Then Endo and Gravenberch can play there in an emergency too. It's certainly annoying as he is quality, but we have loads of cover. Suppose we don't have a million CBs like Arsenal do though.

September 14Sep 14 True, I read we had 81% possession but we didn’t create much. You get that though with the players we have compared to Burnley we should have created more outright chances. Would you drop Kerkez and bring in Robbo again next week?

I think we had 10 blocked shots or something like that. It's hard to create against a team which is just playing not to concede - look at how England struggle against the likes of Andora recently!Think Robertson and Kerkez will just share minutes, one will start vs Athletico and the other will against Everton. I don't think Kerkez played badly, he got a silly booking and was one challenge away from being sent off. This was the first of 3 games in 6 days - Slot will just manage minutes.

September 20Sep 20 Yeh and we always have a derby at 12.30 on a Saturday after a champions league fixture!

You could tell after 35 minutes we dropped off physically, but expected after a tough game midweek.To have 6/6 playing Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle away, plus a really well managed Bournemouth team and Burnley away, with all those new players in key areas, and all the pressures of being champions with a cheque book, Liverpool have done excellently. This is a proper team.
Saturday at 21:504 days There's no doubt about it, we're in a serious muck. We've been through these periods recently under Klopp too in 2021 and 2022/2023 as well. The problem is at the moment, I am genuinely not sure what Slot is trying to do. There is a real problem with our pressing and we cannot defend set pieces at all. We've had an unfortunate period of away games, but he is really under pressure now. I wouldn't be concerned if I could tell you what he was doing tactically, but I can't as we don't have the players for how he wants to play (weirdly, I do think Guehi would solve a fair few of our issues).Going to be a long season, when it rains it pours. Problem is, I'm not sure we have hit rock bottom yet!
