    What I like about Slot is that he's starting closing the wide open back door that we had for a couple of seasons. Gravenbirch has been a revelation too. If we can get another number 6 in to let Mcallister play further up the pitch we'll be flying. That first 25 minutes against Bologna was a sign of where we are going.

      That’s exactly what we need mate. That number 6 signing would put us on the level of Man City/Arsenal. Would allow for more midfield rotation as well

      Agreed. After Trent’s cmt thot Slot is focusing on his defensive skills I’m convinced he’s our game changer. TAA is still young, now he can focus on his position to solidify his place in history.

    When I listen to Slot talk, I brew with plenty confidence.
    I see a Liverpool that isn't shaky at the back, I see a bold squad ready to face every situation vehemently coughing out results when things are impossible on the field and I see warriors who wants to fight to be on top.

    Always amazes me how pundits selectively change how strong the Premier league is to suit their narrative 🤣.
    When they're talking about the league compared to others, "best league in the world by a long distance. Anyone can beat anyone in this league and every team is strong."
    When about Liverpool, "they've faced weak opposition so it doesn't mean much."🤣

    We haven't played any top 10 teams besides Forest who beat us. Slot can't believe his luck, easiest fixtures he could have hoped for, and Chelsea have defenders suspended for the next game. Teams need to see how Nuno got the better of him and we'll see whether he has a plan B.

      The problem with us has always been smaller teams. Random losses and dropped points when we're supposed to win. If we're consistently winning the games we're supposed to win I'm not worried. These players always perform in big games.

    Stevie will ALWAYS find a way to negative the atmosphere on Liverpool🤣.
    "However I would suggest that they've given some opportunities away and Kellegher has made some good saves, Alisson has made some good saves. I don't think they're quite as watertight as we think they are."
    Stevie pal, you do realise Alisson and Kell making saves means factually they ARE as watertight as we think🤣.
    You do still realise that Keepers are part of the defence?🤔😂 they're part of the reason only been 2 goals conceded.
    A "leaky defence" is one that concedes chances and don't have a world class keeper, therefore leak goals. If the keeper is world-class, that Stevie ma boy.... means they ARE that watertight.
    People don't seem to understand this. Every team concedes chances. The ones with the least goals conceded however, are the ones with a top class final defender being the keeper. Simple common sense really.
    "To win the title they have to be better."
    Honestly the stupidity is amazing. They're right now, exactly good enough. They're winning every game. That's the definition of good enough.

      Wouldn’t go so far to say that he is another Ange, but I do agree with most of it. I’ve heard countless Liverpool fans bark about Klopp being better than Pep, and I’m not sure what sport they’re watching. Pep knows how to adapt, Klopp doesn’t; that’s why Pep has won 6 league titles and Klopp has won 0.7

      Klopp's style got him 90+ points in 3 seasons and is the reason why city don't have 7 consecutive titles. And he didn't lose the finals because of his style. Any team with an idiot keeper like karius would have lost that game. They also limited Madrid to only one chance in the 2022 final. So the style was perfect.

    Stevie is right LFC needs to go up another gear to stand any chance of winning the UCL or EPL. For me, LFC are just not killing off teams when they are on top. Both the Wolves and Palace games could have been draws when LFC should have been home and dry. Unless this team learns this lesson we won't win anything this season. The Palace game is a perfect example: Jota should have had a hattrick but the last 20 minutes were a basketball game when the match should have been dead and buried.
