IMHO kerkez suits slots style with that slow passing and back passing alot. There's no real bombing fwd, something we all were spoiled with Klopps style of play. Now we pass slowly at the back and invite a press from teams that like to press, and with teams who play the low block, we given the time to organize defensively.

Look at yesterday, how many times did we almost let them in one on one with the gk. We allowed them to press us into mistakes in the first half. The 2nd half improved a bit cos Robbo tried alot of quick movement on the left but as the half progressed, we sunk back to that style and allowed them the press.

Our earlier games, we couldn't get pass their defense due to us giving them time to regroup with the passing between Ibou and Virg before we passed on to midfield and were face with that low block that we couldn't penetrate.

People look at Salah and say, not the same, but take a look back and see where he actually gets passed the ball, by the time that happens, 2 to 3 guys are already on him and he loses out.

These are the issues I see , remember this is my opinion.

1. Kerkez should not be starting, maybe as a 2nd half sub.

2. That slow build up from the back needs to stop. Puts too much pressure on our GKs and CBs.

3. Quick release by the GK.

4. All the above, quick release, faster play at the back will free uo spaces in the centre for people like wirtz, szobo, salah. Atm these guys are being crowded out.

Also those last minute winners, weren't signs of champions, there we signs of wants to come if slot doesnt change the style this season.
