Start actually playing with two centre mids, a standard role for Trent at rb, play to Salah's reduced physicality these days by keeping him near the box to finish moves and we'll improve the performance levels, compete properly. Right now the set-up, and tactics are failing the players.
Rated Arthur quite highly before his injuries, lack of fit at the previous clubs...if we can rediscover that version we have an excellent ball player who was actually quite mobile, useful defensively at his best. Don't know how much he's lost physically though, haven't kept track of him. Give him and Thiago a go at the base in a 4-2-3-1.
Both Elliot and Carvalho are no 10s, not centre mids in a flat three on the early evidence so far. Give Nunez a go leading the line. Give him a run of games, a season, we'll know by then if there's a long term future for him. Far too early to write him off. It's the risk if you're a relatively poor footballer but can contribute in other ways, as it was with Kuyt, Carra etc, they'll get more scrutiny, have less of a margin of safety, to contribute.
Don't mind the staff trying these things tactically, but clearly the execution, the training that's gone into mechanising the new movements was poor if even Klopp has come out and said we were too wide, not compact enough. Not a one-off either, it's a pattern at this point, the only exception was when Hendo played more central and deeper against Bournemouth, supporting Fabinho.
