Banter: Mo Salah vs Klopp, what you guys think and whose side you on? I am on Kloop's side. Salah not been playing well.

I am reading that Slot likes to play inverted fullbacks. Please god no. someone tell me I've got this wrong.
Alongside the bore off style of play a lack of offensive width has been our biggest issue.

Not the worst performance today as West Ham are a good side on their day. However, I'm so bitterly disappointed in Klopp and Salah. Two absolute legends and probably the highest paid people at the club. It's petulant, it's pathetic and worst of all, it's what their last season will be remembered for. They've both just had their 'Gerrard slip' moment. Good grief, you can literally hear our rivals already. This will be meme fuel for years. "Remember the year Klopp lost the dressing room and Liverpool bottled the title? "

It's beyond embarrassing when it goes past the performances on the pitch and extends to the way they're representing our club. Salah having to be held back by the way, is shocking. He'd never play for me again if I were Klopp. That's a sackable offence in the real world regardless of what he's said to wind him up. You don't try and square up to anyone at work, never mind your bloody boss.

I'm going to bed, someone wake me up in June when this sh@t show is over, because I've had enough.

Seen someone elsewhere say klopp lost his power when he announced he was leaving. Easy for the players to give up when they know he's leaving because he won't be here anyway mentality.

28 Apr 2024 01:44:56
Just said exactly the same in another post MK, he wouldn't play again for me either, never in a million years. Shocking.

Salah has been poor for a while . n i love Klopp but who knows what's been happening behind the scenes . looks like two of them are at each other . maybe be bit more professional but emotions kick in . we seem to have completely capitulated. luckily enough we got enough pts on board fr champs league next year.

Watching Ipswich Hull. Do the Eds think that Slot arriving will alter what happens with Carvalho and some of the others in the fringe? Or will Edwards do that? It's maybe a good chance for him, Sepp, Billy, etc to be re-evaluated l?

{Ed001's Note - they will all be evaluated I am sure.}

I keep on hearing fans complaining all over social media how Klopp's ending the final season 🤷

He has just won the Carling cup and probably will finish in top 3 how is that bad?

Seems some fans have just lost their minds 🤦.

It's just youngsters who play football manager and are on social media at any given time to knock people. It's the new modern world. It's so cool apparently. Not all youngsters may I add.

Start of the season we’d all of taken it. However, when your still in all four competitions in march after winning one, only ending with the caraboa cup is going to be a disappointment. Some reactions may be seen as OTT, but I understand the frustration.

27 Apr 2024 21:01:22
It's not bad, but it's not great either.

28 Apr 2024 02:10:24
It's not good and you can't sugarcoat sh*t. We're not in a good place and that's as simple as it gets. We are capable and were capable of winning the lot but we bottled it at the last hurdle. It's not just youngsters having a dig it's people who are simply frustrated by recent results and you can't blame people for that. It's the passion we have for a team we love and follow week in week out so to see us fall off like we have done is bound to do peoples heads in.

It would be interesting to hear the players thoughts and opinions on the tactics and the way they have been asked to play.
Apart from Trent being allowed to drift into the middle of the park I don’t think the tactics actually suit any of out players and stifles them more than anything. All you have to do is look at macalister/ gakpo when played in their favoured positions and szobo before he joined us.
Maybe this is why they look so deflated on the pitch at the moment?

27 Apr 2024 16:24:36
we started going downhill when Trent came back into the team.

27 Apr 2024 16:53:46
I agree.
Trying to play to Trent’s strengths at the detriment of the team.
So it would be interesting to know how the players feel about this.

Gomez was having his best season for us in years playing himself back into the England squad. With Trent and Robbo back he's not featured nearly as much. Defensively we looked better with Bradley at RB. We look again like we did last year giving up great looks week in week out. Playing Trent central makes it so much easier for a side to defend in a low block and leaves us open to the same counter attacks time and time again. Maybe the players don't believe in how they are being asked to play. idk.

27 Apr 2024 19:05:35
How can you blame tactics when we were cruising until recently when injured players came back and couldn't replicate their 1st half form? The truth is Diaz Nunez and youngsters carried us when we had injuries but it wasn't sustainable hence lot's of hope's were put on Salah and jotas comeback but it didn't go according to the plan and Nunez and Diaz goals just dried up 🤷.

I’m of the opinion that the rhythm was lost, we got injuries and the kids stepped up brilliantly, of which some have propelled themselves into the 1st team squad, kudus to them for taking the chances they got.

During that period, the senior pros rallied and covered any short fall re errors/ inexperience. When the senior players returned from their injuries, it was nearly all at the same time, the rhythm was lost getting up to speed - coupled with the players that played through the injury period started feeling the demands of the season physically possibly mentally too.

Also what appears to be overlooked imo, is the fact the engine room (midfield) has 2 players new to the league and country, possibly compounding the problem.

So here we are today, a cup and back in the champions league, we hoped for four trophies which in reality was a romantic vision.

We have come so far under the stewardship of JK, let’s thank him and give him a huge send off.

Hi eds,

Just a quick question: do you foresee Szob's and Harvey's best positions being the position? Could imagine Szob on the right and Harvey behind a striker.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - sorry I think there is a word missing as I am not sure I understand.}

27 Apr 2024 14:31:44
I think the word is bench.

27 Apr 2024 17:19:43
not sure if Szob has a place in the 1st eleven, GaKPO and Grav have come on strong so its not all negative .

27 Apr 2024 18:17:27
He'll be fine IMO. The team is barely functioning and it has affected every player, some more than others.
