Well the stupid thing is that presumably the reason to get the FBs into those channels is to force the defence to congest centrally and create space out wide for the attackers to get on the ball… but when the attacker gets the ball wide he wants to cut infield on to their strong foot which is where the defence is now overloading.
For me both issues are fixed by stopping the underlapping crap.
HT 0-1:
Many questions:
Sorry, but this isn’t good enough. All these players get a zero from me for this display. It can only get better though, so there is still a chance to right things. Otherwise, coaches and players will get what they deserve after the match.
It’s so fucking weird…The first 10 minutes, Kerkez on the overlap while Gakpo goes narrower was the time that we can set-pieces off them like mad and our play looks more dangerous!
Suddenly, it all disappeared??? WTF?
Slot has that look on his face that he has no idea what to do to fix things.
Disagree.
Isak’s side of it is that Newcastle reneged on a deal and he wanted out. They piled enormous pressure on him to force him to stay, including bringing in the bone saw brigade from Saudi to meet him at his house. He stood strong and got his move. Arguably he had an assurance from Liverpool that we would not give up on him after he was embroiled in an almighty tussle with Newcastle.
In an ideal world everyone plays nicely. In an ideal world Isak trains with the team in preseason and the suits at Newcastle either fulfil their contract promise to him, or professionally allow a player to leave when it breaks down with the club. Clearly the murky world of Premier League transfers is sometimes not an ideal world.
In the end Newcastle did everything they could to ensure Isak would have a bad start to his Liverpool career, sore at losing their best player, sore at losing out on Ekitike and sore at not getting the £150M they wanted for Isak.
Isak is a quality player and it will come. There’s no way I’m piling in on him at this early juncture.
This performance will give us all insomnia.
He doesn’t even try to fix them, he just persists with the same defective shite week after week.
If he wants to get himself sacked, then carry on fella.
We want pictures of your Stadium food
It’s rather ironic that this is the sort of game that Wirtz was meant to unlock, and he is injured.
I can’t think what will make a difference here, but freeing Dom up to play in midfield would help. I just want to see a bit of fire and belief from our lads now.
I think the buck stops with Slot. You can’t sack a whole football team,right?!
We are lucky not to be 2 down! 
We always have one player who ove comiits closing down gets turned and then the press collapses.
A press isn’t always just to win the ball in that area but also to cause the opposition to get their head down and just get rid with no direction to their clearance/pass
I don’t care Isak did nothing in the 1st half. Which was completely predictable! 
Nah, you don’t want it. It’s dutch and it’s stubborn, and bound to ultimately fail.
The RB position has impacted our all round game all season
That seems to be your wet dream. You’ve been piling up.
RIP Maxi.
It is trendy though.
Which in itself pisses me off.
We have a natural fucking RB on the pitch but Slot doesn’t wants to use him! WTF…
