"Teams played in a completely different way in the first half of the season against us than they did when we were top of the league after half of the season and top of the Champions League after the first part of the season. I can see this now going into this part of this season and we have to find answers to that. Last season one of them was a set-piece, like many teams unlock a low block with set-pieces, and this season we haven't done that yet."
"Alisson is not a part of the squad tomorrow and he is not going to travel to Brazil for the national team. It depends on how fast a recovery goes. It's clear he's not going to play for Brazil. I would be surprised if he will be there for the first game after the international break. From then things can go a bit faster or slower. It's always difficult to say the amount of games and weeks."
Arne Slot is seeking new tactical approaches as opponents increasingly sit deeper, leaving Liverpool struggling to break low blocks. The team suffered recent defeats to Galatasaray and Crystal Palace and has not yet found consistent ways to unlock compact defenses. Last season set-pieces provided one effective method to break low blocks, but that option has not yielded results this campaign. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker sustained a hamstring injury and is expected to miss around six weeks, ruling him out of the Brazil squad and likely delaying his return until after the international break. Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to make his Premier League debut at Stamford Bridge.
