Zhan Jun: Sobo should be the most stable core for the Red Army in the new season. The most important thing is to improve the defense.

October 26th: In this round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost 2-3 to Brentford. The Red Army suffered a 4th consecutive league defeat. Commentator Zhan Jun wrote after the game.

Zhan Jun:

From five consecutive wins to four consecutive losses, the ranking dropped to sixth place. Slott is in big trouble! From the fact that Bradley, Sorbo and Gomez were played at right back in this game, it can be seen that Slott was confused.

As mentioned earlier, he is not able to "feel the pulse" accurately. He cannot recognize the current "trend" of teams in the Premier League to play high balls at the beginning. The defense lacks response drills. He has conceded the first goal within the first 15 minutes of the game for four consecutive rounds. In the past two rounds, two penalty kicks defended by high-altitude balls were caught by the opponent.

Which eleven players should be the team’s strongest starters now? Slaughter must now solve this problem. Personally, I feel that midfielder Rissobo has been the most stable since the beginning of the season. He should be the core and he should not be allowed to play as a guest right back.

Both Kolquez and Salah scored tonight, but their respective tasks on the defensive and offensive ends were actually not completed well. Robertson and Chiesa can replace them. Although Jakpo has a single routine, he is currently the only hot spot, and he needs to have more connections with Ekitic.

Of course, the top priority of the coaching team headed by Slott is to reorganize the defense. Now every opponent feels that the Red Army's defense is "weak" and has opportunities to take advantage of it. Liverpool will not be able to escape the losing streak unless it ends the momentum of conceding goals in 9 consecutive club games.
