A Luis Diaz brace and a classy Mohamed Salah finish sent Liverpool joint-top of the English Premier League (EPL) with a resounding 3-0 win over Manchester United.
Liverpool are now level on points with Manchester City at the top of the EPL table with three wins from three for Slot with the Reds.
Reacting to the weekend’s star match, Alabi wrote on his verified X (formerly known as Twitter) page:
“Not sure Ten Hag will last till Christmas at United.”
He added:
"My major problem with Ten Hag is that I have no idea what he is trying to do. Even with Sam Allardyce, Tony Pulis or anyone, you will see what they are trying to do even if you disagree. Counter attack, tiki taka, “police ball”… no idea."
