Two issues with that assessment.
1. WTF was he doing that high up the pitch in the first place ?!
2. His clear lack of pace meant he had no chance of getting back - I bet Frimpong would have and all we needed was a body to prevent the cross.
Endo isn't, and never should be played at, RB.
Surprised he didn’t bring Jones on at RB
Slot said in his interview.
Joego only had 2 training sessions and so was not ready for 30 mins that's why he brought on Endo at RB initially.
He didn't think we had committed too many players when we lost the goals. He said we will always try to attack instead of sitting back.
Just posting it here since it seems like many hadn't seen the interview judging by the responses.
For the 2nd point, I don't totally believe him as we were alot more cautious under him. What he had mentioned was more of what we did see during Klopp's era. So let's see if it is one off or are we really going to start attacking at every chance even when protecting a lead.

I think he's just protecting players with those comments.
If it's about replacing Endo, sure. We can always upgrade, but its going to be difficult to convince someone like Stiller to join.
He was racially abused by some scally in a wheelchair. Hopefully he was wheeled off the pierhead into the Mersey.
The scally not Semenyo.
As for the game itself, Chiesa was glad that Slot looked to him to come off the bench this evening when the Reds needed a goal.
“I play wherever the coach puts me. I arrived here and had a lot of difficulty, because the tempo is just so different, but after a year I finally got my first Premier League goal. The coach gave me a chance and always had words of encouragement for me.”
Does this goal mean that Chiesa might not be leaving Liverpool for a return to Serie A after all?
“We will talk to Liverpool, but to be perfectly honest, I am happy here. I am playing for one of the best teams in the world. I just have to wait and be ready, as I was tonight, and prove that I can play for this team.

Chiesa: 'Very happy at Liverpool, Diogo Jota helped me score first goal' in 4-2 win
Italy international Federico Chiesa insists he is ‘happy’ at Liverpool and thanks Arne Slot for his ‘words of encouragement,’ while naturally his first Premier League goal was dedicated to Diogo Jota.

Difficult how? This is Liverpool, 99% of players would jump at the chance to be here.
Plus he would’ve started yesterday’s game.
Wirtz will be one of the players of the season. I've no doubt at all. Some acclimatisation and the odd poor game to be expected.
I didn't think he was 'poor' yesterday. He had his moments and was full of energy, just that he also had a handful of inaccurate passes / situations where I expected much better.
On balance if his name wasn't Wirtz, and having that price tag, I doubt there would be much concern.

He probably would have started, but players want to play regularly. Especially coming from other top leagues. I don't think Stiller would accept being an understudy to a guy who's younger than him.
But that part is inescapable. We've paid for a star, changed our shape for a star and have been hyped up for a star.
Everyone is (or should be) happy to show some patience but in the end, the expectations are clear.
All players have off games. Doubly likely being new to the PL.
He showed some sublime moments vs Palace. No worries.
Can you imagine fishing for a Dreamy Like?!
i’ve obviously got no idea what was said to him and it would’ve been a horrendous look for lfc but i can’t help but think walking off the pitch, even if just for 5 minutes, would’ve done more than a couple of seasons of taking the knee or wearing rainbow armbands.
it’s up to semenyo though and how he felt about it, well done to him for dealing with it and still having a great game on the night
Players know they'll be stiffer competition moving to a club like Liverpool, but I guarentee less playing time really doesn't detract away from their desire to join a bigger club, in a better league and increasing your pay packet. Plus we have a small squad (21 senior players), there's plenty of game time to go around for those who are good enough. Look how much Jones played last season for example, you don't think a Stiller or Wharton could match or better that?
No different to when we signed Endo who was a starter there, be no different to Leoni or Guehi if we sign him.
Oh yeah Jones, hahaha.
Yeah Im with you now. Get Stiller!
They were both on the pitch at the same time?
Whether Cody needs to be dropped now Grav will be back is another arguement but he's not the reason why that midfield 3 yesterday were so fucking brainless defensively.
that's what I'm talking about obviously.
When Gravy comes back, someone has to go out.
The main midfield three will be gravy, mac and Wirtz.
Slot said Frimpong felt his hamstring tightening, hence the Endo at RB sub.
Gomez hadn't trained at all. He then saw Endo making a mess of things and thought it was worth risking Gomez.
He probably should have tried Jones at RB and Endo midfield initially, but there was some context the TV and commentary didn't pick up.

Gomez was slated to play only 20 minutes, it was a chess piece move to put Endo first,
We still need to be better with the ball in our attacking third. Or be ready to hunt the ball back if we lose it.
For the price we’ve paid for Wirtz he has to be one of the best players we’ve ever had. Anything else will be a disappointment. Last night he reminded me a lot of Lazar Markovic, who I still think could come good.
Agree that he will be brilliant, but, in hindsight, it was probably a little early to make him my Fantasy League captain.
