Liverpool vs AC Milan
Football is a game of opinions—and let’s be honest, it’s impossible to please everyone. Remember how **Tinker Renier** used to switch up his tactics constantly? Fans criticized him for changing too much. Now, **Slaugh** is sticking to his plan, not making many changes... and guess what? He’s getting criticized for _not_ changing enough.
It feels like whatever you do, it’s never enough. Win, and everything’s fine. But the moment you launch into a rough patch or even make a slightly questionable decision, the criticism starts rolling in. Football is unforgiving like that.
And yet, amid all this noise, let’s not forget something important—**Slaugh’s team is playing well**. Sometimes, that's just it. You can argue tactics and lineups all day, but if the performance is solid, you can’t ask for much more. For now, Slaugh is getting the best out of his players.
