What this channel is all about: • We're Building a Commu...
A huge irritation of mines this season, is that Szobo is being slated for being out of form, but that's only happening because Klopp is suppressing his natural game. He's trying to turn him into Henderson when his strength is attacking.
Just look at him when he's playing freely with Hungary. He's extremely talented.
Oh he’s super talented for sure and one I’m really excited for in the future. I think he could be one of the PL’s best. Excited to see what Slot can do with him.
YES, YES AND YES
@@zoltanobru9274🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
while Salah is crap and gets a free pass
@@ThatsWhatSheSaid9492 yep
Totally agree with your forecast - especially with Szobo in that role........and same for Conor Bradley..... a no brainer for me....the kid has it all IMO.....a star in the making......
Aye mate!
I have no idea a bout Slot or how good/decent he may be. I do like your line-up. TAA was originally a midfielder and feel Bradley is a better defender than TAA. I'm a huge Jota fan and yes, no more injuries.
Thanks! I think there’s so much for Slot to work with here!
Damn your ideas & analysis are 99% similiar to mine. I agree with u 100% on this. Exciting times ahead lads!
In Michael Edwards We Trust
#YNWA
Thanks mate!! YNWA!
Try TAA at midfield in preseason already . Jayden Danns there's a lad I like to see more of
Great idea! And YES on Danns! He might have a breakout campaign in the next year or two under Slot. Very exciting.
Don't we already have a DM who held off Rodri while pocketing KDB and got him substituted? The same DM to thundered into Fulham's Palhinha and winning the ball for Pool to then score. This said DM will be part of Slot's double pivot for 2024/25
Well that DM is getting old and won’t be here long term, so we need another proven 6 alongside Stefan (and Tyler) for the long term. Getting one now would mean he’s integrated into the squad by the time Endo retires and can directly replace him.
Yes Endo has had brilliant moments this year but the numbers don’t lie. I don’t think we can count on him in that role for every match.
Endo is 31 and last month proved he can't last full season as a regular starter in this intense league with his age he's a good squad player nothing more stop deluding yourself
Also when Feyenoord switch to a cdm and two breaking mids rather than the pivot, schlot prefers a press resistant strong cdm. Now Liverpool don't have that particular profile atm, Stefan might grow into it, or Gravenberch bulk up a bit, both are press resistant though.
@@GlynnParry-bs6xg Stefan might be that guy. He’s big, fast and up until his injuries was excellent.
Although end of season was poor and some players let the team down, next season looks promising without changing too much. We are also forgetting the League Cup boys plus Doak and Bajetic who missed the whole season through inquiry (Doak might feature for Scotland during the Euros). If the 1st team guys aren't on the ball, they will push them for their spots.
Yes! Exactly. We have so much talent we don’t need a ton of reinforcements.
What about Gakpo through the left, Diaz to the right, and Salah to the center?
Salah doesn’t fit Slot’s model for a striker but I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing Gakpo and Diaz as our wingers.
Cannot understand why this bloke did not once mention Elliott?? I think Elliott is potentially our best 10 (despite this bloke taking of that role as an 8, it is not, it is most definitely a 10). Elliott is better than Szobo as the passer in that area and just as good a finisher. He also has the legs for the role and the football intelligence. Under Klopp’s 4-3-3, the biggest problem, has always been where to play Elliott. In a 4-2-3-1 that goes away as the 10 role in the middle of the 3 is the obvious answer. I would much prefer to see Szobo used as the wide right man (which he did show as an option if Salah goes) - that is also a position to make use of Szobo’s stamina, speed and long range shooting. Another candidate for the 10 role could be Carvalho; I also agree that both Salah and Jota could also be very good in that role - par Jota. They both have the same ability as Elliott to thread incisive passes through pretty congested areas, and to pose a goal threat inside and outside of the area (as do Elliott and Carvalho). I agree that Gakpo would fit the bill as the striker or as the LW role, and although we all know Darwin has massive potential, I think the chances of him suddenly becoming a quality finisher as well as providing better control are now odds against, and certainly Gakpo is a much more likely bet to come in.
There is no room or place in this for Jones, Tsmikas or Morton and they need to be sold asap to provide funding for any reinforcements and also to free up pathways for our rising stars. I disgree with this presenter on the CB positions; first I think Quansah is a better fit than Konate, second I think with Konate, Quansah and Van den Berg (plus Gomez if need be) we have too many RCBs and far from recruit another, I would sell one of Konate or Van Den Berg. I would instead recruit a LCB where we have only Virg and badly need cover and an heir apparent. In order of preference I would go for (in order of preference) - Calafiori, Pacho, Baraldo, Huusen.
