Arne Slot makes honest admission on Liverpool formation after experimentation v Real Betis

Arne Slot experimented not only with his use of players but also his tactical setup during Liverpool’s win over Real Betis on Friday night.

The Reds’ new head coach took full advantage of our opening pre-season friendly on the U.S. tour to assess a large chunk of the travelling squad and try out a formation which evolved as the match went on.

At the outset it was apparent that the 45-year-old had deployed a four-man attack with Harvey Elliott and Szoboszlai as false 9s while Mo Salah and Fábio Carvalho operated out wide.
