Sounds like Legohead.
Couldn’t agree more!!
It’s something we have no power changing right now. Talk about it after the game if you must. It adds nothing to the team and subconsciously plants the “woe is me” seed

Jurgen did exactly the same, but I agree
Well he isn’t is he….well hope not.
Can you name a player who has ever used this as an excuse?
He has to talk about it. He’s obligated to talk about the welfare of his players.
Ultimately its about human biology not mentality.
When shit hits the fan, put a bunch of midfielders on the pitch, tuck your shirts in, get compact and start slowly rebuilding.

I’ve looked at the table for the first time in two months. How the fuck are we only two points of 4th? Fucking hell, if we hadn’t shat the bed against Leeds and shown more urgency against Sunderland we’d still be in with a shot at the title. I’m genuinely amazed.

So it turns out not playing Gakpo is the catalyst to this mini run of wins.
Without Gakpo, Kerkez plays back to his overlapping best, no more cut in and shoot, no more cut in and high crosses to the back post…
However, Slot likes Gakpo a lot so watch him return to the starting lineup once he is fit lol…

Slot to Gakpo: “simple rule Cody, every time you cut in and shoot (and don’t score) the next play you HAVE to pass to Milos when he’s joining attack.
If you don’t you’re coming straight off
I don’t care if I have to put Mama in your position”

I feel like Mama might be awesome running down the left wing.

Mama would absolutely trample all over any right back that dares get in his way

Possibly…just possibly…the situation hasn’t been as bad as what this and every other Liverpool forum makes it out to be?

It’s the 15 points after 5 games where we were (5?) clear of all comers. Out record since really has been poor enough to justify the concern, especially as we haven’t looked convincing going right back to the charity shield.

nah, its been bad.
results wise bad, but also to the point where you couldnt even see what we were trying to do, which is worse.
little light at the end of the tunnel, but yeah, whats behind us (hopefully) now cant be forgotten in the end of season review.

At this point, I’m of the opinion that none of our forwards is suited to 4-3-3 or 4-5-1, systems they’ve been playing for ages!
Joking aside, while Gakpo’s form has taken a dip alongside that of almost every teammate of his, we’re still conceding too many chances at the other end. The difference between Sunderland/Leeds and Brighton matches is that the former took their chances - that Gomez lad from Brighton was probably kicking himself after the game.
One mitigating circumstance is that Slot isn’t able to field the same XI these days (even if he wanted to). Gomez is injured again, Isak had been injured prior to Brighton match, now Szoboszlai is a worry after his ankle injury, too.

After today’s performance there is no doubt in my mind that Arne Slot is not the right coach for LFC. The tactics was so cowered even after going one man up.

Congratulations for surviving the sack. Individual moment, luck and red cards bailed him out. He now also has the excuse of many injuries and players missing.
Has he improved any players? Can anyone see some kind of tactical identity?

I don’t even know what the tactics were but we looked clueless that last 15 mins and that does not speak well to the quality of the coaching
