oh i’ve been manifesting this for some years now

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool agree loan deal to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona, HERE WE GO! 🇺🇾

Verbal agreement club to club with Barça now approved by director Deco.

New centre back for #LFC with a surprise bomba.

[Alex @y4lexo]

@HendrickD82 who are you opting for?

[Alex @y4lexo]

@YouIblame we do not have the players for that, will require a squad turnover after we've just had one.

[Alex @y4lexo]

he can't handle it anymore. it's beyond tactical at this point, for a squad with so much quality and character to look this mentally fragile. we might be in a no return point.

[Alex @y4lexo]

team is stuck in a deadly middle where it can’t manage or sustain a high-tempo model, and no mechanisms for a control-based one bc slot can't master either, and the only variation that previously worked has been found out.

[Alex @y4lexo]

wirtz is a great connector and a composed dribbler in a team with no composure that doesn't facilitate connections, he's great at invading space and demanding the ball in central areas in a team that rarely provides that platform. let's talk when there's some substance.

[Alex @y4lexo]

@intime020 yes

[Alex @y4lexo]

wouldn't put out a definitive we're back statement as both villa and madrid played to our game and weren't as long balls oriented as teams we've suffered against, but solid foundation to build on esp final 3rd in possession dynamics which full potential can be unlocked w isak.

[Alex @y4lexo]

@ItsBis02 he's too isolated, not enough proximity to play his game

[Alex @y4lexo]

litteraly found a game model that works and completely fits current profiles yet:
-insistance on fullbacks on the first line when they're not passers.
-insistance on mac and different szo roles/starting positions.

Liverpool Slot 2.0

[💎 @ItsBis02]

Ekitike is our best attacker, provides consistent positive impact with every appearance. Other than Isak’s fee, there is no justification putting him on the bench for b2b games

[Alex @y4lexo]

a shift to central progression will be the turning point, won a title with the wide approach but lost profiles that made it work, mainly trent's creativity and diaz' carrying; wirtz and isak have these characteristics, even an upgraded version, just from central areas.

[Alex @y4lexo]

@ouisoldcoutinho didnt he do exactly that?

[Alex @y4lexo]

@_tsimulatinplay rectify it before it's too late? he did v burnley. make the gakpo sub earlier and not let palace dominance last that longer and eliminate any chance of coming back in the game.

[Alex @y4lexo]

Slot with an Amorim esque presser. Tunnel vision approach in the hope Palace don't go long with a low tempo, wasn't the case yet presist on it for a whole 45mins leaving players hung to dry without a clue of what they should do then indirectly blame them for the result.

#4

[Alex @y4lexo]

@NiHADlfc he's getting the rw spot when salah goes to afcon esp now with both isak & ekitike it'll be optimal.

[Alex @y4lexo]

after watching right back dynamics last two games, i hope you see why i was adamant frimpong won't/shouldn't be the starting right back. need underlaps, passing range, someone comfortable behind the ball & in midfield and doesn't sell himself easily in def 1v1s.

[Alex @y4lexo]

@Poots__ yh, also wrt dynamics with salah it doesn't force him inside and offers that dynamic 2v1 potential.
