We got some energy out of the moments we could press them, which in the last four or five games we played we were not able to press the opponent because the ball wasn't on the ground, it was in the air."Nevertheless, Johnson reckons Slot's observations about tactical approaches should have remained behind closed doors.READ MORE: Arne Slot learns £75m asking price for Liverpool target as wonderkid changed transfer plansREAD MORE: Alan Shearer delivers Alexander Isak Newcastle dig amid Liverpool 'top man' dilemmaSpeaking to aceodds.com, Johnson said: "Every team has their own style and you play with what you've got.



Everyone wants to play football, in terms of what we call tiki-taka, which is great."But if you're susceptible against long balls, people are going to see that and try to exploit it. So if that means pointing the finger at them every now and then, if he's right, then it's okay."Of course you still need to make sure it's a happy camp and make sure it's constructive what you're actually trying to do rather than dissecting yourself from the team."I'm sure he's doing what he thinks is right, but in my experience it's always better to have those battles inside the camp and keep it in the dressing room."Liverpool are off to Brentford later today, hoping to halt their streak of three consecutive Premier League losses and close the gap on top-placed Arsenal.
