Alisson
Trent Matip Gomez Robertson
Keita Bajcetic Thiago
Salah Gakpo Nunez
Surprised Bajcetic starts again, he gives the ball away too often for me and doesn't keep it all that well in tight areas, better than Fab in his positioning, but still prone to an error and getting caught out of position but nothing like as frequently as Fab and another like Fab who doesn't contribute to the press and counter press but sits just off it
On the subject of the forwards clicking, let hope the service they thrive on is there for them, direct balls to enable to make them to make runs in behind, these forwards are NOT tappy crappy players and they never will be, they are direct, runs in behind, quick, mobile players that need releasing and need the right service
That ball Trent loves to play, long diagonal to LFWD in behind or to win ahead of the defender, backed up by Robbo to win any second ball needs to be back on, we've not had the runners for him to play it at all this season due to Jurgen's tinkering
It still makes the mind absolutely boggle, 6 seasons of playing a system, adding the right players to try and make it work better, winning a Champions League and League title then after the League title win, bin it all off and try and change how you play entirely, it's was, is and always will be an absolute nonsense and will always rest on Klopp and his coaching staffs shoulders, just absolute lunacy
Of course we had games we struggled to break sides down, we're Liverpool, playing in an anyone but Liverpool culture and were looking to win the league for the first time in 30 years, every fucking team we played played to higher levels and many weren;t even trying to score, they were just looking to stop us scoring and take points off us to help City as teams did to Newcastle under Keegan
ALL TEAMS have games they struggle to break the opposition down, City have lots every season and had lots that season, since the complete ruination, throwing an entire maternity unit out with the bath water and loss of all automation we're not even creating chances as we always did in all games
Needs the runs in behind and the right service and support for them, otherwise we may as well pack up and go the fuck home and were not and never will be the side a few people listening to idealist morons guilty of believing their own hype and of forgetting what they and our players are good at have tried desperately unsuccessfully to turn us into
I've seen the expression 'like building a plane while it's in flight' not it is fucking not, it's actually been like taking the wings and engine of a plane in flight, simply moronic and clueless and it is all on Jurgen and he needs to remember what he's good at and get back to it
