Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 25/26 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

That's also the first time a team has done the double over us since January 2016.

Forest, Palace, United, Chelsea, and Brentford all still have a chance to do it too.

I don't believe the players aren't playing for Slot.

They're being asked to play a style they're not suited to. Safe, tepid recycling of possession out to the wings is simply not the formula for this Liverpool team.

When we up the tempo, play passes through the lines quickly, and try to get in behind, we look bloody dangerous. But it never lasts.

Does anyone honestly on here hold the belief that, under slot, we will go from where we are to back competing at the top?

Genuine question.

If so, why.

We're back to that eh. Salah is class, not the issue with the team.

Deserved far more out of that, terrible decisions did for us. Salah should have had a peno (not different to the pull Dom was sent off for). Definite red for Guehi and not a penalty against Allison, ball hoofed wide never going to get it and a gunuine attempted to save it with an attacker running into him.

Some good performances across the field, I’m more positive than negative after that. Salah much better also, thought he did well overall.

Its reminds me of when trossard blew Writz off the ball and the penalty wasn't given . Seen as a coming together where writz didn't have control of the ball despite a clear barge. When goalkeepers make the same challenge unfortunately it nearly always a foul though, it's was completely unnecessary from Ali though as the Shot wasn't on

I'd love to see the parallel universe result where Slot is not too slow to make a change after going 1-0 up and bringing on Jones for either Gakpo or Wirtz or Salah at 1-0 up and trying to control the game to see it out.

But then again, Slot was fairly damning of Jones in the pre match press conference and basically said Jones is only a squad player and has to wait for injuries in midfield until he can start games. It was weird man management to say the least, and Slot probably doesn't trust Jones enough to play.

plenty more ups and downs in this season id still very confident we get 4th place at least i tune in to that craig lad on you tube what a nut job could anyone recommend some one half normal that covers the matches please ??

Hammering Newcastle and very unlucky to not get a result today? What trajectory is that then?

I think we will be in the top 4 never mind 5th - long way to go and we are improving week on week.

I didn't see the first half so can't comment on that but I thought we were the better team in the second half. Once Ekitike missed that header though I just knew we'd lose.

Newcastle are in an even worse state than we are. Hammering them isn't a barometer of anything nor really worth anything more in the grand scheme of things than the 3 points earned.

We have been awful since April and the issues were apparent even before then despite our league win.
The lack of game management, the consistently poor tactical approach and the inability to close our games out or maintain control when in the lead?

Are all coaching issues and the trajectory doesn't bode well.
