Actually they noted that the only one that puts more distance in during a game than Dom is Wirtz

One of the things that has been called out is that they were not pressing as high to begin the season (injuries to macca, ryan, etc).
That would absolutely play into it.
Notice the Leeds game had much more forward pressing. A lot of fast breakouts.

There was probably plenty that was lost in translation (his choice of words not being a native English speaker).

Or it could be that life hit him all at once. A teammate passes, a new system, form off by a smidge.
Managers decision to sit him (for strategic reason).
Would sure explain the frustration
December 8, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Well, of course, the dog doesnt know anything about footy.
December 8, 2025 at 8:58 PM
True, but it is possible.

They have it very good in England. Not sure he's want to trade that for the restriction of Saudi Arabia
December 8, 2025 at 8:43 PM
Unless he was absolutely greedy, why would Mo go to Saudi. He's already stated that he likes Liverpool (the city) because it is cooler. That he hates the heat. In his interview with Gary Neville.

Just sayin'.
December 8, 2025 at 8:25 PM
That hints at a bit of team captain involvement. I'm not sure that was just a managerial decision.
VVD needs to have the temperature of the team in mind and might have said something.

Carrager gets paid to talk. Professional hot air.
December 8, 2025 at 8:11 PM
I cannot wait until Leoni is fit. He is going to be so good.

Two trick

- Cut right, go across 18 yard box
- take it to end line and try to cut pass back in

lather, rinse, repeat.

The one Cody gave him...
December 8, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Bradley Healthy is an oxymoron at this point.
Hopefully that changes.
December 8, 2025 at 4:11 PM
The data nerds have a part to play also.
I would hope squad building is a team approach, otherwise we are ManU.

Big miss on not getting another CB.

Unlimited Federally...
December 8, 2025 at 4:05 PM
That's been the theme, slots management style hasnt changed (except for sitting back more and not pressing like last season while trying to acclimate the new players).
The players are the biggest change.
December 8, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Agreed, he was still scoring. But last season we were 100% better at ball movement than we are this year.
And we also had more people forward when Salah had the ball on the right (more threat).
This year he's gotten the ball but his trailing support has been lacking.
December 8, 2025 at 4:01 PM
I think grief is playing a part, but I think the main theme is team passing has not been where is was last year.
The Leeds game was the first time this year that I saw a concerted effort to quickly advance the ball and break the lines.
December 8, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Trent being gone really broke his scoring dynamic. Conor, Jeremy and Joe, just havent recreated it (yet).

People discount the fear that Trent to Mo put into opposing teams.
December 8, 2025 at 3:45 PM
Lot of ink being spilled over nothing...
December 8, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Gakpo? Awful -- Agreed
Konate? Double Dire -- Agreed
Kerkez? Shocking -- Agreed
Virg? Clueless (apparently) -- Agreed

What his fascination with Cody is. Every defense has him covered now. It's a lost ball every time now.
