Pre Match Pre Match - Saints (A) - Sunday 2pm

And living off performance from more than 12 months ago. Form is temporary and class is permanent or something. Seems like the good games are the exception to the norm.
 
Referee: Sam Barrott. Assistants: Lee Betts, Wade Smith. Fourth official: Darren England. VAR: Michael Oliver. Assistant VAR: Mat Wilkes.
 
Yes but under Klopp and a different style of football. I just don't think he suits a Slot team for the reasons mentioned. Or not as much as the incumbents should I say.
Yeah, you maybe right, but there is another angle, if Slot thinks he can manage without a runner, and some degree of athletic ability then he is wrong, this league requires that you have that energy, in the Arsenal game Slot chose the same midfield as Klopp did last season, and it was almost performing as badly and like last season Mac was shit. Its not until he bought on Szob sometime in the 2nd half and then we became more dominant.

Have to disagree - Harvey was one of the better players in preseason in that advanced role.

I think Harvey will be critical in the second half of the season.
 
Once again the forum downplays Elliotts ability. He's more technically gifted than Curtis, has better vision, and has a work rate as good as anyone.

He will be fine and he'll work his way in. The lad just likes a challenge. Borderline get injured on purpose so he has to work his way back in. He did it under klopp, and he'll do it under slot
 
Bottom meets top on south coast
There is already a 24-point gap between bottom and top as Southampton prepare to face Liverpool. Trying to find hope for Russell Martin’s side going into this fixture is tricky. At Wolves they failed to have a shot on target despite having 72% possession and they will not dominate the ball in the same manner on Sunday. Southampton’s style is about passing and patient buildup and it is unlikely Martin will ever change, even if the club’s Premier League status and his employment are at risk. All teams need an element of surprise, whether they are first or last, in order to keep opponents guessing, but Southampton’s predictability is their downfall and explains why they are bottom. Reacting when something is not working is a sign of a good coach. If Martin can bring himself to be more direct with the speed of his wingers and strikers, they could spring a much-needed upset.

Ali back in team training but out
Van Dijk in
Trent out
Elliot back in team training but out
Jota out
Chiesa back in team training but out.
 
Hmm not sure about that at all !
Curtis is absolutely in the form of his life, but there have been spells where he struggles with his decision making and holds on to the ball too long.

Elliott often was the perfect accompaniment to Salah and Trent and interplayed beautifully, as well as being creative with passes in to the box.

In my mind there's a world where Elliott and Jones can both play and compliment each other fantastically, with gravy behind.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Elliott is a mini David Silva and we would be fucking insane to not utilise him more
 
From the presser.

No Ali on Sunday.
No Trent
The boy back in the team training. Chiesa bits with the team today.
Virg is grand

Elliott and Jones in the same midfield sounds a bit to open for me, and Slot said Jones as the 6 wasn't really his best position.

I agree a 6 wouldn't work for jones, but there's no reason as a deep lying 8 it couldnt work. Worked wonderfully against chelsea for example.

-------Gravy------
----------------Jones
--Elliott------------

The problem is jones and harvey need to get a little bit more muscle mass (not too much though). I think it could work, but i'm also not paid to give my footballing knowledge.
 
Isn't he back in training? Slot said as much and he was pictured with Salah a few days ago at the AXA.
So he's not dead dead. Yet.
 
I've got no concerns about Elliott winning the Slot this season. Neither Szobo nor Mac Allister is putting in performances that make them untouchable. Jones has shown that the Slot will reward form, and he picks up niggling injuries every year. There are loads of games and opportunities ahead. He's a massive Liverpool fan, Elliott will stay and fight as long as needed.
 
Keita is actually back in Liverpool apparently

Hate it. He should have been barred from all Liverpool FC locations and events

I think he just forgot to turn off auto post. That was set up when he was still here to remind us he isn't dead.

He didn't think we'd release him on a free.

No mate I was also on about you saying Elliott is more technically gifted than Jones. Not in this lifetime IMO !
