Some thoughts on Wirtz… [THREAD] 🇩🇪 I’ve heard Slot scream ‘Lucho wide’… ‘Cody wide’ a million times on the touchline this season [no exaggeration — actually, just a bit]. It’s safe to say he prioritises winger isolation in wide areas. This aligns with a broader trend in

This was only half of what I wanted to write and conclude, but it’s a lot less fun when you can only post about 8 tweets without a blue tick and your character length is limited. Anyway, Liverpool’s structure wasn’t bad, it’s just City were really aggressive and we couldn’t cope.

Again LFC trying to aid the right side, both Szobo and Grav go and this time #LFC do get the ball into an attacking position (happened a few times tbf) but because of a bad touch the attack broke down. I’d love to write more but for some reason Elon has taken my blue tick away.

Btw, again, 4-2 structure for Liverpool. Distances look fine. Foden jumps on Konate, Grav looks to the space in behind Doku & pictures a release point for Liverpool, but City put the squeeze on again. Nico comes across, O'Reilly leaves Salah and jumps on Grav = City win the ball.

was fine. That was the general theme for City — press with intensity but drop in a 4-5-1 if you have to. Something similar Liverpool did to Real Madrid in midweek. Not the 4-5-1 but same principles.

We even saw Gravenberch allow Bradley to push Doku back at times and receive in the RB position. Wirtz coming central to cater for that. It relieves a bit of pressure but is Gravenberch progressive from those positions? City picked their moments and sitting off in a mid/low block

Slot needs to do something radical to get Liverpool back on track. He hasn’t found a solution to the way teams are setting up against us since last season. I feel liverpool need a reset in the full back areas until they bring in another ball playing CB. If Jones, Szoboszlai,

Liverpool will not find on the ball security in the backline until Slot does something radical from now until January and then look to bring in the likes of Guehi. They’re also desperate for their own versions of Calafiori/Timber/Gvardiol profiles. One of these must happen. #LFC

Liverpool’s problems. - Chronic buildup issues leading to other issues. - Slot’s passive principles - Lack of physicality in areas especially from the LCM position - Speed & 1v1 threat of the wings - Not enough passers in the team causing rest defence issues. And more.. #LFC

This has been a problem since pre season. Thoughts reds?
Konate and Bradley will need to improve in buildup if we don’t want to be a team that consistently gets countered on next season. Deep progression from the right side needs to be sorted. I like Bradley top of the box at times but we have to make sure there is more security. #LFC

July. But we still haven’t fixed it. #LFC

When you lack technical security and you’re faced against an aggressive press Gravenberch is forced to split the CBs, Szobo is wider and the full backs are higher. It relieves the pressure off the backline. This should have happened from minute 1, not from 2-0 down. #LFC