Also sell Phillipps, and one of Beck/Chambers (we keep one as replacement for Tsimikas).
Your feedback is fair mate!
We need an upgrade on Diaz. He's a good player, but not good enough. We need a top class physical midfielder at 6 like Rodri and Rice.
Yes agree on both fronts. Someone dangerous like Mane was.
I would put Endo as a no.6 n MacAllister as a CAM..n Szobo as a RW/RF why Szobo creates spaces for the striker for Gakpo or Jotta.. n he can add a CAM option to pull CB from their positions,
That's fair - but I'd rather have a stronger player in at the 6 that Endo. Sure, he can fill in, but I don't see him as a viable #1 at that position.
We need another decent left back. The lad from fulham?. We need a big cdm aggressive who can move with good passing range. That swedish striker from sporting too. Natural finisher.
Agree. Can’t wait to see what Edwards is able to do this summer.
@@AllRedShow probably not a lot unfortunately. Really pisses me off.
@@simonpage5870 don't doubt the man! I think with him and a new manager, FSG might be willing to splash a bit - especially with us being in champs league and who knows ... maybe we sell Salah.
@@AllRedShow Hope so mate.
TAA in the midfield seems spicy. Slot would be the one to try it but do we lose too much creativity at the RB spot?
I’m just glad we have TAA at all. He’ll be great anywhere.
- no....Bradley will do the job just as well - maybe even better, especially at defending....TAA is a midfielder......
@@panchopuskas1 agree with you! I think it’s time to put Trent further up. But I’ll be happy either way. He’s so good.
See your point. However the creativity moves further up the pitch. The wide guys invert and look to feed through the st or attack the half spaces. The full backs provide the width and crossing, needs a big engine forward and back. For all Trent's strengths going back isn't one. Moving the creativity further up the pitch also created the chances much closer to goal, increase in conversion stats? Harland misses lots for City, but the chances are in the area, so better conversion chance?
@@GlynnParry-bs6xg Trent was almost playing the striker position at times today vs Spurs 😂 it’ll be fun to see what Slot wants to do with him.
Konate is too injury prone inlove him but you're right we need cover
Yep not the most reliable across 9 months
Slot could bring Hancko from Feynoord he would fit perfectly - hebcan play side back or center back, strong, fast, good on ball etc.
Hancko is possible. I’m not super keen on him tho. A bit too old (26) to fit into this squad as it takes a year or two for players to adapt.
Lloyd kelly from Bournemouth left footed cb wanted by Edwards in 2020. A free agent come June. Could be a wildcard option if Vvd stays and covers lb.
VVD at left back?? That’s amazing.
@@AllRedShow no just a left footed cb who can cover big virg.
I like the entire formation except one position, Gakpo has shown a big improvement in his performances yes, but I think it's no coincidence his form improved with his position being Left Winger more often now. He still looks really shaky when Klopp deploys him in center of the pitch areas. Just play him on the left and give Nunez a shot in Slot's system first I'd say (I dont think Gakpo starts over Diaz, but it's a lot closer than most people think)
Yes!!! Fantastic idea. Great point on Gakpo - although I think Slot can turn him into an excellent strikers, my first choice would be to have Darwin just come good and be a beast up there.
Defence needs work you can not keep coming back from behind ( LFC conceded early to many times ).... up front Sale Nunez or Salah, then get Isak .... .... he is going be the next up and coming great
Would honestly love Isak ... but I don't see Newcastle selling to us.
I generally agree with your additions. However, my concerns are around Jones. Gomez and Gravenberch. Also Konate needs to temper his challenges.
Agree. Konate needs to calm down a bit.
For me it’d be:
Alisson
Trent Konaté Virgil Gomez
Macca Gravenbergh
Salah Szoboszlai Lucho
Gakpo
Including signings:
Alisson
Trent Konaté Virgil Hincapié
Macca Wieffer
Salah Szoboszlai Lucho
Gakpo
Having Robbo and Bradley as wing backs and Macca and Trent in the double pivot wouldn’t be balanced. It’d be way too offensive minded and wouldn’t solve our defensive issues.
We seriously have to start addressing our defensive vulnerabilities! just 1 clean sheet in our last 13 games showcase that.
We need a pure 6 to break down the opposition and regain control. Mats Wieffer could be that guy, lots of similarities to Rodri, Fabinho and even Rice. Love Robbo but we’re so much better with Gomez on the left, he can also invert and overlap if needed but offers way more defensively.
Interesting take!
How are we better with Gomez over robbo?
For me, I feel Arne will work more with Morton, Bajcetic, Carvalho, Gravenberch, Jones, trent,macca, Szobo. He likes young players. Endo, Salah, Robbo moves after 1 season with Arne. Make Bajectic take up Endos role. We need a whole new young players. They are hungry to prove themselves.
