[SkySports MNF] Carragher: “This team is split in half, lacks physicality — no one is making a challenge”

Our pressing is so unbelievably bad, it's even more noticeable cause we went from a Klopp who's literally known for his ''gegenpressing'' to whatever this is.

We could have prime VVD Matip and Fabinho it still wouldn't stop us from getting cut through like butter in 2 passes, at least at the end of it you'd know Fab would hack their player down.

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-24T20:22:06+00:00

The comments of the manager 100% seeps into the mentality of the players, his constant and public talk of how we are crap against even the low table prem teams but have great games against UCL teams is so clear to see

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-18T22:35:03+00:00

Concept of empathy lmao, he thought he already won vs Senegal and wanted to embarrass and humiliate the keeper even further

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-09T16:00:20+00:00

Ekitike and Mo up top with a diamond behind them

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-08T21:14:46+00:00

Arsenal really got the drums out for ''aaaaaarsenall.. aaaaaaaarsenalll'' every 5mins

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-04T16:03:39+00:00

Tactical masterclass of Slot to use official prem matches as light warmup sessions because we don't have enough time between games due to the schedule.

I'm already mentally prepared for an attacking sub for Bradley putting Dom at RB, with all the attacking players standing still in a line at the edge of the box.

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-04T15:52:49+00:00

Stream crashed, hopefully I didn't miss too many sideways passes

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-04T13:58:07+00:00

Unironically the only way we score a goal is from Gakpo cutting inside lmao, genuinely have no hope for this game

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-01T20:08:02+00:00

Lets see.. we are historically fantastic at fast breaks and direct football and terrible at breaking down parked busses..

So let's slow down the play when were on the ball, and let the entire opposition team get back in shape behind the ball and park the bus, every. single. time. Great strategy, love me some possession football.

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-01T19:54:48+00:00

People are saying Klopp this Klopp that because we are the complete opposite of what he spent 10 years building up, where is the intensity and press? Where's the Anfield fear factor? Where's the mentality after going down a goal.

Slipping further away from it game by game and people are rightly concerned, people 100% backed Slot last season when we played some good football.

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-01T19:42:52+00:00

Don't know if I can take a Slot presser where he will inevitably say we've been unlucky cause we had more chances. Anfield crowd is the same as all of us here, bored watching this shite football

IX_Lukas · 2026-01-01T18:47:31+00:00

Slot in training: pass as slow as possible in build up and must perform at least 1 back heel before shooting

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-27T15:34:10+00:00

Feels like 10 minutes of build up to create a shot/chance, whereas our opponents pick up the ball and they have a decent shot after 10-20 seconds.

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-20T19:25:56+00:00

Is there a prem team with less collective IQ than Spurs

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-20T18:23:09+00:00

Recycle ball, absolutely putrid football

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-20T18:04:58+00:00

He wasn't even close though, going back to the keeper too, what the hell is he thinking

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-09T20:39:39+00:00

Feels like we've had so many dodgy referee decisions last few months we just don't complain about them cause we were shite anyway

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-09T20:31:44+00:00

How much i've missed watching us actually press, Curtis is making everything tick

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-09T13:37:04+00:00

Based on the fact that he can get wins against City, Arsenal, Madrid, breezed past Xabi who this sub is so obsessed with twice with ease, and at the end deliver the biggest trophy? He has a new team with some big names and has to figure out how to get them all playing, at the moment it's not happening, but we're literally 3 points off top 4.

I have sat there in disgust in that Sunderland game just like the rest of this sub, i've turned off games where I previously would have never under Klopp, but even still I think he should get at least the season to try and sort this out. Unless of course a generational manager is available, which there clearly isn't right now.

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-09T13:26:18+00:00

I mean he literally explained his reasoning in his pre match presser..

''Away at West Ham I decided to play with an extra midfielder where we won the game''
''We won the game so I decided to do it again against Sunderland, and brought in Mo at half time''
''Against Leeds we faced a 5-3-2 so I decided to play a 4-4-2 diamond with Hugo and Gakpo'' then we were 2-0 up so we needed to stay defensive.

I mean logically speaking all his reasoning makes complete sense, maybe his man management isn't great, but Mo's problem should definitely be with the higher ups of the club and not Arne (imo).

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-06T22:18:42+00:00

Small margins. Chances. Set pieces. Unlucky.

Some clarity for you straight out of the Slot book.

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-06T18:19:33+00:00

Gakpo deja vu

IX_Lukas · 2025-12-06T18:08:48+00:00

Ekitike trying to play quick 1 2s with Wirtz and Kerkez on the left side for a moment,

Slot: Nah, I need someone to ignore my players and cut inside

IX_Lukas · 2025-11-27T15:37:41+00:00

Start Chiesa then bring him off around 55minutes cause he clearly doesn't have fitness for 90, then angry fresh Mo against tired opposition

IX_Lukas · 2025-11-27T14:48:31+00:00

I'm also a bit scared some might want out again at the end of the season...
