Lamine Camara will change our life #LFC

This is a Rio Ngumoha post.

Mind-boggling that it’s taken this long for fans to realise this. But it was easier to blame Slot last season, when he had the same midfielders to work with and had to contend with deficiencies in both attack and defence.

Slot the called generational coach and unpredictable spent all season long doing the same mistakes again and again and again until he got sacked. all season long couldn’t adjust or change the way we pressed/with the ball. I do criticize Iraola, but Slot revisionists are funny.

Klopp inherited the weakest squad of the three and built Liverpool into title contenders from scratch. Slot inherited a ready-made squad and won the title without removing Klopp's DNA. Then he brought in his own philosophy and his own players, and the club backed his vision like no one before. It failed badly. Iraola's situation is bizarre. He's inherited the expensive signings who didn't fire under Slot, and players like Gravenberch and Szoboszlai on big new contracts who still haven't found their feet in his system. There are gaping holes in the squad on top of that. Worse, he's expected to fix it almost immediately, because he has "expensive players" and a better squad than Klopp ever started with. Under Slot, these players were outrun week in, week out. Iraola's whole game is built on outrunning the opposition. He's being asked to wave a magic wand, shake them out of last season's slumber, and turn us into world-beaters overnight

Trey Nyoni completed 40% of Liverpool's line breaking passes tonight (19). More than Alexis Mac Allister (6) and Dominik Szoboszlai (5) combined. He just has to be a regular going forwards.
