Liverpool returns to its original origin? 5 major strategies: midfield restructuring + adjusting fullbacks, the last call is very high!

After Liverpool suffered two consecutive losses, many people called on Slott to re-examine the current lineup configuration of the Reds, and fans also generally require the team to adopt the tactical idea of ​​"returning to the origin".

Although Liverpool currently ranks first in the Premier League with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, it is a bit far-fetched to talk about the "crisis", there are indeed something to worry about in the performance of the first few weeks of this season - a series of problems caused by the formation adjustment are waiting for Slot to come up with a solution.

The following are several "return to the origin" adjustment methods that Liverpool can adopt:

[Continue to last season's midfield trio]

One of the major problems Liverpool is the lack of midfield control, and the opponent can often easily complete counterattacks and allow frontcourt players to control the ball steadily.

This season, Liverpool adopted the "double midfield + attacking midfield" configuration, with Florian Werz as the attacking midfielder. Although the German player is as aggressive as his teammates, he can't provide solid defensive coverage like Curtis Jones, Alexis McAllister or Dominic Sobosloy.

If Heraffenberg, Sobosloy and McAllister form the midfield start, the Reds are expected to regain the initiative in the midfield, especially against Chelsea - the Blues have a strong midfield combination of Moises Kessedo and Enzo Fernandez.

【Adjust Florian Werz’s plan to use]

There is no doubt that Werz is a very talented player, but for the overall benefit of the team, his training plan may need to be temporarily adjusted.

This does not mean that he must be completely substitute - the left side may be the position the German player can try.

But for now, Slot should avoid using Wilz as the team's offensive core, at least after he adapts to the Premier League rhythm and regains his confidence.

[Add Robertson's playing time]

Recall that in the summer of 2017, when Robertson first joined Liverpool, he didn't get a stable chance until December. Jurgen Klopp spent enough time to help the agile young left-back integrate into the team at the time, and now Slot can fully adopt the same strategy against Milosh Kelkez.

Although Kelkez is not the only responsible person for the team to lose points, among this team with many new players, Liverpool does need a more experienced player to sit at the left back position.

Although Robertson's performance last season was not at the peak, he was far from "slosing in form" - his performance when he came on as a substitute against Atletico Madrid and Burnley was remarkable.

【Fixed Right Back Selection】

Speaking of full-backs, fixed one right back candidate will also be helpful to the team.

Sobosloy was transferred to the right back position against Newcastle United, Arsenal, Burnley and Galatasaray due to injuries to Connor Bradley and Jeremy Flynnon at the beginning of the season.

Although Sobosloy performed well at right-back, it also means he will leave the midfield - you know, he can continue to provide vitality when he partnered with Heraffenberg in the midfield, and Liverpool will lose this key advantage when he missed the midfield.

Flynnon's performance after returning from injury was not satisfactory, so at present, Bradley should be the first choice for the right-back position - Slot should use him regularly.

【Let Mohamed Salah return to the threat area】

Although Salah's contribution of 3 goals and 3 assists in the first 8 games is not bad, his overall form is far less than last season.

The Egyptian star's performance seemed to be "lost his soul", which is likely related to his position on the court. The return of Mohamed Salah to the most threatening area is very loud among the fans.

This season, Salah is often placed in a wing position near the sideline, making it difficult to frequently insert into threatening shooting areas.

' return to the tactical system of last season will undoubtedly help the player with the highest annual salary to recover. Give full play to the advantages of core players, which is a necessary prerequisite for the team to succeed.
