In the overall landscape that is LFC… losing 4games on the trot might just become a footnote in the (hopefully), successful seasons to come.
We have got ourselves into the longed for position, of being able to go out and buy the best. Given that, these players don’t turn shit overnight. Neither will they know the tactics required of them overnight, their teammates, the city, in some cases the country.
None of the newbies have been here 6months yet…
It is said patience is a virtue. With the way we have played in some games recently, it is a virtue that is being truly tested. Then all of a sudden, some of the interlinking play in the Frankfurt game last night, became the green shoot moments we have been anticipating…
IMO, when we hit the summit of the PL again this season; and we will; there is no way we will be ousted again… This team, and squad nucleus is in it for the long haul at Anfield. I for one, as a fan, can only see good times ahead..
We looked better yesterday because Frankfurt played the right way and didnt just put the ball in the air the entire time
I know this isn’t what he is saying, but there have already been several games this season where Slot has taken shit for these sorts of comments that are being interpreted negatively. They are being presented as an ugly form of snobbery, or even entitlement, and he just keeps adding fuel to that fire.
I appreciate his willingness to talk openly about the things he saw in the game. But a big part of management at this level of managing perceptions and not inviting any unnecessary pressure. Especially when you are not in a good run of results.
Looking back, Klopp did the same thing at the beginning and triggered similar reactions. Slot simply doesn’t know any better, as it’s normal to talk like that in other leagues. In England, however, people are very sensitive about this, and the question is whether Slot will simply remain Slot and, as a Dutchman, speak his mind, or whether he’ll adapt. We’ll have to wait and see.
The comparison is Slot and Arteta, and the level of patience shown to them as managers of potential title winning clubs.
Arteta nil in six.
Slot one in one.
Why would anyone even think to compare how much patience each manager was given? Its a comparison that makes no sense. One inherited a title challenging side expected to challenge again had the manager not stepped down and the other inherited a side going backwards and in complete financial disarray
Ok
Have a look around at the criticism that Slot is getting??
From Liverpool supporters and sections of the media. My point is, that Arteta, having spent an enormous amount of money has been given time to win something. Slot already has won a title and should be afforded some patience. The comparison is valid, in terms of patience.
If Isak is not going to play because of his groin, I wouldn’t mind seeing the same formation as the CL game, only with Mo up front alongside Ekitike.
He might spark to life again closer to the goal. Wirtz in behind them. Two wide players outside in a very attacking 325 when we attack, to revert to more of a 442 when defending.
I’m intrigued by the formation. The personnel can shuffle around a bit, but I’d like to see what Mo can do up front in a two.
FSG aren’t the type of owners to rush into sacking a manger based on a few bad results. They will monitor, and act when backed into a corner, but until they view it as a hopeless cause, they will back Slot
