We are playing like a badly coached badly motivated team. Frightened to play a forward/risky/quick pass.
This goes on until the last 10 minutes when make a tactical switch and bring on all the other forwards off the bench and go for kick and rush.
We have played this wayfor most of this season.
Who do you blame ?

Slot: âWe controlled the game and a few times were close, of course you always want more. Thatâs what we brought in the second half; two disallowed goals, hitting the bar, a goal, that is ideally what you want to see when you have so many attacking players out.â
He clearly has repeatedly said that weâre not creating enoughâŚ
He is supposed to be into stats, however you donât score multiple goals from the meagre chances we are creating and on the otherside with the way it is going, we donât have to concede many chances for the opposition to score.
So what is he doing to change it?
That is the issue, we donât see a plan to improve chance creation.

Pool used to be a source of joy for me. Now it is one of my sources of anguish. Summer transfer window was such a high, we were never gonna recover from that I suppose.
I think the problem is that this is criticism that is driven entirely by the outcome.
Sometimes in football you simply acknowledge certain things and move on.
Thereâre things to criticize about the overall performance, especially in the 1hf, but I wouldnât base it on a random wonder strike.

Thought we improved second half when we started to play forward passes instead of the slow sideways passing we been doing all season. Carra hit the nail on the head at half time when he said we were passing like we were playing five a side football.

Letâs first acknowledge that you lied about him

When he says âweâre not creating enoughâ, heâs framing it as a quantity problem. As if a few more chances will naturally appear once the system clicks. But thatâs not whatâs actually happening.The real issue isnât that Liverpool arenât creating enough.Itâs that they arenât creating anything meaningful at all .

Really inspires confidence in âthe players we had availableâ.

Thatâs incorrect. Weâre averaging a couple of big chances in the game. We hit the woodwork twice today

What are you talking about???
When have I lied when did I say or quote what Slot has said, total tosh from you!
You are correct; however, top attacking teams donât rely on isolated moments; they create pressure that builds and overwhelms opponents. When youâre playing well, chances come in waves (think Klopps teams at their best), misses donât matter, and goals feel inevitable. What weâre seeing instead is the opposite: rare chances, every miss feeling huge, and opponents resetting comfortably. Hitting the woodwork isnât proof the model works, it shows how thin the margins are. Near-misses arenât dominance; theyâre fragility.

First half was infuriating in its blandness. Second half, we played well in parts, which has been a theme for weeks.
Increasingly convinced that Wirtz is the future of this club but that he simply doesnât have the players around him to affect play in the way that he wants

I would argue that it is the system that handicaps him more. hugo, Isak, Dom Macca can definitely play well around flo, but system is just too slow and rigid

But theyâre not isolated moments. Theyâre the product of a process.
The problem is that you CHOOSE not to see it, when you are not directly misstating things
