Pre Match Pre Match - Eintracht Frankfurt (A) - Weds 20:00

[Brizzle]

Not even sure where to begin. We need to show some semblance of tactics and take control of a game. Will this be it?

Some players need a rest - Macca & Gravy after knocks on Sunday. Ibu possibly as he got that knock for France. Although this is arguably too many changes to find form from


Marmadash

Frimpong
Gomez
Virgil
Robbo

Szobo
Jones
Wirtz

Salah
Ekitike
Chiesa

Sweeping changes for me - let those who have shown some form get a chance to do it from the start. Leaving Mo is just because we know he will start.

 

[Holle]

Definitively start Salah. So we can bench him on Saturday to commemorate his 25th stinker in a row.

 

[Modo]

I'm not expecting Chiesa to start. Wirtz and Ekitike should.

 

[MomoWASright]

Slot will go

Kelleher
Alexander-Arnold
Konate
Van Dijk
Robertson
Gravenberch
Szoboszlai
Mac Allister
Salah
Jota
Gakpo

He loves playing the same players.

I can imagine the bewilderment on Trents face. But he'll play regardless.

Maybe it's time for a negative poster to start these threads?
You're having a terrible run.

@Modo - unless we win this game, you need to take over imo.

Salah *should* start just in hope he somehow gets a goal or two and breaks out of his slump ... If class is permanent, then we have to hope he can get out of this but I'm skeptical.

 

[MomoWASright]

Class may well be permanent but I’m not tempted to be starting Rush or Barnes. If the body can’t do what the mind wants then it’s over.

Maybe I should, and maybe my Nostradamus-esque prediction might be a little less negative too.

His slump is not only caused by misfiring but also by sloppiness and half-arsed runs. This can't be fixed by scoring a peno.

 

[Red Mullet]

Drop Salah and Macca.

Play like school boys, all 10 players running around the ball.

Time to end this dreadful run and stop this disfunctional 433. Slot beginning to look clueless on the sidelines as teams cut through us like a hot knife through butter.

I've no idea what may break this spell but to digress I've just had my mood lifted.

I don't know if anyone else has picked up on it but just seen a YouTube clip from a channel called Diary of a CEO, guy interviewing Jurgen today and asks him if he'd return to LFC - interesting reply at about 1h 54.40m.

It is not about class anymore...its about age.

We have not accused him of being arrogant in terms of adapting, but he needs to lessenhis attacking instincts and tell them to attack with measure and not carelessnes

 

[mom]

I can see us losing this one and struggling on the weekend too.
Unless, the old guard turn up. Doesn’t matter how good the new guys are as the key roles of CM and CB are last seasons regulars.
If VVD and Ibou both play well together with the midfield firing in front of them, that bodes well.

I’d play the strongest squad we have to get some confidence back be let the kids play in the cup

 

[Dreambeliever]

Reminds me of your slump in our previous title winning defence season. It took Klopp and the players a lot longer to figure it out.

Thank god our fans are kneejerk sensationalists 😂😂😂😂

 

[Number21]

It did take Klopp a while to sort it out but he sorted it & he had far tougher job having to sort that than Slot has now. That squad was decimated with injuries. Slot has a goldmine but looks to have no idea what to do with it.

That run was crazy by the way. We went unbeaten for something like 75/80 league games at Anfield to then losing 6 on the spin.
