We asked for your views on what Arne Slot needs to change to get Liverpool back on track.
Here are some of your comments:
David: We have world-class individual players. What we don’t have at the moment is a team. It is as though they have never met each other. Arne Slot needs to drill this into them in coaching days.
John: Liverpool have to sign Marc Guehi and move Ibrahima Konate on. Both full-backs are weak defensively but we are probably stuck with them for the time being. Possibly sign at least one full-back in January and Hugo Ekitike has to start up front.
Beattie: The simple solution to the right-back problem is to play Joe Gomez. He keeps things simple and doesn’t disrupt the whole team. Slot tries to over-complicate things. Curtis Jones is not a full-back and is not good enough to start for the first team!
Ian: Since John Heitinga left to join Ajax, Liverpool haven’t been so effective and these are big shoes for Giovanni van Bronckhorst to fill. They need to go back to basics to begin to show some improvement.
James: A third of the way through the season and Slot still doesn’t know his best XI. He is playing proven players out of position to accommodate newbies who simply haven’t performed. It was a mistake to buy Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz doesn’t fit. Constant tinkering by the manager means he is losing the confidence of what should be key players.
Kevin: Slot needs to bench Mohamed Salah and get the team used to playing without him as he will be away at Afcon. As for Konate, we need to either sort his contract out or get rid as he’s not helping the side. The next two games are decisive to see if Slot can turn the slump around.
