Tbf, only Szobbo deserves to keep his place on last night's showing, and that includes Mammory and Gravy, especially in that 2nd half. Not practical to bench the whole team, though, or Virgil would be out as well.
Grav needs to sit in front of the defence like last season. Mac needs to get his energy back. Konate can **** off, clear he's no desire to stay and decided not to bother, should have been sold imo Salah is done, one last hurrah last season. Sell in the summer. Frimpong is a RB or not, if not Bradly can't be relied upon as everyone knew he's made of paper straws. Front three should be Wirtz, Isak, Ekitike. The midfield three should stop trying to be forwards and protect the defence, if they did that the fullbacks wouldn't be out of position all the time as they would have cover when they go forward.
We've got Calvin Ramsey. Not much first team experience, granted, but he's a fully fit, available RB. As an aside, after winning our first five games, some people were saying 'Trent who?' Now it's 'Trent where are you'. (I'm not calling for him back, to be clear. )
Another London Club on Sunday, for more than 70 years Liverpool have not experienced any thing like this 'form' under Arne Slot. Suddenly, Arne Slot's job is not that safe. West Ham game is now a must win game. West Ham are getting their acts together, they have won three games in a row. and Liverpool are now weeping boys.

not sure i can bear to watch but i expect i will suffer with the rest of you . Arne please change something / anything
I genuinely think you are looking too deep But that’s what this forum is for Those players are good players We miss workhorses As much as he was derided a Hendo A Kuyt A Diaz A Nunez we shall see
Not sure It’s hilarious how the narratives change For the past five years non Liverpool fans have said how **** Trent is While Liverpool fans claim he was world Class Suddenly Trent Leaves and Liverpool were a one man team I think it’s a number of things Missing Trent is irrelevant as he didn’t want to stay - we have the same issue with Konate Madrid are a much bigger club I cannot blame anyone for wanting to go I don’t think it’s Trent we miss I think our balance is wrong For years people have been saying Trent can’t defend but the gaffa was happy with it I think Salah is the key on a lot of levels I would have gotten rid of Salah but I would have gotten rid of Gerrard so I know I think differently I also think the Jota thing had a massive effect on the group Should have done - probably not but - i think it’s had an effect I don’t buy into the narrative being pushed about the money spent because of the amount we sold Nunez and Diaz were very hard working players and helped to cover for Salah The players are all there - they just need a new system Trying to show horn them in isn’t working imho Start by solidifying the defence and work from there for me
We missed him for 14 games last season with his injuries. He wasn't selected for several others, even when 'fit'. Nobody denies Trent was a generational talent, but the current Liverpool side seems dead on its feet and lacking in stamina and drive - two things that Trent rarely gave you from about 2020 onwards, even on the minority of times when he was really fit.
Ali should be ok for this one.....Wirtz the same....Ekitike nothing serious......even Jomez is nearly there.
The VVD penalty the other night is a damning summation of where this team, with the exception of Szoboszlai and Ekitike, is at the moment.
