Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

It's not sustainable and doesn't work without true wingbacks, he's committed to it hence why I want to see his vision with players he deems appropriate brought in. Even with that said a lot of the current players have been shocking for a while now

Tbh I think the summer/the congestion of fixtures over the last year has probably caught up with them. They look leggy. Mount hasn't looked great when I've watched him this season compared to the previous 2 campaigns.

there was a season where that boy had 5 goals, had me talking all kind of foul shyt about him
CR might have held him back tbh

I remember that so many Madrid fans wanted him gone, he proved a lot of people wrong.

Tbh 11 and 5 in b2b season aren't great totals for an elite striker especially in La Liga where it was easy to score for good striker around that time frame.

His finishing has become far more clinical to what it was.

16 goals in 2 seasons?
But he has been very very very impressive since Ronaldo left. I used to say he was clearly third best in that Suarez, Lewa, Benz debate. Now I feel those 3 are interchangeable. They’d most likely have similar numbers if they switched teams

crazy how France has the 1 and 2 best player in the world

if Deschamp knew anything about midfield play and passing pattern, they would walk the world cup. a midfield 3 of Pogba Caqueret and Tchoumeni/Kante with that forward line(a more mature Dembele on the right) would be up there with some of the best world cup teams ever. but instead, he's going to play a midfield 2 with Greizman() in front of them. that man is a football terrorist. real talk. he's not even going to call up Caqueret. a possession base skilled player. he's gonna call up bums like Rabiot and Tolliso.

Everton fans were singing "Super Frank" at 2-1

Taking Anthony Gordon off when he's their best player currently was a mad one

They'd have more points with Rafa

You watched Burnley-Everton instead of Chelsea-Madrid?

He was completely out of form that one season, I remember him missing bunch of sitters. But he's always deferred to Cristiano, having the mobility, passing and technical ability to interchange with Ronaldo made that team tick.

You think the 343 done? Kinda giving me the Conte 2nd season vibes. Teams have worked out to play against it. Not sure of its sustainable without 4 high quality wingbacks.

With the number of defenders leaving might be the perfect time to transition to a back 4 which Tuchel has done at times this season but obviously hasn't looked as secured.

They can go back to a back 4 like against Brentford, worked out very well for them.

Yes


It was an entertaining mess


Don't like watching Chelsea they send me to sleep. Wish I'd watched it for Benzem's hat-trick though. Them headers
