We've solved the highline suicide approach but now we're struggling up front. It's a start which can be built on.

What about the heavy metal football?
Just about the only positive to take from that. Horrendous game of football.
Really poor game from two average teams, mid-table finish beckons for both.

Heavy metal football went two years ago when teams kept parking the bus and we changed to high line possession football. Teams changed their approach this season and we left it too late to change it.
Absolutely dreadful game with special shout out for Naby, Gakpo and even Jones who are all just beyond woeful

Nit a fan but I thought naby was OK. We looked worse when he came.off
But both teams were horrendous.
Mo is struggling but he gets zero help on that side. No one and i mean no one overlaps him to create space. Hes just expected to beat 3 players. Can we at least try get a player overlapping him at some point in game ffs
Trent and robbo USED to overlap consistently....used to.

take no notice of The Verbal Jouster, he only see's a different game to us, he only see's the negative side of Liverpool.
Sorry I thought I was agreeing with 99% of reds when I say that we are well we’ll below par, there’s plenty of reasons for this, but some of these players are simply not good enough
Against a better team we lose today

Agree some of those players would struggle to get near another top 6 team. Eliott, Gomez, Milner, Jones?

Fair point, I have really noticed that change in the way you've been playing, they bombed on all game and whether it's got something to do with the midfield maybe not being as good as it was, a tactical change or just not managing to get forward as often it really seems to be hurting the way you play?

I get that impression it's a pity really as those two were tough to deal with for other teams, pushed them right back and Mane, Fiminho and Salah had a ball with the chances they created

It's because we keep conceding goals and not scoring enough to compensate. I thought that would be obvious to anybody. We've dropped back a bit the last couple of games and I expect we'll continue with that approach hoping when the confidence is back we'll start scoring again. If things improve and the injured players come back I'm sure we'll change it again.
We've made the change too late but good to see it's going in the right direction again. I can see us going on a run towards the end of the season.

It's tactical. Trent moves inside into the midfield to help us try to control possession. It works when you have good movement upfront and a solid right sided CM to cover. It doesn't when you have a teenage wing forward playing as a midfielder who positionally doesn't have a clue, and just runs around like a lunatic pressing from the wrong angles. Or a captain who seemingly concentrated on the WC and is in terrible form for his club. Notwithstanding the RB who just can't be bothered to defend sometimes.
