Hi Ed's
Do you think Salah's drop of form has coincided with Trent playing this awful invert fullback role. I have noticed when Bradley is playing, Salah seems to have more space as the defender is occupied with two player instead of one. Which gives Mo the extra space to do his stuff.
I know Mo has been awful the last few months but I don't think this inverted fullback tactic helps.
Would love to hear your opinion on this.
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - that hasn't helped, but it is not the issue. It is not an inverted full-back that makes his touch so bad.}

Mos finished everything comes to an end time to move on as not to tarnish his legacy.

Didn’t Salah have good form at the start of the season when Trent was also playing the inverted full back.
I’m not sure how many of Mo’s 24 goals and 13 assists have come when we haven’t played Trent there?
{Ed001's Note - yes mate he did. The only real difference it makes to Salah is that he plays wider. But early in the season he was creating more chances for others and playing some good stuff.}

Definitely out of form we know he has lost some pace but personally I think he could play the false nine better than Firminho create more chances for others and still able to chip in with goals. What say you ed001
Up the pool.
{Ed001's Note - not convinced he could play there and even less convinced he would do it better than Bobby did. I do think he could play a little deeper but not that role, not the way Bobby did it.}

Ed001 100% agree mate.
I'm not trying to defend the inverted full back system as i am just as frustrated as the next person with how we are playing.
I just don't think our defeats to Everton, Atalanta and Palace our our inability to finish our chances or defend and give away so many early goals is just down to the formation.
The 3 games mentioned above I can't remember the last time i saw this team look so carefree and lackluster whilst being behind.
Seen reports online that Klopp is wielding the axe this weekend with as many as 7 changes so will be expecting some of the youngsters to come in.
{Ed001's Note - none of the players who have come back in have performed, so it would make sense to turn back to the kids who did.}
5.) 26 Apr 2024 13:03:08
Right, come on, Reds: who are the kids that we should play for the rest of the season and why?
Quansah, ok. Bradley is injured.
Have Danns, Clark, McConnell, Koumas etc done enough this season to start in the PL?
I've only seen glimpses of them in the League Cup, Europa and a few substitute appearances in the PL so I don't know how good they are and what they have achieved so far.
In my defence, the League Cup final was tense so I probably didn't notice them as much as I should have done.
{Ed001's Note - Danns has, McConnell was just starting to bed in and begin to play. The rest were at least trying to play forward, which is better than their replacements have been doing.}

The last 2 afcons that have been held in jan and salah form has fell off a cliff afterwards. 2 years ago 1st half of season he was the best player in world for me and kept us in touch when we playing average enough. Team then had great run and a good rattle at quad but salh form not near what it was for remander of season. Same this time although wouldn't say he as good in 1st half of this season as hd was 2 years ago.

Rigsby if the question was after my comment above mate then it wasn’t me saying we should be playing the youngsters.
It was more I’ve seen online as many as 7 changes. Looking at the bench wed and squad then I’m preempting that some youngsters will be involved.
But with Klopp subs on Wed o wouldn’t be surprised to see the same starting line up as Everton.
8.) 26 Apr 2024 13:31:27
Ed, crazy to think that we were winning games when we were playing the kids in the starting lineup. But the moment the first teamers got back from injury and inserted into starting eleven, everything started to fall off. It is supposed to go the other way around. I guess the kids just want it more.
9.) 26 Apr 2024 13:44:27
Mfahmee which kids were starting mate?
10.) 26 Apr 2024 14:00:01
No, it wasn't aimed at you, JK.
Even if we did make seven changes, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the kids. By kids, I mean Danns, Clark, McConnell etc anyway.
I just wondered what they had done that I hadn't seen.
At his press conference Klopp mentioned playing more positively and he could be expecting the senior players to do that. Why they wouldn't when behind in important games is strange though.
If the youngsters are ready then put them in but is there evidence that says they are?
11.) 26 Apr 2024 14:35:13
Rigsby i agree woth you as the youngsters have hardly played many league minutes this season apart from Bradley and Quansah but both have been in the team that failed to beat utd or Atalanta.
I was putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5 in regards to the 7 changes.
If 4 changes are the subs from Wed night then we should all strap ourselves in for a bumpy ride tomorrow.

Edd001 what has happened to sob? He seemed a great buy and rolls Royce. Completely fell off and for a long time now. His antics against Everton didn't impress me atall either with the dramatics. Do you see him becoming a star for us?
{Ed001's Note - if we play him to his strengths and let him play at high intensity, then yes he will be good for us.}
13.) 26 Apr 2024 15:49:13
JK23, I'm thinking maybe Danns. With how our forward line is firing blank right now, there is no harm in playing him. See what can he do as a starter. In midfield, McConnell maybe and Elliot.
14.) 26 Apr 2024 16:03:50
Sob is hiding in games. As Klopp says he is not telling the players don’t work hard, don’t press. He is a counter pressing manager, it’s just the players aren’t doing as instructed. Not just Sob but he is one of the worst atm. Lack of desire, energy, playing it safe, making wrong decisions. I hope next season he shuts his mouth and puts more effort into becoming a much better all round player.
15.) 26 Apr 2024 16:55:14
If we get slot and play szob as a 10 rather than an 8 I think we will see the best of him but attitude needs to change as does a lot of the lads if they want to be the best.
16.) 26 Apr 2024 20:12:40
It’s not that the kids have “done enough” to be starters for a title chasing team. It’s just that they've done enough that I want to see what they can do with an extended run in the team.
The way the first team are playing, we’re not winning many more games so the title is a very long shot.
Even more of a long shot is not finishing in the top 4.
Therefore we have little to lose by playing them in my opinion. You’ll never know what they can do unless you give them a chance.
17.) 27 Apr 2024 06:49:15
The only place I would play Szob is on the bench. A shocking player reminiscent of Bruno Cheyrou. Any false hope people have for him is miss guided another dud to go along with Darwin.
