Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 24/25 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

According to FBREF he's left footed... Cover on the right perhaps?

Scratch that, a quick look on YouTube and he's very much right footed!

And so bench who instead? That's the point

Yet he's by far and away the best of the midfield trio

Not really, brilliant at reading interceptions, and keeps everything ticking over with his passing. He's the brain of our CM. You need someone like that behind Wirtz I think. And while not quite the pure athlete that Grav and Szobo are, he's still no slouch.

I think Grav and Mac are nailed on first choice starters in the two deeper positions.

I think he'd still be alright in a 2 - but I know what you mean. There's no part of that existing trio that it feels like we need to replace or could really do without, but Wirtz has to go somewhere, and with Ekitike coming in it looks like it's as a number 10. Who knows, maybe it's a case of going back to Klopp's best team, where at least one of the midfield trio rotated out literally every single match to keep them all fresh.

Yes, I agree. I love him as a player.

Just trying to get my head around how Liverpool will line up next season and wondering if he might be rotated out a little more. It's hard to see where Jones fits into all this too.

The last number of games before the end of the season gone might give a better insight in to what way we'll set up this year. (at least at the back)

We seen Grav drop deep to form a back 3 when out of posession and we were pushed higher up.

As for how that translates this year i think that much will be the same, it's just every other position is up for grabs.

For me the only guaranteed starters are Ali, Kerkez, VVD, Ibou, Grav, Mac and Salah, i've no idea how the rest will line up.

I don't think we'll start our strongest 11 until the charity shield either, so we might have to keep guessing for another 3 weeks yet.

No doubt about it Slot has a plan, this time last year i watched a few interviews from players that played under Slot in the past, and the jist of it was 'if we lose a game of football it will never be because we were not properly prepared.'

Slot is fanatical about instructing his team to play a certain way and is happy to tailor it to the opposition game by game and will give specific instructions to each player individually. There is zero cutting corners with Slot.

Are we writing off a lad who signed up yet? 😂

He could be great lads. Tbf to our transfer management in recent years, we hit more than we miss.

The question is what is the best eleven?
