Slot made a very deliberate point about stretching Ipswich's man-to-man approach away from home in the second half.
It'll be interesting to see if he makes any changes to the narrow FB pairings that we've seen.

Turns out Nunez isn't starting. Shame.
I'm quite excited about the prospect of a Gakpo-Nunez-Salah frontline. The first two give Salah lots of target to play to in and around the box, more so than when he does his far-post cross.

I hope people understand that dropping points against Nottingham Forest - while we should have won - isn't by any means a disastrous outcome.
We have so many advantages over Arsenal, it's unbelievable.

Not to get ahead of myself, but if Danns plays the same number of minutes for Liverpool as Rush did, he's on track to score 1614 goals.

I'm still absolutely convinced that Nunez succeeds at another club (maybe our club...) in a front two.

It was in transition, but just get people close to Nunez, give him a passer and he'll do well.

How's the Nunez slander on here compared to Twitter?

You know when people say that Salah's basically a pseudo winger, more like a ST? Yeah...
Not like he was our widest player against Leicester or anything.

Nunez against this Leicester line could be something to see. Relentless pressing of them when out of possession likely leads to direct attacks on goal, too.

I'm still deluded enough to think that Salah can catch Shearer.

I would definitely position Trent deeper today in buildup - make those distances as wide as possible for Spurs, because Spurs will press him, and they will leave gaps.

This is a Liverpool team that's pretty well built to play between lines, combine, receive on the half-turn, stretch the defence with the ST and play beyond Southampton's press when needed.
It's just nice to watch.

I actually think his career has been mishandled at every step by the managers + club- none of his natural strengths were ever moulded into something more. I think similarly about Bruno Fernandes (not to the same extent though).
Been coached to play to his worst instincts.

Not going to lie, I'd take a chance on Rashford at the right price.
Poor fella has never played under a good attacking coach.

There is something satisfying about (reportedly) not moving for a CB/LB hybrid. Kerkez would be exceptional for the likes of Gakpo or whoever is seen as the long-term LW.

I know Robertson has been on the decline for a while, but Slot seems to hold greater value in having FB's who can attack space via underlapping/overlapping at pace than having defensively resilient LB (Gomez).
Plus, injuries means we're light at CB.

Man City are just so poor in all areas. This isn't simply "but one or two players and it's fixed" - they need 5-6 players.
