“This play is definitely going to be a problem in the future when we play stronger teams. This play style is so sloppy and underwhelming. It’s a fact that his play style won’t allow us to win” – Richard Keys has stated that Liverpool fans are not in favor of Arne Slot’s style of play, calling it a clear fact.
Richard Keys has insisted that Liverpool fans will not appreciate the style of football their team will play under Arne Slot.

Slot has kicked off his tenure as Liverpool manager on a positive note with a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town at Portman Road in their first Premier League match of the season.
However, Keys remains skeptical about Slot’s fit at Liverpool, questioning whether his style of play aligns with the type of football that Liverpool fans expect to see week after week.
He is confident that fans will give Slot the benefit of the doubt early in the season as long as the team is winning, but Keys expects doubts about the Dutchman to surface around October or November.
The veteran broadcaster doesn’t think Slot’s style of play will resonate with Liverpool fans, given the club’s history.
Keys said on beIN SPORT: “I think Slot, if he is winning games, will get away with it until October or November when he will start to lose games.
“Liverpool fans do not want the brand of football he is going to serve up, and that’s a fact.
“They like to watch Liverpool play exciting football.”
Slot will be hoping that continued positive results on the pitch will help win over the fans in the weeks and months ahead.
