Ed1 - do you think with a high pressing high energy style our players will regain their form? Or, are there more serious issues than just the tactics being employed and some regular players should be moved on?
{Ed001's Note - I think it will help, but it is not the only issue. Having a new head coach to impress will help and having the right tactics to suit the players. There are lots of things that will need to be right.}

Slot does play high press but it is mainly a possession style unlike Klopp's gegenpressing which I think is the most attacking and energetic brand of football. Despite high intensity under Slot, it may not be equivalent to the intensity we saw in initial Klopp years. Slot also plays with inverted full backs. It is a tweaked Pep style football from what I have seen.

Thanks Ed. I hope that push on next year - especially Darwin and szobo, I think they can really benefit from a more energetic style. They clearly have the potential and we need to get the best out of them. I don’t buy they’re not good enough - they were incredible at points in the season and we just need consistency.

Edd001 does slot play inverted fullbacks?
{Ed001's Note - apparently so, yes.}

Do u worry about the mentality/ bottle of our players ed1? I know u put a lot of blame on tactics, which I mostly agree with, but in saying that our players, almost all of them, fell apart when things got to nitty gritty towards end of season. i don't think I've ever seen a lfc team fall apart so badly, almost like we afraid.
{Ed001's Note - no, Klopp is leaving, the players were always going to lose focus the moment momentum went.}

Random name I know but thoughts on Diogo jota? Would probably have to overpay because wolves don’t need to sell but looks like a potentially top player.

Yeah I think far better value around Europe than him right now.

Really like him and Jimenez - if we didn’t already have both Origi and Firmino.

Wolves have some lovely players, a top manager. Did they qualify for the europa league btw?
I really like them. Jiminez is class, so is moutinio. Young Connor at the back is a great leader.
Wolves didn't make the same mistake as fulham and buy a new squad. They gave many of the players who won promotion a chance and they stood up. Sprinkled with the odd bit of class here and there. Neves is a lush player too.
With newcastle and wolves becoming super rich, its going to get harder and harder. Saying that. Chelsea are minted, so are utd but they were still so far behind us they couldn't eat our dust as it had already settled!
Liverpool to win the premier league and the league cup next season. At least semi finals in the UCL. Eds and reds, what tier team are we now? Last year we were a pot 3 team i think. Are we now pot one as champions or pot two as league runners up?

would rather lozano, though he may be napoli bound. young enough to improve to a starting spot. maybe if he joins napoli they may be looking to let insigne or mertens leave ( he would be great cover for front 3 given his age)

Jimenez? All day long. The closest thing to Bobbie, IMO. Jota? No. He is not at the level we are now, IMO.
