The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread - Champions of England

[Zidane98]

In Klopp's last season we had a patch where Gomez played CDM and we kept going.

Just sayin'.

That was about his only reliable season since 2018/19.


There is no way Jogo is getting a new deal.

I agree, but if I was Gomez I wouldn't be signing any new deal at Liverpool, because I want to play football for a living.

He wants to play football but physically is not able to.


I doubt a PL club signs him. He'll have to go somewhere less physically taxing.

 

[The Punter]

He wants to play football but physically is not able to.

At the moment that decision is being taken out of his hands.

 

[Lebbo73]

Ekiteke back issue, so who knows how long that will be.

Oh ffs

 

[FreoRicci]

Can I ask.. what the **** was VVD doing for that penalty? Is he an AFL defender or something?!

 

[foxdog50]

Ibou FFS though.

Honestly if Gomez isn't fit to play CB, id rather play Endo as our CB than Konate

 

[foxdog50]

We had the option to go 12 on the bench, he’s gone with 9 including 2 keepers and made only 2 subs.

He hates rotation and he hates youth players. Why did we bother going into this season paying Endo and Gomez’s wages if we were never going to use them.

spot on .
The difference between him and Kloop is that he believed in all of his players on the bench that could be a starting player. Kloop made the player on the bench that they can make a difference when they are subbed on to the game..
Slot doesn't believe in any of his players on the bench, and the starting players are getting a free ride in they keep getting a starting game
Konate and Salah should be starting on the bench as there form isn't there

 

[foxdog50]

Alonso might be available soon

Id be happy even if Steven Gerrad was a care take boss till the end of the season

 

[foxdog50]

Can we **** this bloke off already?

Look id be fine in giving the Slot the boot. But **** me.. How much of a laughing stock would we be if we give Slot the arse after only last year we won the league

 

[RossFC]

Predicted side vs West Ham

----Ekitike—-Chiesa
————--Dom
——Wirtz-Grav-Jones
Robbo-VVD-Endo-Gomez
————Alisson

Subs: Mamardashvili, Konate, Kerkez, Nyoni, Mac Allister, Ngumoha, Gakpo, Salah, Isak

Legit just try something different, defence first mindset, stack the midfield for extra coverage, and win the ball back asap, drop who needs to be dropped, time to give depth some minutes. We get nothing out of Isak, so maybe have Dom as a pressing attacking mid who has permission to do some thunderbolt shots.

 

[gaskin]

What is Zidane up to? I wonder if he would be up for the gig since the French National Team job isn't open.

I am waiting for the Lea Bleus job. Reports are that Deschamps will not continue no matter the result at WC2026.

[peternorth]

Yeah Mo and VVD need to cop some heat too, world class players who have been below par most of the season. Mo was always going to have a drop off but he has fallen off the cliff.

Worst run of form in 72 years

the cliff fall is alike Richmond 2024

Less of a laughing stock than team battling relegation with 500 mill up front.

 

[Visions]

The below?
Isak Ekitike
Wirtz
Dom Grav
Robbo carbon-rod vvd ramsay
mama/ali

Wirtz floating

I like this, mainly because Salah isn't on it. He's been on the downhill ride ever since round 30 of last season when all the talk was of his easily breaking the record combined goals/assists record, but could only manage 3 in the last 8 games to just equal the record. Yet despite being garbage most of the time, he still gets a lot of game time.

It was also around Feb that Liverpool were going great guns and the hope of 4 titles in the year was on the cards. But in true Slot style, he drove the favoured players to exhaustion without rotating them so it wasn't sustainable and had to make do with only the title.

Then after hitting the trade market and securing one of the best strikers in the world and one of the best attacking midfielders in the world along with some other handy buys, rather than adapting to their strengths, he plays weird formations.

Was a shame not getting Guehi in the off season, but would he even want to come now when he sees what is happening with the current rabble? Slot would probably do something stupid and play him out of position at right back.

 

[kane249]

Rumour Slots been told he has to get 6 points from his next 2 games or he's gone

 

[jod23]

OUT: Slot, Gakpo, Konate
IN: Ange, Semenyo, Guehi

Still need a genuine 6 as well for mine Szobo and Grav are both great 8's but don't cover the back 4 up enough

Ange is not a very good manager. That would be a disaster.

 

[jod23]

Konate and Salah should be starting on the bench as there form isn't there

This is how we won a League Cup with children on the pitch against Chelsea.

Klopp made every single player feel special, feel a part of it, feel like they can contribute. Slot plays about 14 blokes and the rest are just training partners.

 

[jod23]

I think we need to go away from a three man midfield right now as we're getting walked through.

Play a narrow three of Mac, Grac and Jones with Dom in front in the 10. Then play a traditional two up front. Isak and Mo at the moment as Ekitike is out.

Isak Salah
Dom
Mac Grav Jones
Robbo VVD Konate Gomez
Ali

Robbo and Gomez to do there best to provide the width on the overlap.

Start to find clean sheets first. Then worry about scoring goals to win games.

 

[gaskin]

Ange is not a very good manager. That would be a disaster.

Ange is a good manager and the evidence is he wins everywhere he goes. What he isn't is a manager capable of coaching at the highest level.

 

[RossFC]

Slot says Alisson is back training, Wirtz a chance to train on Saturday, Ekitike's back looks ok but will be assessed still.

 

[Mr Meow]

the cliff fall is alike Richmond 2024

Richmond were poor in 2021, okay in 2022 and terrible in 2023.

Richmond had injuries and a lot of off field issues
