Match Thread: Liverpool v Man Utd

[Jenson78]

Slot doesn't rate chiesa. Or has an issue with him.

Ekitike should be the starting cf based on performances. But isak was bought as the main guy. I'd say they expect Ekitike to start how he has. But I agree, he shoukd be starting right now. Ease isak into the team.

Slot needs to show something in the next few weeks to turn this around.

Chiesa Ekitike Frimpong should be playing more. Dominic is the only player who can hold his head up this season PERIOD. The poor bastard has nearly played in every position.

Putting him right back again though? Szobo will never be another trent in that position.

Inform player should be playing the and rest should have to earn their place. For me Ekitike and chiesa deserve to be starting.

[Red October]

The bright spots from the new guys have been frimpong, ekitike and chiesa who is almost like a new signing. Wirtz has shown little bits and pieces. Of the established players: Ali, VVD (just), Grav, szobo, at a push gakpo.

[Kev0909]

Gakpo was our biggest goal threat today, hit the woodwork three times (once from a deflected cross) and missed a header from about 4 yards.
Fine margins maybe but he really should have scored at least two of those and probably three, enough to have won the game.

At least he was getting in position for getting chances. Gawd knows where Isak was most of the time. Forgot he was on the pitch in the second half

Probably on the left

Somethings not right, we all know isak is a top player...... it's the tacttics it's a shambles

[Steveo]

Mo missed one from even closer in.

And as it has been repeatedly mentioned - for weeks - he should be benched.

Gakpo might score some goals but they are the goals you have to score. When you look at how much he blunts our attack and allows the opposition to spring counters - though slow ponderous, easy to read play - you can surely see the bigger picture…?

He is out there because the only rival for his spot is a kid. A kid we took last year from Chelsea’s academy FFS!

Nobody can tell me Slot was involved in Diaz being sold without a replacement.

It's a joke ain't it... when you think of it next summer we need another rebuild, it's great

X2 cbs LW,RW, NO6

great window.

[RedMagic]

Given what we've served up thus far and Slot's decision both before and during games, it's entirely feasible that Slot could have been involved in the decisions that were made over Diaz and any potential replacement.

[Kev0909]

Why is kerkez still starting ahead of robbo? especially in the big games I know robbo aint perfect but cmon he was a top player for years for us and has the experience and more solid surely.

Why is Salah starting over Chiesa?

Why is isak starting ?

Farce, all of it, how was my mate bradley today at least ?

Never would I ever thought I was worried and right about losing to utd at fucking home after last season , what a fucking shambles, sack the transfer staff- sack the set -piece staff too, get someone who has a clue, and if we do finish outside top 4 after how much we spend, like it or not you think Slot will be safe after spending that amount? this is FSG we're on about, SPENDING MONEY, doesn't happen that often. and questions will have to be asked of him ,but other heads need to roll first.

turning the club into a sham.

Why is slot sayng isak is ready to start firing???? some things don't need to be said, because look at that shit, comes to somethign when gakpo is now are most dangerous attacker, S O fucking S

Why've we signed frimpong if we're not playing him at RB why didn't we sign a actual RB who'd play at RB ????

[justme]

we need to get back to being more patient in our play.. Maybe dropping Salah and having a natural outside right player on the right will help Isak more..he can get in the box, rather than expected to play off the ball. The wide areas are the key in low block teams.. we are trying to play through 2 block buses at times. we need to turn the opposition sideways rather than trying to play through them front on.

I really don’t think so see below:


‘June 2024’

Liverpool has implemented a new structure with a new head coach, Arne Slot, who will focus solely on coaching, and a sporting director, Richard Hughes, who will handle recruitment and other football department responsibilities. This move away from the traditional "manager" role, which combined both coaching and management, is intended to provide the head coach with more support for modern football complexities. The club has already appointed Slot as head coach following the departure of Jürgen Klopp