@@kossyumeh9150 yea I have a feeling you’re right.
12:30 I'm also a tad worried we missing an elite destroyer to make Slot's system really work. Slot has said he watched a lot Pep and De Zerbi teams, and both played with exceptional destroyers in Rodri and Caicedo. Mac is good, but he's not a destroyer. If there's any position I think Edwards will spend on, I'd put money on CDM, unless Morton or Bajcetic are ready.
Yes I completely agree. I would love an enforcer in the midfield similar to a mascherano, prime Fabinho, etc. Fulham’s Paulhinha is intriguing.
Would be nice to get Andre from Fluminense, pitbull of a defender, ball winning DM and great control with his feet. +1 for already being linked with him and for being much younger than paulinha
Interesting. Forgot about him but I just don’t think he has what it takes for play for Liverpool.
I think musolosky would be great in that 8
Interesting!
@@AllRedShow I think he will fit in to slot's plans.
I see a Messi in him if he's well drilled to be the star ⭐ player in the squad. I think if we don't make good use of him and let him go it would affect the club
When Trent was part of a 2 at the end of last season he had better stats than Kdb. Love the video and analysis just like to add Slot likes to play with flying wingers who carry the ball.
That's what I'm saying!!! Get the man into the midfield, we're sitting on gold with TAA we need to unlock him.
Salah and Nunez must go and introduce Elliot and carvalho.
Gotta keep Nunez!!!!
Why not put macallister in the more forward position and Darwin down the right if we dont sell salah him in the middle gakpo or jita on the left trent could also play the more forward position innthe middle same as Elliott or carvalho
That could work for sure! Just wanna make sure we’re using all the talent we have in the most efficient way possible.
We need a proper striker - Gakpo is good but we need another one. I dont trust Nunez anymore. We need Sesko, Gyokeres, Isak or Fotis
Gyokeres or Isak would be crazy
I think a true DM in the midfield 2 might be needed. Mac Allister and Trent feels too attacking for me. But it can be adaptable mixing and matching the midfielders.
Gakpo drops deep and he would be mostly occupying the space Dom Szoboszlai occupies.
True on Gakpo. But with Macca, Trent, Szobo, Salah, Diaz all being able to make runs off of Gakpo I think it could be really smooth.
@@AllRedShowI kinda agree with him, Slot play with a Box to box and a Ball winning midfielder who is confortable with the ball so I feel TAA and Macca is too offensive in this
That’s fair!
@@spinoasunyt2334 you forget, Slot plays that way at Feyenoord where he doesn't have the same calibre of player to work with. He won't translate everything he does at Feyenoord to Liverpool, because he has different players. Better players.
@stuart_edward Well, even that doesn't change that the midfield will be offensive. Look at Arsenal and City, they both have ball-winning midfielders that fit their playing style, Liverpool had a great Ball-Winning Midfielder fitting to their playstyle when they won the title. The double needs to be complementary with one more offensive and a midfielder who is more focused on defensive style
Maybe Nunez on the left? Diaz on the right? Salah in the centre forward position?
Don’t think Salah is a center forward. But I would like Nunez on the left.
My concern is our cb not having enough control behind. I would sell VDD keep konate cuz he still young as rotation. Liverpool could get 2 more strong fit younger CB ti go in the starting 11. Then get a DM we should kick off next season with big bang
Would be hard pressed to sell our captain, especially with a Dutch manager coming in. VVD is one of the best in the world still and has more to give.
Nallo. 2 up and coming cb in Nallo and Quansah. Needs a right sided ball playing cb. Preferably not off to AFCON every two years. Hear a lot about Pacho at Frankfurt?
@@GlynnParry-bs6xg could be good. Will have to look him up
I think Tyler Morton could be a number 6 or part of a double pivot
Yes!! Definitely promising!
Personally we get a new centre forward we a some1 suarez esque worldclass.
If that happens watch out!!
Who starts for Slot and where? Would love to see your thoughts! Comment below!
Im guessing for a 1st game under slot, he might stick with the tried and tested..trent at RB, macca and endo double pivot.
@@humaidighafar9812 yep that’s a fair assessment
Good to see lads but ive got this feeling that slot isent the right manager
Any reason why?
Because he is. Hanging a team that's ot broken
@@GarySmith12-oe8cx he's inheriting an amazing team Mate - just need to iron out some mentality.
Well see but I hope your right as my life surrounds Liverpool f.c
@@GarySmith12-oe8cx live and breath!!
Concern is DM, we need one natural dm there not Mac Alister
Yep
Why no Elliot in the number 8 role😥
Has he ever played the number 8?
