Slot's players have shown a tendency to start matches slowly this season, having scored only three first-half goals away in the top-flight this campaign.The Reds only began to generate regular chances at Molineux after falling behind in the 78th minute, but they still suffered a loss despite Mohamed Salah's equalizer five minutes later as the match became significantly stretched.READ MORE: Alexander Isak injury update offers hint at likely Liverpool return dateREAD MORE: Every word from Arne Slot press conference ahead of WolvesSlot was prickly when questioned why Liverpool couldn't have adopted a more offensive approach from the outset."It's not the perfect word to use because it's not what I feel, but I'm almost annoyed if you say 'that approach' because the approach is no different," said Slot.
"The approach is we want to have the ball as much as possible and want to have it back as soon as possible."We always press high, and when we have the ball, we try to attack. In the final part, when we have the ball in the same position, it leads to chances that didn't happen in the first half or first 80 minutes.Slot is happy with Liverpool's transfer business(Image: Getty Images)"That's not down to approach, we don't approach the game by saying in the first 70 minutes we don't want the ball and we don't want to attack.
That's what you see in the game."We bring enough players forward, but that we're not able to create a lot of chances with all the ball possession is not something new to me. It's the model that we don't have 25 players over here.
