Impressive performance from Liverpool. I'm impressed by how they dealt with their opponents' counters. They quickly got a lot of men behind the ball. They look assured against any counterattack. They seem ready to counter their opponents.

Arne slot is really improving the way we playing football. Also, I like Slot's decision to sub off our front 3 early. It's a prep for facing Manchester United soon. Slot's decision making is also very good.

You know, it's how they kept adding pressure on Brentford that made Frank's boys relent and easily loose focus if not on a normal day, Brentford are a good club. They also excel at punishing teams with wicked counters especially when Wissa and Mbuemo are paired together.
I guess Liverpool didn't give Brentford enough time to celebrate their win against Crystal palace because you can measure if a team is strong when they meet an equally stronger side and defeat them but it showed clearly yesterday that Brentford are just an average team who managed to beat an equally average team but couldn't go further when they got hit with a challenge like Liverpool.
I look forward to seeing their performance against Man UTD, whether Erik ten Hag's boys will be subdued by Arne Slot's Liverpool or the Red devils will put up a better fight than Brentford.

It is unclear whether Brentford is not in their best form or Liverpool is simply too strong for them but what is certain is that Liverpool played impressively and they deserved the win. It is quite difficult to compare the strengths between teams because the season has only just started and I think there are still some teams that haven't yet set up. However, the match against Man United seems to be able to be used as a comparison, whether Liverpool with their new coach and strategy is truly effective or whether Man United is the one who stands out with all the changes they have made.
