Taxi for Slot

[Kev0909]

He's not even talking about a season. Some fool pulled stats out of his ass about defeats in a calendar year and how Slot was the worst LFC manager ever and miller ran with it. Thought it was the perfect chance to discredit Slot.

Well counting last season is a bit pathetic considering we won the league with ease, of course we dropped off, not to mention as said x1000 times on this forum it was "Klopps team" so all "Tired and exhausted" towards the end

More concerned about the number of goals conceded since about March last year than anything. We can’t defend at all at the minute. Trying to sort this has lead to a lot of safe passing. Confidence definitely a big issue right now.

Correct. We downed tools for 4 games after winning the league last season. Some idiot decided to pull that together, fabricate it a bit and then post it to discredit Slot. Miller and co think this is a great idea.

ffs trent!

But yeah I agree, doesn't help VVD is getting on & no no6 & Konate is well konate, it's not like we can blame salah for not having to defend now either, he's not currently here.

I think midfield is currently a bit of a problem, it's not the same i'm not sure why tiredness? Off-form? need a new body- well we've needed a no6 for ages... but when teams can just run through the midfield, it's obviously going to effect us at the back too.

Missing Diaz and to a lot less extent Nunez workrate from the front also but I think ekitike has that nailed on anyway when fit... all has a knock on effect.

We really miss Trent’s passing too. I know stating the obvious but that box midfield with him stepping in really allowed us to open up teams plus the long passing to release Diaz and Salah too. He’s a much bigger loss than has been analysed i reckon.

Exactly. Some of us might have called it before he left Not many mind.

But yes, TAA is a huge loss. Our set pieces have gone to crap. Probably accounts for some of the drop off in Salah's form too.

Oh 💯 it’s impacting Salah. Can’t see how it wouldn’t. It’s allowing teams to be more carefree about pressing us too because he’s not there to open them up with a long pass if they get caught in possession with too many players high up the pitch. It’s multifaceted how we miss him.

Yep to think some people was happy he was going and bradley was better apparently.....

Glad I got that one right at least, and actually defended the boy that was with us since he was 6 years old.. wish he stayed his real move isn't exactly working out a dream at the moment.

The lack of the press and counter press and pressure on the ball is part of it

Virgil and Konate can’t use their skills at defending high one v one without pressure on the ball

The entire back four can’t see what’s coming as easy and clearly or stop it before it’s coming with a midfield 2 instead of a 3 without the strong coordinated press from the front and the FBs pressing onto their men

What I’m describing is how we played the last 10 years

The formation and style of play is what has changed everything and why we’re leaking goals

Players backing off and sitting off instead of taking aggressive front foot positions

Players letting crosses come in easy (Kerkez) I see the defender the player gets in front of or off the back off always get blamed, if you allow players in this league the time to look up and pick the perfect cross with no pressure on the ball, that’s not in the defender trying to pick up for me as the ball can be indefensible

I reckon he'll be a success there eventualy. It took Owen, Beckham, McManaman and others time to settle in Madrid. He might start to kick on next season.
