I'm starting to think "klopps team" won the league last season is true.. the drop in urgency from the last few games of the season till now is diabolical

At this point, idk what to expect. Super disappointing result.

team playing like ****. No synergy no threat. Isak feels like an expensive Carroll

One damning statistic. We started Isak in the last 3 PL games. And we lost all 3 games.
The sheet thing is Slot has his favourites.

Ekitike, Chiesa are the fowards in form.

He plays Isak and Salah as they are his favourites. Reputation and not based on form.

Frimpong should start ahead of Salah. The minutes he on field creating more chances then Salah the whole 85 minutes.

The irony is ekitike and chiesa might be our best forwards now but slot refuses to start them. Salah needs to be dropped.

Probably due to the “legend” influence in the dressing room

just like if VVD plays poorly he will still be undroppable

Attacking is too slow at the start until we are desperate for a goal. Don't know why keep passing sideways in the beginning and fail to spot the runners. Last season they always able to pick out the free player in the midfield to receive the ball and the attack comes alive. This season someone made himself available to receive the ball and yet prefer to pass from defender to defender.

I know people complain about Nunez's finishing. But he formed a important part of the press. As well as the off the ball running that allowed Salah to make those defence splitting passes.

Nunez, Diaz, Jota actually had an understanding with Salah. Salah understood their runs. They understood the runs Salah thrives on. They made those runs that allowed Salah to make those passes. But without the 3 of them, Salah is now useless as he has lost his pace.

The only things he has now is that vision. But no players make those run's that allows him to thrive as all 3 is gone. Not to mention all those 3 was very mportant part of the press. Taught by Klopp/.Salah's finishing has always been very inconsistent and erratic even though the stats he has says otherwise.

The thing with Salah's stats in those past seasons, is he gets into so many good positions, even when he misses them, He still gets a lot of goals.

Salah got ahead of himself when he tried to fight klopp at the touchline. Klopp left and he told slot that he won't defend but he will score goals. These 2 things rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciate Salah but he's developing that Ronaldo syndrome.

Frimpong is our Jeremy Doku. Need to develop him by playing him more. Esoecially low block teams.
