I said earlier in the season that I was puzzled by the change in tactics to last season. At the beginning of the last one we all noted how measured we were compared with the rather more cavalier attitude under Klopp - and it brought us the title. This season it all seems to have gone out of the window and we're so gung-ho at times we're making Klopp look more like Mourinho in comparison.
It's a strange transformation, and so far isn't coming off at all.

On a side note, it'll be interesting to see if Arsenal can manage to bottle it again, given that we've been so bad and City are still not back up to speed.

We've only really gone gung ho when we've been behind (usually early) and tbh, it worked initially as we got a goal or two back (e.g. Palace, Chelsea, Utd, Brentford), but then left us exposed to the oppo scoring again and winning.

Yeah - but even so there seemed to be more emphasis on going forward, which is one reason we went behind in the first place. We just seemed to be more structured last season.

It is i think an interesting one.

Nobody expected the team to win 11 draw 1 and lose just 1 in the first 13 last year and honestly the title was done.

The form then was 7-7-0 which wasnt title winning form and maybe something we should have paid more attention to long term. We couldn't keep that clean sheet or lead.

We then cantered to the title, lost to psg and looked tired. Arsenal fell apart.

Really the start to the season gave slot great kudos and time and it won the title by Christmas due to not really having a challenger.

Since we won the title the side has looked ****. We dismissed it and I got told how dare I even bring it up. Enjoy the party etc etc.

Its fine to enjoy the party when thr party is on. The party doesn't run for months before the trophy is handed out. Nobody wanted to hear aboit the issues.

Now we had a great start. Good fight but again couldn't defend worth a damn but fought to get late goals and win.

Finally the wheels have come off and we have injuries all over too.

Slots credentials and credibility are in question as a result. That massive hope where sides can run into all day is stark and just dropping wirtz wont close it.

Tactically im sure handing this squad to any number of managers would see a change in formation or emphasis and more use of the top talent.

I hair on at this bit of you've two top top 10s and 2/3 really attacking full backs it seems.madness not to find a way to exploit it.

4222 for me seems logical. 2 6s holding and let those full backs go. Just bomb on and let the 10s press up top. With the strikers (we have no wide pace so call the 4 forwards strikers and be done with it.)

Go 343 if you must but close the gaps.

that’s because as fans we watch football for enjoyment. And the ultimate enjoyment is seeing your team win the title. As fans, that’s all that matters and once title was won you just enjoyed it for what it is.

Why as fans would you worry about anything else, especially as it’s stuff you can’t control. Yes if you worked for the club should have long term vision in mind and make sure prepared for next season etc, but as fans we have no control over that so why worry about things out of our control when in the grands scheme, we had already achieved the goal and given fans what wanted to celebrate.

You enjoy it when its done and when the cups picked up.

You dont need to piss all over anyone looking at games and seeing clear issues.

Our target now should be top 4, no matter how far behind the eventual league winners we are. Any cups would be a bonus, but if we miss out on top four we will not attract top players in the summer.

Nah, target should always be as high as mathematically possible and that's first

Liverpool: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha.
Subs: Pecsi, Gordon, Kone-Doherty, Pinnington, Figueroa, Nallo, Pilling, Lucky, Laffey.

Let's talk about positives

Ramsay has recovered his fitness a little with u21s and is ready for sale

Morriston played very well last week in the u19 euros and gets a reward

Chiesa gets to lead the line

Palace get a bye to the next round to win another cup.
 
Well, looks like Slot is writing this one off which means weekend and Madrid become must wins games.
