Liverpool FC - Talk /Gossip/Rumours 25/25

The criticism of Klopps lack of a plan B was widely discussed during his tenure. But the admiration of his plan A is why his time was magical.

This guys got no plan A and has firmly hoovered up any of the remaining Klopp fairy dust.

Klopp won one title in was it 9 seasons - there was no clamour to get him replaced as I recall, and we had bad runs under him from time to time.

Leeds defence was not excellent, they weren't asked any questions-they just sat deep and we didn't move them around at all.

You are using Dominic as an example there-and he's a good example. Like every other player, Dominic has gotten in the habit of stopping, turning back to his own goal and making a safe pass at the first sign of any defensive pressure. It's obviously coached into them, they all do it now.

That's not winning football, it's not losing football-it might be OK if you're a team of set piece specialists (like arsenal) who can turn the game into a set piece contest to won games, we're not that side.

You shouldn't need magic to beat some of these teams we're playing shít against.

Some consistent intensity and patterns that release our best players into space, or provide opportunities to our attackers should be possible without a goal from the gods.

Leeds are not good. And we're supposed to be the Champions.

in October 😂

I think your memory bank is doing you a favour there

We are Champions. Enjoy, relax, cop on.

how is the job too big for him when he won the league in his first season?

Is this a troll account?

I don't know what is going on during training, but something there needs to be addressed.

This has nothing to do with Jota.

Something has gone wrong and the longer this goes on the less likely it is that slot will be the one to recover it.

At times I feel if the shackles were removed and the team allowed to play football then things might improve, but I agree with a previous poster who said that slot seems to be managing this team now with an eye on keeping his job. There is a fear in them and someone needs to give them the belief - the talent is there.

It's been a mad season.

The job of reinvention.

He did this a number of times in the Dutch league. I believe it was highlighted by the media when we signed him.

Dutch league is very different of course so won’t be as easy.

One thing that is puzzling me is that last season it seemed as though Slot knew what to change at halftime to get the result. That doesn’t seem to be happening this year.

I find it hard to believe he has been found out. Just another weird thing about the season

Ah of course we are being entitled to think the league champions to beat a promoted team at home

Last season was an anomaly. Slot placing Gravenberch at 6 the form of VVD Konate Salah Macca and Dom plus the goal combo from Diaz and Gakpo won it. However as teams pushed up on Grav in the second half of the season the type of stuff we are seeing now became apparent and its been a drudgefest.

I'd like to know what Edwards and Hughes are doing to support Slot in this period. They heaped a people change management challenge onnhim way beyond his capabilities. He says all the rightnthings but gets that into execution is clearly lacking. The lack of intensity and physicality is pretty bad Dom and Wirtz pulled out of a few today. Macca looks like a 40 year old.

Can’t remember the last time we played such mind numbingly dull football. Must be either the fag end of the Rodgers years or Hodgson’s entire time in charge.

We might (with a bit of luck) sneak into 4th or 5th at the end of the season but I think it would be best for all to shake hands with the manager at the end of the season. And go our separate ways. Unless there is a significant improvement in the second half of the season on what we have been producing for the past 10 months. Right now it’s difficult to see that happening.
