A lot of our players were involved in internationals and I believe slot deliberately made the game a bit slow, less pressing, less venturing into opposition half and more own half passing and defending.
In the match you could see less energy from both team players who played both international games.

Injures are starting to happen. I wonder if we rest in the champions league Wednesday?
We have a few wins on the board I can see some rotation.

I believe he should rotate wed nite lfc8 for the same reasons u have stated. Tsmikas, endo, mac and diaz in for robbo, grav, szobo and gakpo is what i wouldlike to see. nunez will obviously start instead of jota due to injury. It was a v tough match yesterday with a lot of chasing and arsenal match will probably be even tougher.

Rotation is the key now and I thought Slot did a great job preparing for the game cos Jones was at AXA in the int'l break and was fresh coming in. We're going to need everybody moving forward even a Trey Nyoni, if needed.

Wasn’t Jones with the England squad during the international break?
21 Oct 2024 21:30:33
He left the camp due to the birth of his baby. Anyone who has had one will tell you Curtis is anything but fresh. No idea how he pulled that performance out of the bag yesterday.

This week will be massive. Already dispatched Chelsea, away midweek against the joint leaders of the Bundesliga and then away to Arsenal. No easy games in which to rest players. Macca and Diaz got a decent rest on Sunday.
I expect Grav to play all 3 games but maybe Curtis, Macca and Szobo will play 2 each?
Similar with the forwards. I expect Salah to play all 3 and Diaz, Gakpo and Nunez to share the load between them (obviously this assumes Jota and Chiesa won't be fit) .
I think the back 4 will stay the same (injuries permitting) but Trent and Robbo may not play the 90 in either remaining game.

Endo is going to have to pitch in at some point, as well let's not forget.
22 Oct 2024 19:24:36
Is Chiesa’s first name Arthur? Just thought I’d ask …….

Who could forget Endo?
Arne Slot for one! You can't blame him because he was Klopp's stop gap signing.
But I'm sure when Slot finds out that Endo is the captain of Japan and that he is a lovely bloke he'll have him pitching in.
