Curtis Jones has provided an insight into how Liverpool's style of play will change under Arne Slot, revealing a more patient, possession-based approach is on the cards. Life without Jurgen Klopp steps up this weekend when the Reds face Real Betis in their first public summer friendly during their USA tour under new boss Slot. Liverpool were keen to appoint someone with similarities to Klopp's way of playing in order to make the transition a smooth one.
Those principles are the same but the central midfielder will be more the heart of the team. 'Mo Salah will always get us goals but we need to be comfortable on the ball and be calm in our build-up as a team. We're not in a rush to attack. We need to break teams down and when we give the ball away we can press. In the past it was a rush to get the ball back, a bit too direct, up and down, up and down. Now we want to have all the ball and completely kill a team.
