    Must say kinda funny skysports suddenly got a article about Klopp the headline title "It is possible I could manage liverpool again"

    Bit early for that ey, bit early for klopp SoS call

    I do reckon Wirtz and to a lesser extend Isak would already be smashing it under Klopp though, but he's not a idiot we wouldn't have lost diaz without replacing him either.

    Would you expect any less garbage from the media...? I wouldn't. Their entire purpose is to sensationalise everything. Steal the eyeballs and make their narrative the topic of every unthinking pleb out there. Invent calamity where none exists, suggest the best thing today is the bestest thing since sliced bread EVER....and that the thing that is unexpectedly struggling is set sail for imminent doom.

    The footballing gods seem to have a grudge against us this season and To say its not clicking is a understatement.
    Etikite and Chiesa must be wondering why they're not starting aswell.

    The thing with Ekitike and chiesa is on slot. How he looks at their contributions and doest give em more time is mad.

    The other side of it on the recruitment is on the upper management. They spent money, but in my opinion prioritised the wrong areas. The squad isn't balanced throughout. Last year's squad was better, imo.

    Exactly, this window was meant to make us better and complete the squad and get the players we needed in specific areas..... that went well we've even got worse in some areas, I.e LW and salah,VVD a season older... we need another attacker, now we need 2 cbs not just bloody one when konate goes, and a midfielder....

    a proper RB would've been nice too, I think kerkez will come good, when the team starts playing well... and as a team again.... at some point...still think robbo should be starting the games like against utd and top clubs, due to experience and confidence.... kerkez is very limited, as shown v utd experience... and nerves.....

    Chiesa has made a difference every time he's came on, even if it's just his energy it shows.
    There's plenty of people now saying Mo needs to be rotated. He's not in a position to question why he would be dropped.

    I would play Salah in midweek. if hes lax then. no chance for the Brentford game.. Id play Dom on the right..in front of either Frimpong or Bradley in the weekend game..
    Means you have to pick Jones in the middle or Wirtz. For all the purchases we have made we are still at least short one in the middle. I see theres some disquiet over Frimpong.. Hes had zero time to settle into a position...He started got injured then had a bit part since..

    Changing the system is simply dumb and the root of all the issues

    We had issues when we had 3 mids pressing and defending ahead of the back four, they made life far easier for them and easier to hold and play a line and defend using the angles they created for them

    We were more potent going forward with 433 as we almost always had 2 forwards up on either flank to be released in space

    It meant we played with greater intensity variation and cutting edge and consistent and persistent threat and our play was far more varied with a higher tempo and less predictable and easy to set up to defend against and counter on

    433 win us the league twice and what would have been four times but fir FAPGMOL

    A far greater man than I will ever be once coined the phrase “If it ain’t broken don’t fix it” Slot would do well to heed that greater man’s words

    I think it was Plato who said that 19. He put it on his Instagram once.
