Liverpool have been predictably torpid of their 3-1 defeat away to Chelsea on Sunday, with fringe gamers doing their future possibilities little good.
There have been worse losses, that’s for certain.
After successful the Premier League title final weekend, Liverpool performed like a workforce who had spent the week celebrating, by no means really getting began at Stamford Bridge.
It was an opportunity for squad gamers to stake their declare, as Arne Slot rotated with six adjustments, but it surely confirmed why the Reds boss has been reluctant to take action till the title was received.
Liverpool followers reacted to the defeat on social media and in This Is Anfield‘s feedback, arguing that it highlighted the necessity for change this summer time.
Individuals debating whether or not Slot ought to have rotated extra in sure video games, assume that solutions why he hasn’t. At all times troublesome with wholesale adjustments I suppose however none made a powerful case for themselves.
Anyhow, Premier League Champions ?

What we came upon in the present day…
1. We’re nonetheless pissed.

“Slot gave some gamers an opportunity to show their value, however honestly, none actually confirmed up. That midfield was an abomination.”
– Yasmin within the That is Anfield feedback.
We made a couple of too many rotations in the present day however Slot understandably needed to see how sure gamers carried out vs an excellent workforce away from residence and solely Endo stepped as much as present his high quality from the perimeter gamers.

Least a few of you will note why Slot by no means rotates
Quansah
Tsimikas
Elliot
Jones

All not adequate to begin video games

“This sport confirmed precisely how weak our 2nd alternative gamers are. Elliott, Tsimikas, Quansah and particularly Nunez and Jones are simply not adequate to play for Liverpool. They need to promote these guys ASAP and purchase new gamers for extra depth.”

Not directly it’s good for Slot / Hughes to see how our fringe gamers play within the subsequent 4 so we all know what number of we have to transfer on.
Judging by in the present day – fairly a couple of which in all probability justifies Slot’s lack of rotation

Not one bit bothered by the consequence, however I feel a few of these fringe gamers who had the possibility in the present day and can get them within the coming weeks must be a bit nervous. Combating for his or her future however provided little or no.

Truly don’t assume Liverpool performed that badly in the present day. Clearly missing a medical edge – neither Jota or Nunez masking themselves in glory at CF – and defensive errors for Chelsea’s second and third. A superb probability for Slot to evaluate his squad. Thought Endo performed properly.

“Squad wants a large overhaul in the summertime if we’re to compete on a number of fronts subsequent season.”
– Dave Vaissiere on Fb.
At the least 5 of this Liverpool fringe gamers should go. The drop off is simply to immense to handle

Whereas not an excessive amount of must be learn into this consequence, it was nonetheless a disappointing afternoon for a number of squad gamers.
Jarell Quansah was on the scene of the crime for 2 objectives, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott have been poor in midfield, whereas Diogo Jota once more struggled in assault.
Slot might have already made up his thoughts concerning sure people, however both manner, he’s unlikely to be impressed with what he noticed at Chelsea.
He and sporting director Richard Hughes have large selections to make for the summer time.
