I know - on social media channels they were saying that he said that Q had lost too many duels when in fact he said "We were losing too many duels". The some started saying it was Q who was losing the duels as the reason for the substitution. Fucking joke.
Moron vs Slot & Co. (training, Seville, Ipswich).
It was against Ipswich, try and get that into your head, and in any case if he is the only suitable player in that position right now, its no good coz at some point he is gonna need resting or get injured.
I think Moron is on the gravy train.

Poor Endo.
He kind of makes that point a lot - it’s not about the individual, it’s about the team - “the only reason” is an oversimplification - they f a player stands out its a lot to do with the team playing well and other players being good as well.
Yea but you can have a load of shit out there and pick out the one player who actually tried and did things. I thought that was the case with Gravy in the first half last week.
Yeah, but I think that’s different to the point Slot’s making - we were shit in the first half - that wasn’t Gravy’s fault. We were excellent in the 2nd half and Gravy was one of the ones who stood out, but we were excellent not because of him having a good games, more to do with everyone playing better, and he had better support around him, therefore the conditions were right for him to shine.
Slot’s very carefully trying to shift focus away from individuals.
It’s probably something that’ll take getting used to because Klopp would always heap praise on a player that had a great game.
He was very good today, but a big judgememt will come on his performance against Man United away, where he will be up against a team that will want to prove a point and also have a very loud crowd on his back. If he manages to keep his composure in that game and deliver like he has then we can assume he can do that role.
He likes to come for the ball, takes with either feet and can ping it with the best of them. Let’s hope we are watching him grow into this fluid role.
I like we have that triangle players that can pick a long accurate pass out of nowhere, Gravy, Trent and Virgil.

There were a few times when play bypassed him too easily, along with some missteps that don’t show up in the data or highlight reels, but we continue to benefit from having a technically gifted midfielder at the heart of things.
We just recorded one of our highest passing accuracy rates since OPTA began tracking, with midfielders who are only 12 months into their Liverpool careers—one of them still learning his trade—and a manager only two competitive games into his tenure.The number six role will likely need more competition, but if we remain patient and continue developing Ryan in that position, we will at least have a very solid option.
This approach also maximises the squad’s resources, allowing Jones to compete with Mac for the number eight roles. After two years of sporadic football, the best thing for Gravenberch has been to be given a set position and a clear pathway into the side, and so far, he’s taking that opportunity. Clyne getting injured was the making of Trent. The failure to land a six this window, combined with Slots arrival, could well be the same for Gravenberch. The challenge for Slot will be sticking by him if those little errors prove costly against the better sides, but for my money he should. The long term pay off can be sizable.

I thought there were a few occasions where he dithered on the ball, and almost tried to be too safe rather than trust himself to make the incisive pass. I think Endo is being treated a little shoddily in all this- he really deserves more minutes, and I think he's still the player I would like anchoring the midfield against more dangerous opponents. Still, I'm really pleased to see Gravy making some strides.
If truth be told, I'd probably rest Macca, or keep him on the bench as a weapon for a few games, and play Endo and Gravy. Macca looks like a guy who has played 24 months solid. He hasn't been himself at all.
Sorry but I don’t understand this 'being treated shoddily' or 'didn't deserve this'. What does that actually mean? That he should be played ahead of Gravenberch?
It's Slot's job to develop this team to it's maximum and we all know that isn't Endo. So whilst it's great to keep him on the books as back up or to come on to save 1st teamers energy, he's not being treated badly, and I'd rather Gravenberch get all the available 1st team minutes to develop, failing us buying an established and better #6.
Then it should be Elliott for Macca not Endo.
I'm sorry Froggy that somebody has the temerity to disagree with you, but when it comes to the tough games this season, Endo is a more natural 6, and I happen to think he has a few years left at the top level. With Utd coming next week I'd like Endo to have been given more minutes.
I think he does deserve to play 6 ahead of Gravenberch, as whether or not Gravy is the future or not, right now Endo is the better 6.
I'm suggesting Endo for Gravy's position- if he is so mad keen on playing Gravy, then he can play him instead of Macca for a few games.
I don't know about changing the line up. I too think that Macca hasn't been as prominent as we expect him to be but we're playing a game a week at the moment. There's no need for rotation because of fatigue, not yet anyway.
We need to let Gravy get used to his role and even get tested which he will be against Man U. If it doesn't work he'll get subbed just like Quansah was.
I believe that Slot wants our core players, or for lack of a better term, our "starters" to be more cohesive, especially with a new-ish style of football.

I feel like you posted this knowing you would get a like...I gave it anyway.
