if you are at a disadvantage at set pieces, it will be very difficult to win. "