We need a new LB and new CB
Agree
Slot could bring Hancko from his former team
The team we already have can be blend Better cause me some of these players has flexibility but for me Koop is too blind or stuck in his ways
Maybe … time will tell. Klopp ran out of energy.
We need DM
Agreed. 👍🏻
Alison gr8 with the ball at his feet?. He scares the shit out of me every time lol.
Kelleher seems calmer with the ball at his feet.
Ha! I know what you mean. But it’s only because once a year he’ll make a big mistake. He’s an excellent passer of the ball.

Our number 2 is better thn the 1 with the ball at his feet. (Goalkeeper)
NAH cmon now!!
Great video, bro, but I'm not certain Slot plays TAA as part of the double pivot. At Feyenoord, Slot used his RB as a faux CDM, playmaker, and I think he will do the same at Liverpool. Slot is a Pep disciple, and just like Pep made Cancelo a faux midfielder/playmaker, I see Slot doing the same. I can see a left-field thing where Bradley plays at LB. Slot, again like Pep, loves stretching player's ability, and I can see him wanting Bradley to take a stab at LB. Usually one of his fullbacks overlaps and enters the final 3rd, and that's Bradley to a T. Bradley will excel at short passes and forays forward. Bradley is tailor-made for a Slot system.
Thanks bro! Yea I’m really excited to see what Bradley can do under Slot. He’s already so gifted and I think he goes next level this upcoming season.
Nunez instead of Gakpo...
I hope Darwizzy can justify that!
I'm not sure why you took so much time on Trent in the double pivot. You even brought up Robo playing in the mid when talking about it. We know Robo isn't a mid, no one evwr brought that up and the Trent in midfield discuss has been going on for a couple years. You're not making a new point so you dont need to explain, wr get it
Because it’s a new formation, not a 4-3-3. We haven’t been playing a double pivot but likely will under Slot. And the Robbo in mid was an example of someone who wouldn’t fit in a midfield role, to show that Trent is different and capable. Thx for the comment! 🙏
@@AllRedShow lol, but every single Liverpool fan knows Trent has that ability and Robo doesn't. It's just funny to me that it even needed to be said. And yeah, it's a new formation, but I've still heard people talk about a double pivot with Trent, and never with Robo. It's such a a weird example. Trent was a mid in the academy, so we know he has the potential. Not sure why we need that example.
@@skapenguin Fair - it was a simplistic example. I don't script my vids so sometimes I can ramble. Appreciate the view!
You immediately lost credibility by saying that Allison is great with his feet. - Count back the number of errors that he’s made over the years by trying to play the ball on the ground. - VVD has been rubbish for the last two seasons. - Konate is a flop. - TAA is not a midfielder and cannot defend properly and should be sold. - Robertson has become injury prone and is nearing the end of his LFC career.
Ali makes 1-2 mistakes per season with his feet. Other than that, he’s an excellent passing GK.
Macca is better further up the field
Yep I agree - but he's also able to fill two roles at one position. I think we're just so stacked with talent the issue is how do we maximize every position.
J.QUANSAH is better than Konate.
You might be right on that ...
Gakpo is not a striker he plays best on the left stop putting him up top its infuriating, play Nunez consistently up top in this system and he will reach his full potential
I get it … but look at what Gakpo did today vs spurs up there. Assist and a goal. He been getting better each week.
@@AllRedShow he got that from the left wing, as soon as he moved there things got much better, Diaz then tried to fill the space in the middle which was just strange because why even play him at that point and not just let Nunez play, Diaz was just running around as he usually does without being very efficient, with Gakpo doing so well on the left just let him be there he is a left winger, let Nunez be the striker and they can help each other, when Nunez came on he was put on the left wing for some reason and Gakpo was the striker, its just madness it doesnt help these players whatsoever, Slot must fix this and let them be where they are at their best, we got players for each position so use them there
@@kampinak I can see your point for sure. Darwin’s been up top a lot this season and hasn’t performed. But I still believe Darwin can come good.
@@AllRedShow Nunez cant perform when he isnt allowed, I have never seen a worse treatment of a striker anywhere in the world, this is textbook wrong management and handling of a striker in a team, you cant keep taking him out of the team, cant keep hurting his confidence and disrupting his rhythm, whenever things arent looking great he is the one who gets scapegoated, nobody at Liverpool helped it, cant imagine City doing this with Haaland even when he is completely useless, Pep will make excuses for him, the players will come out apologizing for not carrying him hard enough, Liverpool do the exact opposite, everything is on Nunez and if he only gets one chance in a game and doesnt score it the team isnt the problem its him not being able to get to 100% conversion rate, its a whole asylum and Liverpool deserve all the bad thats happened to them this season, better get their shit together for the next one or it will be another disaster
