Im not one for kicking clubs when they are down, but i hope liverpool fans remember that success is not guaranteed. As we know with all our success over the years and liverpool of course, its great to be at the top again but its not nice been kicked when u are down.

It's all part of banter for me. We gave it to you lot when you were down and it's our turn to be on the receiving end for now. As long as it doesn't turn nasty or malicious ;)

On the bright side for us though, even though we are in poor form at the moment, I still think we have a solid group of players who can perform much better than what they're currently showing now. So I feel it is an issue that can be easily turned around for us.

Liverpool always bought players that fitted Klopp’s system, now they seem to have bought a lot of big name places and are trying to find a system that suits them.

Feels that way Grim. Kind of believed their own hype a bit and moved away from their excellent scouting system they had in place, and personally feel they needed to strengthen at the back and midfield over buying Wirtz.

That being said who are we to talk. Until this season (Bruno excepted), we’ve recruited incorrectly for a decade.

Ihavetime you were very happy to kick Amorim when he was down so let's not forget that and he is our manager. You wanted him fired a few weeks ago.
Let's remember success is not guaranteed it has to be earned and it it will take a couple of years to get a decent foundation to build from.
Eth left behind a broken squad full of broken players. Confidence at an all time low so it was never going to be an easy bounce back and we are still not there at all.
Some players have done well since getting out of united that's happened imo not because they are away from Amorim like the press pundits and sensationalists would have you believe but because they escaped the toxicity at the club.


Again imo players like rashford and sancho and latterly garnacho were responsible for creating some of the toxic culture but rasmus and a couple of others fell victim to it.
Let's hope we can keep improving but I doubt it will be plain sailing for a bit yet.

I think Liverpool are in a weird position. Last season, Slot did well when operating within the limitations of the squad he inherited. He worked with what he had. For instance, having Szoboszlai cover the right flank defensively to compensate for Salah and Trent’s weaknesses.

I’m surprised with some of the signings this summer. Frimpong particularly sticks out. He’s not a Trent replacement, or a Salah successor. Would be perfect for us.

Wirtz, I get. He’s a phenomenal talent, but I think he could have been given an easier start by playing out wide. Very hard for a young player from a different league to be expected to be the creative fulcrum at a new club, and hit the ground running.

Kirkez is struggling with the pressure of playing for a bigger club. He was excellent last season, but needs to calm down and focus on the basics. Doesn’t help that the rest of the defensive is shaky too.

I feel sorry for Ekitike. It felt like Liverpool signed him as an FU to Newcastle. He stared really well, only for Liverpool to break the transfer record for Isak. I think he’s a quality player, and Slot needs to find a way to get him into the first eleven.

Isak is the one that I think fecked their momentum. He’s one of the best strikers in the world, when fit. I get why they wanted him. But I think they could have taken a more pragmatic approach with Newcastle. Perhaps, offering to step away from Ekitike as an olive branch. In the end, Liverpool had encouraged Isak to agitate for a move and had to sign him in the end. But this cost them by limiting their ability to bring in quality defensive replacements.

All in all I think Liverpool are stuck between a rebuild (and all the teething problems that comes with) and the fact that they’re the champions. Both Salah and VVD have seen a big drop off in form. Is the it easing off after getting their contracts, or age catching up with them? This has been compounded by the loss of form and fitness in midfield. It often feels like the pragmatic winning approach of last season is battling against the new team that Slot wants to build. In some ways, winning last season complicated things. Because if they finished 3rd or 4th fans would be far more patient with the rebuild. Although I’m not sure if some of their new signings would have come if they hadn’t won.

I also think Slot might look like a better manager than he is. He had a blueprint from Klopp with nearly the exact same squad so they had only one way to play. Now he’s having to actually do some managing and he’s sinking. Long may he sink.

One thing to consider is how poor the league was last season.

Arsenal have stepped up and have become the team to beat. City have improved from last season. Spurs are playing better this season.
It is safe to say that the league is by far more competitive this year.

Ironically Liverpool had a nice long summer to recharge their batteries, but have since suffered injuries and lost Trent, who was more key to them than they perhaps knew or were willing to admit.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see Liverpool back to their winning ways soon.
