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

Villa losing brings them back into touching distance and they look to be in free fall a bit. Can we catch them is a different story though.

Chelsea winning is probably the better result for us, as they have a higher likelihood of doing well to the end of the season. Even if we continue with this mediocre performances we only really have to get slightly better results than Villa to secure 5th.

Well dropping him was the first solution to try and that really blew up. As I said, I don't believe it's his age that is the problem, it's his mentality and bringing him inside sounds nice, but when there are only scraps to be had do we really want him to be the one gobbling them up.

Yeah, I've lost patience with Slot but I'm not blaming him fo Salah.

Mo has lost pace, strength, finishing and passing all in one season.

I hear what Rebel is saying but there's been ample chances for him to score and his accuracy is still way off.

Salah shot Volume: He is averaging just 2.0 shots per 90 minutes, down from 3.4 last season. This is the lowest average of his entire Liverpool career.

​xG per 90 has plummeted from 0.63 to 0.32. Effectively, the system is providing him with half the quality of chances he had a year ago. Last season, Trent played 147 line-breaking passes to Salah (the most of any duo in the league). no other duo in the division managed more than 108.

It calls into question Slot and his coaching team and the data guys

Brilliant result, United losing to ten men, conceding two goals after Newcastle went down, Fernandes getting stroppy and Carrick like a deer in the headlights. Should put a bit of a halt to their gallop. 3 pts between 3rd and 6th sets things up nicely again.

Lovely.

Might be down to 6th, but only 3 points off 3rd. We’re better than United, Villa, Chelsea. We certainly won’t win our last 9 league games, but we’ll finish 3rd

Chelsea are poor, United are crap, villa are muck and we are mediocre. The run in will be like trench warfare.

Or... not screwing up yesterday and we'd be joint 3rd. We can't keep depending on everyone else to be as bad as us to secure top 5.

Eh were going to have to because we are crap

100%

As patchy as our form is, Villa's is falling off a cliff.

The thing that really gets me with Slot is that he's constantly giving out about factors that he should have complete control over as the manager. Such as the minutes players were playing, as if he isn't the one picking them and refusing to use the squad. The long ball tactics of other teams, buying a new back up keeper for X million and not using him. The list goes on and on.

Maybe this is all just the public stuff he says but with the team he's different but this season and particularly the last few weeks really feels like everyone knows he's gone in the summer. Theres almost an acceptance that we're **** right now and not much can be done about it.

Salah is a huge problem and needs to go in the summer as harsh as that sounds but he's not the only one. Allison is not the keeper he even was last season (it really looks a mistake letting Kelleher go and I know he wanted first team football blah blah but I think he's be getting plenty of it this season). I'm not saying we bin him but it's a fact.

Grav and Mac are not having a good seasons and the midfield just doesn't work as a unit. I've said this before but I think Grav surprised the whole league for the first half last season but now teams know how to play again him and the unit just don't work that well together for some reason. Macs form a huge part of this too.

I think Slot goes in the summer, I can't see him getting sacked mid-season unless things really nose dive but he just is not instilling any confidence to the team or public as far as I can see. The team are playing a lot less than the sum of their parts and that's never a good place for a manager to be in.

To be fair, new manger bounce aside Uniteds worst this season has been lower than ours, remember Grimsby for gods sake, and Chelsea have had some pretty low points too. Villas worst is maybe still to come.

It’s more like 4 teams falling over each other to claim one spot at this rate, 6th!
