We are lucky to be in the position we are at the min, with other teams building momentum we are getting punished, I am understand our players are still understanding one another but the players we have bought in don't suit 4-3-3 formation, we need to go to a 3-5-2 formation to get best out of frimpong, kerkez and whirtz but it comes at a cost and can't believe I am saying this but Salah doesn't fit with this system unless he moves off the wing but can't drop him lol, when fit would try this.

ALI

KONATE VD
RG

FRIMPONG SOB AM. KERKEZ

SALAH WIRTZ

ISAK


RG needs to stay in sweeper roll all the time, salah and wirtz need to stay inside use pace of wing backs for attack and defence.

Need to drop salah from that and play Ekitike or Chiesa.
Back four.
Grav in cm with szobo and Curtis jones.

Konate should be dropped.

Once again entertaining to read bradley and kerkez are the problems and "arnt good enough". Now I certainly wasn't keen on us signing kerkez he's, 21. Bradley only turned 22. Both trying in a team not playing well and with konate having the worst spell in his Liverpool career. It's easy to pick on young lads.

they are part of the larger problem
But that could be the coaching.

Well same old story really.

Although I have started to change my mind about what's happening a bit. I was initially frustrated at the lack of accurate passing etc, but today I could just see that there is hardly ever a good pass on especially when building from the back.

I wonder if this is a tactical issue - we look just so narrow and on top of each other in the centre of the park. Wirtz for example can only provide assists etc if the right movement is made, or if Salah and co actually hit the target when put through.

I don't know the answer, but clearly these tactics aren't working or have been found out.

Absolutely love Salah, but want to know what it will take for him to be dropped or at least taken off? Didn't even get a shot on target today - he is used to playing with a 9 that feeds him and not the other way around - that has got to be an issue too in my opinion.

I started counting in the second half how many passes we could string together, and it was rare to get past 3!

Going through a tough time I get it, but quite why Slot is not making some obvious tweaks (I. e substituting a centre back in for another) is beyond me.

Probably a silly observation - but do we think anything has changed tactically due to Heitinga leaving too from the back room staff?

Last season we won the league because of the numbers Salah put up. This season he's fallen way off. Drop Salah who replaces him?

He’s making Kerkez play as a three st the back and making sure to pass to gravernberch

At Bournemouth he was flying down f the wing that’s where we need him
I don’t blame Kerkez for any performances

It’s too much rubbish from
Slot he need to wake the f up and stick to what works not this over the top ideas he has cos if he continues it will be too late.

Could be, something has changed. the lack of desire to keep the ball and properly pass it to create something is insane.
Are we just not training at all? I could believe that if it was stated.

04 Oct 2025 19:59:19
[Lewis Steele] Virgil van Dijk, Arne Slot, Alexis Mac Allister and Federico Chiesa go over to the away end at full time to applaud the fans who have fought through train chaos to be here. Most the rest all straight down the tunnel.

04 Oct 2025 20:14:32
Id rather they just played well.

04 Oct 2025 19:56:39
Its clear what Slot is trying isn't working, but why isn't it clear to him? He literally said nothing has changed since last season tactics wise in his last interview, if he can't see what he has changed then we have no hope.

Genuine question, what was the injury Macca sustained at the end of last season?

Slot did mention an injury, in a very next question please kind of way, but never actually disclosed what that injury was. Whatever it is, it has completely robbed Macca of all his ability, intelligence and all round game. I have never seen such a regression in a player, even Fabinho when his legs had gone could produce the odd moment of quality. Macca, on the other hand, is actively working against us.

It is absolutely absurd.

Not sure on Macca injury but he is nowhere fit and teams are just walking past and around him, then Slot makes it worse by playing Szobo at right back, meaning our midfield suffers big time.
