    I still think it was a mistake not to sack him 3 months ago to stop the rot and get quickly back on track

    Ekitike can play a 433 with the two wide forwards Diaz could too and be our most potent wide forward

    They’ve just fucked it royally up, the recruitment guys aren’t proper football people, they got sold by Slot on his supposed ‘master plan’ involving a change of formation from a blueprint the majority of players and crucially the team played far better in and were highly successful for 10 years in

    Thry all want sacking
    You do realise the old way of pressing from the front is old now?
    Most teams press from the front, which is why Klopp had to resort to a high line in 21/22 when “experts” like yourself were attacking him for doing so even though the defence was managing.

    Football is a chess game, always evolving. Teams now use a low mid block press and Slot is trying to copy the PSG model. That’s not an overnight fix. More numbers in the press in the low mid block, quick outball release with one pacey full back/winger/wingback. Pingpong being injured has hampered that. Wirtz is key to this system but it’s taking longer than hoped.

    Buying guys like Ekitike and Isac isn’t some “haphazard” transfer policy like you’re going on about. It’s by design. We’re moving away from the old way because even garbage managers like Dyche are doing it. It’s old now. Klopp did it. It’s OLD!

    You make out you’re some football guru but the amount knee jerk ignorant shite you post is embarrassing. Just stick to the pom poms and “Can I get an L…I…” during games. Know your limits son.

    We always pressed from the front you clown 🤡

    lower level team managers press but you obviously don’t appreciate the difference in it

    Or that is you’re playing against a low block you need width, you have to set up to press and counter press you can’t just have numbers looking to be in space for nothing 5 yard passes like Slot has because if you thrn lose it thry break in numbers

    Count how many times we let opposition side transition to a guy right in the centre of midfield against all sides because of the imbalance of players picking up or standing in space to try and make Wirtz look good

    Semenyo will be a Man City player next month.

    Guehi will go to Man Utd on a free end of season. They’ll lather him with cash to get him.

    Really hope not, But right now we don’t look like a club that is going to attract the right candidates.

    Smelt it this summer. Panic. Won title with Klopp’s team. The charisma gone. No more running through brick walls…

    Quick!!! last chance to grab some quality while the brand is high…and before Toto moves the curtain.. Went all in for targets not necessarily in areas needed and missed the one we did.Feels like we are back to Liverpool FC of 2015… despite being champions.

    And that is some fall.

    My only hope is that my paranoia is skewing what I see.

    We won the league last season playing 4231.

    For the most part we've played 4231 this season.
