The Liverpool boss said: "Their loss against Frankfurt, I have watched that game and for me they were very, very, very unlucky in that game."The chances they gave away were only small and it was either the quality of Frankfurt or little bit of bad luck for Galatasaray that they conceded five because if they play the same game again, they will never, ever, ever concede five goals again in that same game because they played much better than the 5-1 showed."That's also what you see now at the beginning of the season here in Turkey, seven wins and only conceded two if I am correct, scored a lot of goals, so a very, very good team and a very good manager who has been so successful over here as a player."Content cannot be displayed without consentSlot added: "So they know what it takes to win the league and know what it takes to win a game of football, so we have to be prepared for that."On Galatasaray's threat from set-pieces, Slot added: "I think you've already given the answer: we've shown we are a team that can defend set-pieces really well. More and more in football you see it becomes more and more a set-piece game."I know set-pieces are a part of football, but I watched Brentford [versus] Man United on the way up to Palace.

I saw 25 minutes of that game and I think it was 20 minutes of long throw-ins, set-pieces, long throw-ins, set-pieces, corner kick, goal-kick... a goal-kick is not a set-piece, by the way!"This is the style of football you see more and more mainly in the Premier League, in my opinion. This is something everybody likes about the Premier League, but in Europe this is definitely a bit different."We knew Galatasaray were also strong on set-pieces, but I can tell you we were a force on set-pieces last season and we won our last Champions League game because of a set-piece [when] we scored the 3-2 with Virgil [van Dijk].

Back in the days when I was still playing, we only talked about football and there was not even a set-piece, let alone a set-piece meeting."Nowadays, set-piece meetings take just as long as the tactical meeting or the preparation for the game football-wise. That tells you the importance we give to set-pieces and I think every team around Europe gives to set-pieces."
