Ex-Manchester City midfielder Michael Brown says Liverpool had a strong “all-round performance” against his former club, but it was their man-to-man press that impressed him the most.
“Liverpool started fantastic,” Brown told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast. “Players were dropping in to play with great intensity, the midfielders were making great runs and trying to get shots away and the defensive pairing were winning duels.
“They then waited and defended as City grew back into the game, and they did that really well as a team.
“I really like the way they press and are hungry out of possession. You have to give them the credit for an all-round good performance.
“I have been really impressed with Arne Slot’s tenure so far.”
