My understanding of the formation is that one of the two has more freedom to get involved further forward and with no actual specialist it'll leave McAllister further back when he's very effective around the box. I've not seen any pre season games though so will have to wait until Saturday.
Safe journey to those who are travelling to sunny Suffolk tomorrow. If you haven’t been to Portman Road before you’ll find a traditional old school stadium and not one of these soulless LEGO brick stadia! The atmosphere will be off the scale! For what it’s worth I think you’ll win the league this season.
Yup. Same as Diaz and gakpo are lw and the same way szobo and Elliott are 10s. He is very much a more positions based coach. Trent better be ready for it or be sold. If he was on a free to real there will be hell to pay.
The slight concern there is the lack of pace out wide, often solved by klopp letting Nunez drift to the left, although Slot is supposedly pretty fluid with his attacking play, so we'll see how that plays out.
Yeah I'd live with vvd And salah doing their whatever if they think they can make coin and retire. If they are thinking that way then their levels of motivation won't drag us where we need to be will they? Trent on the other hand is a 100mil asset potential to us and being purely mercenary if he wants to go he should be sold
When players like Salah and VVD get to that age we've had our money out of them and the success but like you say it's different with a home grown talent like that.
Yeah, they still have some value but it's not tear hair out if they go for nothing. Yeah someone might say salah should.go for 100mil but I'd rather a good season put of gim
Hopefully Slot can beat a record on his first game and become the only Liverpool manager in the 21st century to win his first game in charge.
Worth a note that Gravenberch also played in a deeper role at Ajax when he started out in that more double pivot so not totally alien for him to play that role.
Absolutely. Same as windy playing the role for psv and Newcastle thinking he was a left winger. Dutch style and English style doesn't mix Not too many managers have succeeded mind.
He said early on in the pre-season games he couldn't play with a number 9 because Nunez hadn't returned (Jota wasn't back from injury either) so he clearly sees him in that role.
