Although we seem to have digressed from the principal point.
I think we both can agree that Slot didn’t want to play Quansah at CB if he could help it.

Ok, so Klopp was only playing Quansah for experience not because he was worth a place ahead on Gomez and Konate?

It’s unacceptable that the team with the third best squad (which gets decimated with injuries) comes 4th?

Perhaps. From his point of view the move was a good one.
I seem to remember him being VVDs main partner at the end of 23/24. Not sure what stats say. Either way he didn’t a look in last season.

Maybe we are moving from a pressing team.
I would imagine these things are all discussed between all parties.

Also didn’t Quansah want to leave for more game time? I seem to remember something along those lines

You can’t say Hughes got the players Slot wanted and just right off the Guehi saga.
Whilst no one will know but I believe Guehi would have started loads while Konate was making error after error leading to goals and giving teams something to hang onto.

If Hughes signed the players Slot wanted then what was the story around Guehi?
Did Slot not want him?
Could have done with an experienced center back when Konate was making error after error leading to goals earlier in the season.

Fans will be the key. If Canadian and Mexican games are filled but US stadiums are empty then FIFA may take notice.
Fans boycotting sponsors would not go a miss.

He may be getting a lot of game time through lack of options.
Diaz was played in the center quite often last season. This season he was sold. Maybe Gakpos minutes will dry up once Salah is back and on form.

The question actually was whether Klopp played Gakpo as much as slot has this season.
I pointed out that Klopp even played Gakpo as an 8 to get in the side.
Gakpo started as 8 more than once in 23/24. At least during the first two games
Point is that Klopp liked and played Gakpo a lot.

Been that way for a while. And fans wonder why they get fleeced by clubs.

I wasn’t sure on the timing, also Gakpo didn’t play 8 at the start either.

Would just be Nunez. Salah, Jota Diaz and maybe even Mane?

Are LfC obligated to wheel Slot out for pressers. Can’t they not send out a press officer?

Yes, and there replacements were lined up. Frimpong and Ekitike.
I am not sure if we could have kept Diaz as he wanted to go and perhaps we needed the funds to replace Jota? I am not sure but would have liked Diaz to stay.

Yeah, also at the fee Bayern offered LFC. But Diaz was perhaps the only player out we would have wanted to stay and who could have been kept- maybe.
But Diaz was the last player in would felt like genuine succession planing.
The midfield rebuild was when we suddenly saw Hendo and fab had no legs

… next season will be defense and one or two attackers.
Then the team will need to gel.
UTD had this at the end of Fergie era. City also seem to have the problems now.
