Well that was an unwanted surprise! Losing on the weekend and in truth probably deserved. Things just looked totally disjointed and clearly several players had off days. That is not uncommon following International breaks but Slot dealt with it well in the post-match and certainly no cause for panic.
The key is to bounce back straight away and a trip to Italy may be the perfect way. Virgil van Dijk is confident.
“We have a very good group that really understood that Saturday was unacceptable and are disappointed, admitted the skipper. “We all know everyone can do better and we have to show that on Tuesday. That is what we focus on. We have been through losses and difficult moments together. We will stay calm.”
Historic rivals duel it out at San Siro
This game will see real European history on display in Italy on Tuesday night. We travel to take on 7 time winners Milan in the new-look Champions League. This is the first in a minimum of 8 games for the boys and I genuinely think we will get off to a very positive start.
The hosts haven’t started their campaign particularly well in Serie A with just 1 win from their first 4 games. That win did come in their last match on the weekend though, it was a 4-0 victory over Venezia. For context they are a newly promoted side to the Italian top-flight and have 3 losses and 1 draw to show from their opening games.
That difference in quality should be shown here and there could be starts for Gakpo and Darwin who will obviously be chomping at the bit to try and win a starting position in the team. I fully expect a response from the team and an emphatic win wouldn’t overly surprise me.

Handicap bet is a value proposition
At Trusdice.win we have been given an opportunity that rates very attractive. Slightly risky but with potentially large reward. By taking Liverpool to keep a clean sheet we get paid at odds of 3.1 instead of 1.90 for the win. Given we’ve conceded one goal in four Premier League games and that was a fantastic individual effort rather than getting cut open, I can definitely see us shutting out a struggling Milan side.
