Salah starts. Not a big surprise.

As long as Frimpong is playing RB then that makes sense. We have one first team RB and one first team "RW" so it is what it is

Gakpo and Salah back on the wings.

Rumored team:

Ali, Frimpong, Gomez, Virgil, Kerkez, Gravy, Macca, Szobo, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike

Carefully structured play?

It’s like going from listening System of a Down to Bach. I need mad riffs and lyrics in my life.

You are comparing System of a Down favourably to Bach? Let's leave Bach out of comparisons to slots play. If we played football like Bach composed, we'd be winning the ugliest league I can remember, and looking good doing it.

The problem isn't that our play is above all structured carefully. It's that it produces less chances on the ball, and all that to facilitate the fact that off the ball it's less structured than it used to be, less sophisticated, and less effective.

And you are saying that Bach isn't riffy? I'd say he's one of the more riffy classical composers?

Anyhow, this whole heavy metal football thing devalues Klopp's tactical sophistication. Yes, he made people work like dogs, but he also made them work like an incredible destructive complex machine. Slot hasn't developed a single thing in terms of how we play, that is an improvement on what has come before. I don't think it's style. Would we be bored if we were pissing the league right now? Perhaps a little. I reckon it's a boredom we'd live with, if the boring was a better boring than last year.

Bloody hell Farky, there’s loads to reply to there.

There’s a few yeses in there. And SOAD do work like dogs on stage, but they also are a complex destructive machine of a band. With mad riffs.
