Alan Shearer have spoken about the fact that the Liverpool midfield had gone through a different type of system this time.
System:
Alan Shearer reportedly has said that Liverpoolhave made a system in the midfield in the match against Inter Milan. This was a perfect match for Slot to try his new tactics as well. This is why it is said that Alan Shearer have talked about how he noticed there was a change of system in terms of midfield of course.
Arne Slot made sure that he benched Wirtz. He picked Curtis Jones instead of him as well. As we all know how horrendous Wirtz have been performing of course. This is the reason why Arne Slot literally decided to make sure that Wirtz stays on bench to be honest. At the same time, Gravenberch and also Dominik started too. Everyone performed well of course. The match was pretty boring as well.
Alan Shearer have spoken about the Liverpool midfield system:
The Hungarian midfielder was supposed to be playing as the person who plays the role of Wirtz. However, he was acting as the player who was teaming up with Mac Allister at midfield. Alan Shearer have talked about how actually Dominik made sure to go up and help the centre forwards of course. This is the reason why they were splitting up as well
🚨🔴 Alan Shearer believes that coaches who bench key players (like Salah) must achieve results to justify the decision ✅:
“When the manager does leave big players out, he has to get the results to justify it and at the minute they're not getting it.

Curtis Jones and Gravenberch were acting as a shield in front of the defence ofLiverpool of course. This is how Liverpool kept a cleansheet too. This tactic may not really work that well to be honest.
Author’s Opinion:
I think Liverpool won but it was not that good. It was expected that they score more goals and also at the same time, it was expected that they make sure to perform a lot better than before.
