Jurgen's at the wheel
Tra lah la la la la la la la la lah Jurgen's at the wheel at the wheel Jurgen's at the wheel
Where to start, sacrificed a system and ideology that won the Champions League and Premier League for a fantasy ideal of his favourite players and it simply isn't working or evolving into anything of substance
Threw loads of absolutely brilliant, world class automation built up over 5 seasons out of the window on his personal whims, something I have warned extensively about since the 19-20 season
No runs in behind for our limited players that can to even try and release
We've completely lost our ability on the counter and to be devastatingly direct, completely lost it
The pressing and counter pressing is NOWHERE near it's best ever levels and nowhere near good enough and with that we have lost our once phenomenal ability at winning second balls also
Elliot keeps playing, looks neat and tidy and busy enough, moves the ball on quickly, but he just doesn't have the intelligence or positional sense to provide the positioning and movement and constant support through that in the triangles for Mo and Trent to flourish as they did when that was provided for them or the support for Trent defensively
Persists with the hopeless Gomez as an option at CB when he had a great offer for him this summer and an opportunity to replace him, Fabinho as a DM, even bringing him on tonight when we need a goal when he's shite with the ball for fucks sake, Thiago who has simply never done it in a Liverpool shirt however sexy some of what he does that amounts to nothing looks and whose attempts at playmaking and constant overplaying are THE primary contributory factor to the loss of our ability to be direct and on the counter
It's a complete mess for me, and not a knee jerk, I've been saying all of what is said here since 18-19, after the Champions League win the job was simple, keep what works, never throw your greatest strengths out of the window above all else, make sure to retain those devastating qualities, bring in another top quality forward, bring in midfielders who first and foremost can do exactly what the current ones were doing for the team, identifying ones with suitable fitness records and better passing to release our forwards and full backs in behind, in combination or in isolation, it wasn't rocket science
An unholy fuck up has been made of the proposed/alleged evolution, which has transpired to be a grotesque devolution of everything that once made us the best side in Europe and the Premier League with nothing replacing it and an incredible amount of throwing out of the baby with the bath water
An awful lot needs to be worked at and on, as this is just a mess, there's no automation or patterns in our play anymore, even the Trent Hendo Mo combo that re-emerged last season has been ditched from the off this season and that's why Mo isn't getting into games or being released, and we no longer have the players through poor midfield recruitment to go back to basics, we haven't signed a great midfielder who has been the right fit and what we need since Gini
