In the BBC program, former Manchester United defender Phil Jones talked about Liverpool's current situation. He said that Slott's remarks about the opponent's direct style of play were a bit of an excuse.
Phil Jones said this: "I fully support coaches defending themselves. You need to stand up and speak for the players in the locker room. But when it comes to the opponent's direct style of play (continuous long passes), I think he is a bit looking for excuses."
" That's what teams will do, those teams won't play against Liverpool at Anfield because they know what they're facing and that would be stupid, but now I see Liverpool have holes in their defense and every time the ball goes into the box, they look a little panicked."
