If he likes, attacking, high tempo football, do we have a team capable of this.
If the answer is yes, then why arent we playing that style of football now, where did the heavy metal football go and why.

Jurgen let the midfield get too old and slow, and we ended up being more Karen Carpenter than Ozzy Osbourne.

Don't know if it was loyalty to great servants ala Shanks, or there were financial restrictions in the summer '22 window so his hands were tied, either way it needed new blood in midfield. Fabinho (and less shocking Henderson as he was already on the wane) getting bypassed so easily must have been a real shock to the system for Jurgen. Basically a write off that season.

We are completely stacked with 8s now so that area is sorted. Gravenberch looked the part at times today. Mac we know is class, Jones was our first choice midfielder at Christmas before the injury lay off, and Dom when he was fresh started off like a house on fire, great engine, no doubts about him either. Jurgen needed that extra summer to get the midfield sorted (likely would have done had he acted in '22) as it was too much in one go. Hopefully Slot can finish the job.

Slot has a penchant for rapid wingers who specialise in one vs one duels by all accounts so thats an area that should get sorted too. Doak I think will be a huge asset also in that department. Nunez is rapid, as is Diaz, and Mo (if he stays) showed some real pace today for the first time since he came back.

The intensity I think will return when the new man comes in as thats his game.

If Slot had a veto then he would be the manager and not the head coach. IF Slot was going to get a veto and be in charge of signings then I doubt the recruitment team would be leaking about Nunez being a Klopp signing.

Nunez seems like an obvious case of us wanting a striker and Klopp and Ljinders saying they want him only.

Areola looked absolutely baffled by the whole thing. He was on the floor for a little bit initially after the catch which, fine, he's wasting time or whatever as goalies do but once he's stood up again, he's perfectly fine. I can only assume that Areola falsely believed that a free kick had been awarded which is why he doesn't move when Gakpo runs toward him because he didn't start feigning injury until Taylor told him to.

Taylor's face when Gakpo was telling him begging for help of Ogbonna is sickening

He's forced the keeper to play act. Told him to get on the floor nearly threw him over himself

That's the worst shit I've ever seen

Yeah April 2023.

That for me basically gave them the green light to walk all over us.

You have an absolutely  no idea if this is true or not.

Just take the booking and leave the ref with a headache.  With only a few games left what difference would a booking make?

Right.

You know, I actually think they’re all premiership winning strikers. We’re just in a shitty run of form.

Only one I’d sell is Jota if we got a top fee, purely because he can’t be relied on to stay fit. Which sucks because he’s excellent when fit.

Disagree. They are good players, Jota is of course amazing, but always injured. But thats it, they are good, but not outstanding. We are not competing for a league or CL as that being our front line.

For sure. People don’t know what they have til it’s gone sometimes. Level of disrespect to Salah is galling at times. It would be just like him to shove it down a few peoples throats and come back firing. This bust up could be just what he needs. Life’s like that sometimes. It takes a spark sometimes to ignite something within.

I hope he does shove it down people's throats. We're all Liverpool fans and I for one could do with a Mo Salah performance.

But to be honest, the player has been shown plenty of respect. And nobody on here (as far as I've seen) has in any way downplayed or trivialised what he's done for this club. If he leaves this summer, he leaves as a legend and always will be.

Saying that his form has been abysmal and that he was massively out of line today isn't in any way disrespectful. It's the truth. And while many seem to act like those saying that are the emotional kneejerkers, I'd say those who are unable to accept any (justified) criticism of Salah are the ones getting emotional.
