The championship winning teams that LFC have had over the years we never changed our system always played our best eleven bought two players a season put them in reserves unless they were to replace first team players we still won leagues and cups.
In the premier league over years they have had so called tinker managers now we have one and it seems to have started the same outcome losing games. I think Arne is over thinking things also taking our eye of the ball over waiting for Isak has not helped.
But i have no doubt Arne will 1. get us back on track and 2. learnt from this lesson.

Arne is about to show us how good he really is, now that he has a world class squad .
06 Oct 2025 16:11:57
We’ve done exactly what you’ve said though iwillbered. We’ve replaced first team players who have left. In the case of Diogo it’s an absolute tragedy not a player leaving which left a huge hole that we will probably never fill but if you look at the signings we’ve made they are all replacements for players who are no longer there.
Trent - Frimpong
Tsimikas - Kerkez
Diaz - Wirtz
Diogo - Ekitike
Nunez - Isak
Quansah - Leoni
Kelleher - Mama
Now when you look at that list you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who says that’s not an improvement overall. The only one you could say is the right back area but we’ve got Bradley there who many were saying should’ve played in place of Trent anyway.
The squad is better than it was last season but they’ve just had a tough start culminating in a few extremely narrow defeats over the last week.
I think Slot is trying to manage workloads given the lack of preseason for most players and he’s trying to prevent injuries affecting us later in the season. I honestly don’t see it as tinkering but more necessity. We are not totally fit yet so sending them out all guns blazing would be foolhardy.
Let other teams do that and it might mean losing a few games and coming on strong in the second half of the season but that’s when the trophies are handed out.
If you want to compare with great Liverpool sides of the past I think (and you can correct me if I’m wrong here I’m going by memory) that Kenny’s double winners of 1986 were around 10th place at Christmas but then started firing all the way to the double.
It’s a long season that needs managing in the right way. We can’t let a one week period affect everything it’s just a tiny part of the season where we’ve lost a few games. It doesn’t mean we will continue to lose every game just like winning 3 in a row doesn’t mean you will win every game.
We just need to chill, we have a great squad that will be right up there when the medals are being handed out in May. We are allowing a disappointing week to turn into a disaster in our heads. It’s far from it.

Arne Slot problem is lack of courage against the football committee. He should tell committee, I don't need so many new players, he should have courage to shout at Salah to help out in defence or face bench, he should have courage to put Isak on bench and start Ekitike who is on form.
He lacks courage.
06 Oct 2025 17:50:34
I think he racks 'ah dissaprin. Dissaprin come from within.
06 Oct 2025 17:59:23
I don’t think he lacks courage. He hooked Quansah midway through the first game of the season last year and the boy never saw the daylight. Salah was never good at tracking back, Jurgen had Henderson covering the backside of Salah for an entire decade. The big boys are always going to play no matter who the manager is.
06 Oct 2025 18:03:07
Salah had his best season when he was left as the most forward player and not tracking back, or at least I presume last season was his best? Damn good anyway. Salah gets so much stick and we are never happy, I was moaning at him being greedy and not passing! If he had passed and whom ever received the ball missed I would have moaned at him for not shooting.
06 Oct 2025 17:52:24
I don't think he lacks courage at all. He benched Salah last week. Slot for sure has his work cut out in the weeks ahead. He's been given a world class squad. Isak Wirtz class players. Slot needs to sort out what's behind them before we'll see the best of them.

Robbo
None of the players you have mentioned have proven to be better than their predecessors so far. We all hope they will be tho but that’s another story.
06 Oct 2025 18:23:13
Are you still here, Leek? Like an annoying wasp when you're trying to eat food.
06 Oct 2025 20:13:59
I’m hardly one for wokemanship myself but someone has to call out Rugby Parker. Completely unnecessary and clearly racially offensive. We are better than that on here folks.
06 Oct 2025 20:14:28
Robbo, those players who left have written their names in the annals of the illustrious history of this club. It is up to the new players to emulate the departed ones (including the dearly departed DJ20) in this regard.
We hope they do it if not surpass their achievements BUT at the end of the day, they're going to have to go out there and do it. We all hope they will.
06 Oct 2025 20:57:58
Red flag, it's from a South Park episode, direct quote as it was the first thing that came into my head when I read "he lacks courage". Absolutely no offence meant, but apologies if any was caused.
06 Oct 2025 21:02:11
Salah has been ghosting in games all season and slot doesn’t bring him off when it is clear that he should bring on Chiesa slot has an agenda against chiesa and rewards Salah by keeping him on the pitch Salah has been a legend for us but is past his best now and he is one of the problems.
06 Oct 2025 21:33:19
haven't heard the transfer committee brought up for a while lol
next thing it will be "Arne is a yes man" :D
I don't think Slot is going to stop tinkering, it's what he does.
So i think we'll just be riding this out and hope that team figure it out!
06 Oct 2025 23:23:22
Dear God, I hope we win a game soon.
06 Oct 2025 23:52:34
I remember Slot not tinkering enough last season and getting knocked out of the CL and losing the League Cup final because of it.
07 Oct 2025 01:02:00
Salah did use to track back when he was younger and when he could get up and down the pitch. He helped Trent out a lot in defence back in the day. But his legs have gone and he's no longer able to do that, hence why he stays up top most of the time now. He has adapted his game as time went on to try and prolong his career with us.
But I think the changes on the right have affected his play since he now needs to look up and find players instead of instinctually knowing where the RB, RCM, and ST are now.
07 Oct 2025 04:49:39
the problem is amplified because we have Isak who cannot press as well and doesn't track back.
We knew this is going to be an issue and quite a few called out here. we wanted more of a hustle buster with brain and not just king chaos.
07 Oct 2025 08:09:19
Would be nice if the same posters who slated Jota and his professionalism for years showed some class now and didn’t keep using his name in vain to receive post likes.

Robbosleggs, I understand what you are saying I am not slagging the players or the manager but I was trying to make the point that we would sign two players each season they would go into the reserves and were taught how we played playing against men of their age now we have an under 21 team that has kids as young as 16 playing it is great for the kids but not enough experience against grown men .
The lads we signed this window some of them could have done with a short time in the old reserves because they are finding it difficult to intergrate into the system. The point about tinkering i was trying to make was we have seen managers tinker with their teams and believed it was working two of them actually won the premier league and were sacked the next season for tinkering and getting beaten but and one won premier in first season. I do not want Arne to fall into that trap .
Wirtz when you bring in a player of the caliber of Wirtz you give him the ball let him work his magic you only have to look at enzo at chelsea when he first come people were saying a waste of money look at him now why because when his team mates get the ball first thing they do is look for him instead we look for MO all the time and he has two markers some times three if Wirtz gets the ball early and starts making things happen the opposition will move men on to him leaving MO free .
