Analysis from Paul Gorst in Columbia after Liverpool's clash with Manchester United in pre-season ends with a 3-0 win over Manchester United at Williams-Brice Stadium
Liverpool's three-game tour of the United States was wrapped with a 3-0 win against Manchester United in Columbia on Friday night. Goal from Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas did the damage as Arne Slot 's side signed off to make it three straight wins, Stateside.
For those at open training on Monday morning at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, Slot could be heard repeatedly bellowing out phrases like "patience", "kill them with passes" and "everytime you lose the ball, you lose an opportunity to score a goal”. "We’re learning different roles and I think it's key for us to get the understanding now with one another and where we need to be in certain positions throughout games and certain situations and it is going to come but it is not something that will happen overnight."
As the development of the new style continues in the weeks and months, Elliott and Jones, as creative, technically excellent midfielders with their best years ahead of them, will be two of the players who stand to benefit most. Both were excellent here against top Premier League opposition.Ask Fabio Carvalho, as the ECHO did after the Real Betis game, and he will tell you he is a dyed-in-the-wool No.10.
Open training was instructive to what Slot wants Carvalho to do, with the head coach imploring him time and again to attack the spaces and take on his man. His goal here, where he shimmied past multiple Champions League winner Casemiro before dispatching with aplomb, was proof he has been listening.
