Decent appraisal of where last summer played its part - buying good players 'on paper' - rather than the right players... and how the massive effects of the Jota tragedy can not be discounted.
"And it all started with the summer transfer window...
...So number 1: the dilution of the title winning squad and the replacement of - Klopp players - with Slot players.. and by that I don't mean players signed by those managers - I mean in terms of the profile of player associated with the style - the brand of football and the dna of the 2 managers in question....
..With that summer transfer window - gone was the speed attitude - pace and heart of the likes of Lucho - Darwin - off course our beloved Diog 0 - Ben Doak - Elliott - Kostas - Quansah - kelleher....and also as has been seen throughout this season... and this can't be under estimated - the almost complete under utilisation of the likes of Robbo - Endo - Chiesa (yea I know he was signed by Slot but he has the energy profile of a Klopp player) and Rio Ngumoha... all players with heart an desire - and a will to win....
...In came Isak - Ekitike - Frimpong - Kerkez - Wirtz and Gakpo in a full time permanent role on the left rather than an occasional option there and Curtis Jones being given more game time too."
