Slot on Liverpool defensive discipline: 'The only chance you have to win here is to defend very well

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that Manchester City controlled possession for large parts of the game but praised his team’s defensive discipline in securing a crucial 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium. Slot acknowledged that City looked dangerous in the first half, even though they failed to create many clear-cut chances.

"The first half played out better for them than for us, apart from the score. I don't think they had too many big chances but it felt like they were going to score.

"A lot in the second half, I can't remember them having a big chance." "Ideally, we have the ball more than the other team. But City when it comes to ball possession, they like it a lot and are so comfortable on the ball. The only chance you have to win here is to defend very well," Slot has stated.
