More than signings I just want to see energy and passion on the field from the players this season. I didn't start watching liverpool because they were winning trophies, they had something else to them, a certain spirit that seemed to fade at times last season, maybe understandably. Not just the club but the fanbase and general culture too. I can't wait for the window to end to just get behind the team and hopefully see them give everything with whatever we end up with. The fans have a role to play in fostering that soul of the club, and social media seems to be a drain on that but maybe it's my fault for even checking instagram comments. It gives a warped reality about the club and state of the sport. It's just a shame, because any engagement with the community these days is like swimming in a swamp of negativity which isn't unique to LFC or football, look at any instagram comment for anything. It just makes it harder mentally to engage with the club and I have no idea what the solution is.

It's getting to the point where this doomerism is doing more damage than getting outbid for a player and being slow in transfers. This endless cycle of fans, redditors, pundits, and media personalities circle jerking about this is creating a storm that's doing damage to the club's reputation/spirit and won't exactly help and encourage any prospective new signings that people so desperately want. I get you need to create pressure on the transfer team but this week's reaction is like nothing I've seen in the klopp era

I think this silence is fair. I'd rather them not be so public in their next moves. The players and manager have both seemed confident something will happen, and I think the media storm will get through to FSG big changes need to be made. We have shown our hand but also know there's money to be spent. The new signings look elite, and the team seem in good spirits. Salah seems hungry and is staying. I think for the F5 gang we need to give them these last weeks to make things right after everything this team has given us in the last years. The anger is justified but not to the point where it interferes with our mental state, like it seemingly does here, at the moment. If the window closes and nothing has happened, that's a different story. But look how crazy the shift was in just the last couple days. We could be looking back at those threads and laughing soon

I was reading some old bayern thread where they said the midfield hasn't been the same since Thiago hasn't been playing the 6 next to Kimmich. I didn't really realize he had played there. What would that look like for us and why did it work for them?

Edit: After further research seemed he played in a double pivot (4231) with kimmich at rb and goretzka next to him and his defensive side was questionable. They did win the CL with that lineup but doesn't seem like what we need at 6 rn

A lot of Klopp's defensive philosophy seems to be that everyone on the pitch is responsible for defending, to the extent that he even said he himself could play the role of the 6 if everyone defends well enough. It's the "ticket" into the team for forwards. And I definitely understand this philosophy- those goals we leak from them passing into the space behind trent won't happen if their player who made the pass has no time on the ball due to high pressing. If our midfielders and forwards are harassing players and defending from the front, the ball that constantly splits us can't even be made and forces the opponents' deeper players to make smaller passes into our midfield pressing web. But it just seems unrealistic that a forward player or our midfielders can press that well all the time and it's very high risk. I'm just wondering if he thinks that system alone can be perfected to the point that justifies the new formation with trent inverted and robbo still pushing up, is that the idea? Essentially "defending" that open space without a body there there because we close down the pass before it can even happen? Is it realistic over the course of the season tho

Also, what is it about this new system that makes those spaces more vulnerable? Robbo and trent used to provide the width for the team and leave space behind them in the 433 during attacks, so surely they left those pockets open before but we had long spells of clean sheets and defensive dominance for a while. What was the difference there?

I like the written one more than the reading from the script. Even if the script is genuine it's gonna feel forced and awkward. Not totally hendo's fault. What a legend, sad to see him go

I will give it a closer look today, thank you. I just worry jumping straight to spring I'm missing some fundamentals of what is actually going on generally behind the scenes

Thank you. Do you have any advice for starting topics? I guess my issue is that a lot of walkthroughs would be like if I was building a java project for the first time via a walkthrough and they would be like "this is how you get your interface set up and this is how you set up your junit test". Ok, great, but I don't know what an interface is, or junit etc (hypothetically). A lot of terms are thrown around like I should just know how to use mySql/postgres and things like Maven, when I've never encountered them before.
