Official Liverpool FC Thread II

This is a 5-alarm dumpster fire. Way way way too many shoot-first strikers. No continuity. No sharing the ball.

Unless Slot can convince Wirtz to embrace a Firmino type role, and join McCallister and Szob(im not gonna try and spell his name) in creating plays, and link-up...then this team is gonna continue to be a complete wreck.

Slot is in an impossible position. The obvious answer is to score more goals. And there are plenty of guys on the squad who want to do nothing but that, and who are good at that. But the answer lies in not focusing on the goal...but focusing on creating the chance....something Salah, Gakpo, and the rest of them are not interested in at all. Creating the chance means..."getting the ball to me" in their mind.

Alot of Me's on this team right now.

I think it's time to write this season off. This was a disaster....great idea on paper, but an absolute failure. I think the team needs to take a really good look at the idea that Salah is done. And if he's not "done" but does nothing but try and prove to the world that he's not done...to the detriment of the team...then yeah...he's done.

Our defense...I think Konate has checked out. I think VVD is no longer what he was either. This would be step #1 in revamping this whole thing. Get our defense sorted (might take a minute).

And then yeah....we need to get someone who makes the whole team better. Firmino...Tiago...McCallister.

I think this team will work something out...and will get out of this absolute sh** hole we've dug ourselves....but we're fatally flawed, and the sooner we recognize, and start fixing...the better next season can be.

We might never win again.

Saw a tweet, however, I cannot find it.

Stated the PL best defenses, in terms of least xG conceded, after these first three matches were Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Bournemouth. Just so happens Liverpool played all three and won, scoring a total of 8 goals.

Point is the team hasn't settled yet. Cannot wait to see what it looks like when it does.
