Last season, we are up and running, we only bought one player. This season, we lost two or more players, one tragically, and we we bought so many payers to upgrade. Things are not going according to plan. Are we under transition?. Your thoughts..............
Nah, we are just getting going. Its slot who needs to get his head sorted as theres a lot of simple things he should get working on himself. If you get the forward power flit and flying we can compensate for conceding lots of goals. The difference right now is we have not scored enough to hide the teams able to walk through us.
It's an interesting question. I watched a video the other day of an amateur football analyst (can't remember the name) saying that Slot not only inherited Klopp's team but the team's mentality - mentality monsters - as they were dubbed. Meaning that not only does Slot have to replace the players, which he has done, but he has to find a way to instill that 'never give up' mentality. All the skill in the world won't help unless you have the right attitude to go with it. I'm not saying for one minute that the new players don't have the fighting spirit but honestly, it hasn't been on show ..... so far. So it is a transition season imo, as we move on from the original mentality monsters hoping that we can build even stronger mentality monsters.
It's almost like we're having the transition this season, that everyone was expecting last season. I think we'll be fine. We might not win the league this season and I'm ok with that, but we'll still be competitive.. We brought in a load of players in the 20-24 years old range, we bought them for the next 4,5,6 years not just this year.
