After Pat Nevin suggested teams "do not win leagues" playing the way Liverpool have so far this season, we asked if you agreed or disagreed with the former Scotland international.

Here are some of your comments:

Danny: I agree with Pat, and I thought Liverpool not going for the jugular as Arsenal became weaker throughout the game, particularly Endo coming on to sure up a draw, was telling. This isn't the mindset of a title-chasing team of elite winners.

Daz: Absolutely ridiculous from Pat. You only have to look at Mourinho's Chelsea who were far more pragmatic than Slot's Liverpool and won the league. This is a tough run of fixtures so some results will need to be ground out.

Matt: We've tried heavy metal football and while it brought some amazing success, like the Champions League and the Premier League, it also resulted in many player injuries which cost us having further success. This tactical approach was not sustainable with the size and calibre of squad we have, so I'm all for a more measured pragmatic approach from Slot.

Ben: Pat has a point, but I'm not sure this is the Manchester City of the past few seasons. Without Rodri they have shown cracks, so it may mean there is hope for Liverpool. And hopefully Slot's new tactics will reduce our injuries, too.
