Match Thread: Liverpool v PSG

[jozza800]

He was so utterly gash tonight.
I don't know what's happened to him this season, but his drop-off in form like a few other players in the team has been devastating to our ability to even put up a semblance of a title defence.

Yet he keeps his place.

If Enrique rocks up in Manchester we are all screwed

A nightmare situation for next season is Enrique ends up with the Mancs, Xabi ends up in City to replace Pep, while Chelsea grab Iraola while we sit on our fat thumbs again and decide to give Slot another transfer window and another chance.

City, definitely. United still don't have the players.

Yet he keeps his place.

.....and Rio struggles to get a start after an inspirational MOTM performance last game.

Slout now

But he would be able to attract them jozza

Possibly.

I mean they will get it right eventually.

[Insidious]

Again though, he's supposed to be the one sitting...

He is - but when you are 2-0 down on aggregate and running out of time you do tend to start pushing up - I think that was more a game context thing than a lack of discipline thing tonight.

[Insidious]

He's been wretched all season. But to be fair to him, nobody is going to be able to cover the ground that's required of the way Slot sets us up.

You watch City, they love to push players forward but always have that anchor. A Rodri, a Fernandiho etc.

People saying we can't play Wirtz in midfield. City used to play with De Bruyne, Silva (s) and Foden, all slight and tricky players but they always have an anchor.

Slot doesn't want to use one this season. Week after week

It should be really obvious, yet he either does not see it or blindly continue to play the same way. That's just bad management.

Yeah I'd love a Mascherano-type and despite the obvious flaws I would have trusted Endo more when he was available.

There's also much too big a gap more often than not between our half-baked press and the players sitting deeper.

Lots of little problems to tweak - and some big ones.

[Lenouis]

I’m sure I just heard Slot say that HE will not have any transfer budget other than player sales.

[RedMagic]

I’m sure I just heard Slot say that HE will not have any transfer budget other than player sales.

If that's the overall plan irrespective of who is in charge next season, unless Klopp is coming back we can immediately write off seriously competing for trophies next season, and we could yet again struggle to qualify for the following season's CL.

[miller0863]

We spent about £250m net while losing Trent and Jota without a fee coming in, so in affect about £125m net. With Salah and Robbo leaving this summer again without a fee, our squad is looking decidedly mid table

[jozza800]

I’m sure I just heard Slot say that HE will not have any transfer budget other than player sales.

This can't be correct. Surely.

[justme]

If the rumours are true of Joe Gomez and a hamstring. That probably means hes finished with us. he wont be back before the end of the season and whats the point in keeping someone who plays 7/8 games a season?

[miller0863]

Is that 7 or 8 games or 7/8ths of a game?
