    This is the way.

    There's no point moaning about individual players when are set up so poorly. Kerkez is left to fend for himself often against 2.

    The two midfielders are getting overrun. The 4 upfront are just stood in a line hoping for something.

    If this was utd, amorin would be getting pelters for setting up the same way over and over again with the same result. Slot seems is getting away with it, because the players are taking the flak

    No...I don't either, it's not the type of player Klopps bought.

    And I don't blame Slot for, after being sensible in year one and not changing much for now deciding to reset....but it's looking ... somehow too drastic at the mo.

    As you say... The players look confused ... And maybe the older players think he's made it clear they are on the way out etc...

    Dunno. But seems to be a serious disconnect from what he wants and what they are doing...and the likes of VVD and Konate look like they've forgotten even the basics... That's not on Slot.

    Mo was transitioning to supply more at end of Klopps reign... skits buys and set up make him almost pointless on the pitch.

    It’s really not on to have about 90 seconds for every throw, you wouldn’t let a team have that long if it wasn’t being launched towards the box, you’d be booked for time wasting.

    Rightly added more time on at the end at least

    Wirtz is fine as far from our goal as humanly possible. And I mean as far as possible. He's a non entity right now pressing.

    Salah is walking about not arsed and I mean that. Totally not arsed to press, to work or to do much of anything.

    Gakpo is far too deep when we could press but then if the ball goes up thst line is nowhere and wont put a foot in at all.

    Both full backs are being targeted aerially and failing.

    The midfield is two attackers who are vacating it and just going.

    That goal btw. The single solitary time bradley got froward and didn't back pass.

    Gakpo dived.

    Wirtz loses the ball with Ekitike and wirtz.basically never gets near damsgaard and watches him play the ball in for a goal.

    If there's a towel available Slot should throw it in.

    You could twist that and say Amorin would be allowed some leeway had he just won a PL title...

    Milos kerekz.

    We have actually seen it.

    Again. The thing is not allowed unless both sides agree to it and the referee can also book them for time wasting.

    So if lfc were asked and agreed to this its a stackable offense on its own.

    How long does the leeway last when the performances have been this poor for the first 10/11 games?

    I get that side of the argument but just feel that the coaching staff are where the problem lies and with the correct instructions we'd have a great season again with Salah getting a good goal haul and VVD looking like he could play on and the likes of Wirtz showing that there's a future. I believe that Slot and staff are not of the highest calibre and that you can see that on the pitch and that we have bought well and need to have a quick reality check before this gets away from us.

    We should be like City when we were chasing them (with a lot of success) with Arsenal chasing us, multiple leagues and other trophies with the base we have and the players bought in.

    Who is the question? Would Klopp come back is an obvious route but I didn't think he would.
