Salah will never be able to play as a 10. His touch can be loose and he needs space to perform his best actions. He’s not made for congested areas.
Not sure what Salah’s best tactical role is anymore. His game on the wing has become limited to creating. Will still play the odd killer ball but can’t beat his man. His finishing has declined this season, too. You can’t play Salah inside either —too technically inconsistent.
Ilkay Gundogan. I'm absolutely convinced of it and I will be a supporter of his coaching career as soon as it starts.

Players with more than 2250 PL minutes played this season: Arsenal: 8 City: 6 Liverpool: 1 Certainly not Liverpool’s only downfall but Klopp has had to chop and change a lot, which definitely hasn’t helped.
Said at the start of the season that Liverpool would be title contenders with a new LB, an extra CB & a high-level DM. They didn’t get any & still competed for the title with two incredible teams. The way they’ve fallen short is horrific, but don’t forget the bigger picture.
Many rightly pointing out flaws with Klopp’s game model, but let’s not forget he overachieved for years. The fact he didn’t win at least two more big trophies is not on him. It’s simply a side effect of the era he was forced to compete in. He’s an unbelievable manager. Period.

Would like to see Diaz on the right, with Jota down the middle. Now that he's fit, Liverpool should look to get their arguably most clinical finisher into goalscoring positions as often as possible. Play Jota centrally. He's absolutely wasted down the right.
1. Klopp has overperformed with the squad this season, esp. given a major injury crisis, during which Liverpool largely performed very well 2. Liverpool may benefit from change: new methods, more set patterns, more width & sustained possession, new recruitment Both can be true.
Liverpool’s associative play isn’t good enough to warrant how they set up in attack. Klopp clearly wants his forwards narrow but it means the opposition can make spaces small & it becomes much harder to play through. Vini & Benz might be able to do it but not Diaz/Gakpo/Nunez.
Not enough width in Liverpool’s game today. Certainly wasn’t the only problem, but it was one of them. The least they could do vs the m2m press was to make the distances (& the pitch) as big as possible in the final third to decrease Atalanta’s compactness. Tame performance.
Even if nothing else comes of Liverpool’s night, it’s exciting to see Trent Alexander-Arnold starting a game again. Football has missed him.
Cole Palmer has made his own luck today. Yes, he’s benefited from a tap-in & a Pickford error, but for the second goal, he read the situation perfectly and got himself a deserved poacher’s goal. For his third, he anticipated Pickford’s pass cleverly & intercepted. Great hattrick.
Amidst the Arsenal and Liverpool hype, it’s somehow gone under the radar that City haven’t lost a match since early December. 27 games unbeaten in all competitions. A sneaky good run, and they’re now in pole position for the league once again.
I would love to see KDB play as a deeper-lying midfielder in a couple of years once he loses that burst of pace & carrying ability. Not sure if for City or someone else, but he's got everything he needs to be able to do it at a very high level.

One of Liverpool’s weaknesses - reliably progressing out of the build-up phase in optimal conditions - was exposed big-time tonight. High man-to-man press from Atalanta throughout much of the match & Liverpool didn’t have the patterns to break it.
Liverpool have done well to cope without key players for so long but they’re really missing Alisson & Trent here. Kelleher’s distribution has been very poor - which has been hugely limiting for Liverpool against Atalanta’s man-to-man scheme. Also missing Trent’s deep creation.

Inzaghi's football suits Salah and Nunez to a T. (Suits Trent too as the #6, allows Bradley in the XI, fits Szobo and Mac Allister, protects Konate/VVD).
Not sure what Salah’s best tactical role is anymore. His game on the wing has become limited to creating. Will still play the odd killer ball but can’t beat his man. His finishing has declined this season, too. You can’t play Salah inside either —too technically inconsistent.
Jude has the power to drive right to the byline here, but what’s the point ? He’s got no teammates in support. Slow the attack, wait for them to arrive, amazing how he is able to keep the ball under pressure here. And then play the pass. So good. High IQ.
@rajsinghchohan Raj, what do tempo shifts exactly mean ? playing as per the demand of the game or playing as per your own postives/negatives ?
I think a lot of people who appreciate Poch's Spurs have been reluctant to lay much blame at his door for Chelsea. In some senses, they're right. He isn't a rubbish coach who doesn't offer anything. For me though, what Poch offered was never going to work at Chelsea 😅
system that seeks solely to maximize individual efficiency falls off a cliff when ind. get mentally and physically fatigued for having to always be the solution. vs systems that seeks collective utility maximization being more stable as its prone to less player related shocks.
What a great game Vazquez has had for Real Madrid. Nacho was outstanding on Wednesday too. Proper players: never get the plaudits, been at the club their whole career, always do the job on big nights. The type that win you trophies.
It’s interesting Guardiola mentioning how little training actually happens these days then reading reports the whole season of Ten Hag overworking the players and keeping training intense Correlates for the amount of injuries ‘Otherwise players will get injured’
🚨🔴 Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat and Willy Kambwala miss Man United game vs Coventry due to injury. It’s more than 60 separate cases of injury or illness for Man United this season.
Look at the deliberately wide position of Dier,strange for a CB in a back 4 to be so wide.Mazraoui-Guerreiro-Musiala overload: high technical quality.Musiala receives under pressure & makes the 3rd man run. A play from Tuchel’s brain mapped onto the pitch.
Tuchel bombarded the flanks vs Arsenal, particularly the left flank with his Mazraoui-Musiala-Guerreiro combo. Sané wide with Kimmich in the deep pocket for crosses on the right flank. Arsenal are weaker defensively on the flanks compared to the middle. This is a signature move…
[PREVIOUSLY @AcademyScoop] I've decided to make my profile more personal - the long-term vision is to become a recognised, established journalist, and to do so I can't hide behind a logo. Thanks for everyone’s continued support.
Are you seeing Wayne Rooney??? Ugh, I miss him so much.
@WhattaHit the pass network show liverpool is not provide enough width. salah, gakpo, and jota play more centrally in this game. x.com/statsflood/sta…

Nvm who cares Cole Palmer init
Slipping in the box for two goals at St James’ Park
the best way to maximize that Is the Inzaghi way. Militao - Tchouameni - Rudiger Valverde - Cama - Kroos - Jude - Davies Vini - Mbappe deep buildup, create space for the front 4 to run into, super compact block with central numbers to hide Kroos. great bench depth too.
@thewittyjack Also while you are here? How do you see Madrid with Mbappe next season?
From a Liverpool perspective I wonder how the team will react when we go 1-0 down and the opposition persist with a high press, that’s a game-state I’ll like to see. The sit in a mid/low-block and spring counters approach can work but you’ll have to be clinical.
Nothing much has changed concerning Liverpool, press us high, don’t cede territory for the entirety of the game and you’ve got a real chance. Allow us to reach the 2nd and 3rd phases comfortably and it’s over.
Barcelona's first goal came from this pass out from the back by Pau Cubarsí. Even Lewandowski didn't think he was an option.
Pedri and the art of delay.
Pedri does this constantly. almost always DELAYING actions until the last feasible moment, toeing the line between possible and impossible. he just waits, and waits, almost the way Jordan would hang in the air, waiting for earthlings to come down.
Make no mistake, this is one of the purest difference makers in the sport. Raphinha’s performance tonight should be highlighted amongst the most important contributions from any Barça player over the past few years, he was everything and everywhere — clutch as can be.
i hope Balde watched that Nuno Mendes performance, that is who he should formulate his game-model around. terrific, terrific player!
