@OneSGW Have you heard of coaching and tactics and mental preparation? Not saying the players aren’t to blame but look at, say, Bournemouth. Lost genuinely all of their best players in last 12 months and they’re sixth with a top coach in Andoni Iraola. Could pick many other examples

[🟢] NEW: Ajax have made enquiries about Arne Slot in their search for a new head coach. However, the Liverpool manager remains firmly in place and is expected to stay at Anfield. Slot is not keen on a move to Ajax at this stage of his career. [@MikeVerweij on @telegraaf Kick off Podcast]

One thing I will say in favour of Arne Slot… Why are people acting like it’s normal for us to be without Isak, Ekitike, Salah and our first two choice goalkeepers at Old Trafford? It’s difficult to build any momentum or chemistry when people keep on missing out. Even Bradley has been a miss and Kerkez’s knock has made him miss out too. Definitely a tough ask but the first half was just not good enough regardless.

Van Dijk just said they had one day off. “Reports” were saying a mini break. Day off and a mini break are completely different things

Steve Nicol (Liverpool legend) ‘Liverpool need to throw a hand grenade in, blow it up and start again.’ ‘I don’t believe you can do that with Slot.’ ‘Today was the nail in the coffin, I’m watching this team and they look completely LOST.’

[📰] “It’s fair to ask questions about the preparations. A lot of the players had enjoyed mini breaks in Europe after being given some time off after the win over Crystal Palace. If Slot thought that a breather would do them good then he was mistaken. Instead they were lethargic and lacked intensity.” [@JamesPearceLFC] nytimes.com/athletic/72503…

Thought the ref was poor today against us. Yes it looked like a handball from Sesko and Bruno's tackle could have been a red but he wasn't much better with us.
