This is why the "Szobo has to play because he runs a lot" narrative grates with me.

There's a player ahead of Wirtz whose responsibility it would be to start the press. Unless Slot wants to use the 4-2-4 pressing structure that we saw at times last season.

Favouritism! Horrible 😝

Moving the ball quicker through the lines? Pffft! I was screaming for that last season. It's not Slot's style. There's a reason Nunez looked so bad last season and it was nothing to do with his shooting and all to do with the ball not getting to him quickly enough.

Wirtz is not shy when it comes to doing the defensive work. He can do that from the 10 position AND create.

The tempo is a good reason to play him. He needs to get used to it. Pointless sticking your £100m signing on the bench because of the tempo

You were right. Ridiculous decision.

At last it's match day. Seems like we've been away forever. Again, not looking forward to this one. We SHOULD beat Manchester United, and beat them convincingly, but it's football and this season we've been our own worst enemy. Let's hope for a good #LFC performance. #Redsky

Ah, so THAT'S what happened to Leclerc! #F1Sprint

You're obviously seeing something that the rest of us are not.

Me neither. It's positioning. They're all good players. They won the league at a canter. My concern is that Klopp's tactics are slowly being untaught hence the strong start last season falling off gradually as the season went on.

Don't get your hopes up too much, Jo!

Just so I understand from your perspective, what defensive off-the-ball work does he struggle with?

1

My Food is Ruud @ruudfood.bsky.social · 22h

Ok but we signed Endo instead of Caciedo so there's the more defensive minded player. Apart from Zubimendi, we haven't tried to sign a DM since Dom or Endo joined.

No he doesn't

That was before Dom, no?

My Food is Ruud @ruudfood.bsky.social · 23h

Sorry, who are these defensive first specialists that we've repeatedly tried to sign since Dom joined? Zubimendi? That was before Grav was tried as a 6, but who else?

Yes, it's happened a few times when he's played at right back. Square peg, round hole!

Hold on, the preview is not out until the 21st. Unless you're not referring to FM26.
