Pep is the greatest manager I’ve seen in my lifetime. I have full trust he will fix the issue.
However, if he’s gone full Mourinho and lost the magic he comes across as a man who will do the best for the club.
He’s given us 5 titles, the Champions League and a treble.
He’s earned the right to choose when he goes after what he has done for us.
Pep hasn’t lost the magic, he’s simply managing a squad past its peak. He’s extracted every last ounce of sweat out of most of these players and for some it’s a season too far.
Liverpool looked way off it a few seasons ago when they had Henderson and Fabinho in midfield. The likes of Salah, Van Dijk and TAA also seen their form drop off a cliff. Klopp replaced their midfield engine room and they look back to their best now.
We need an energetic defensive midfielder, creative midfielder and a rapid LB or RB. That will save our season and start the rebuild. There is potential in Doku and Savinho but we play slow predictable football which allows them to be teamed up on. We get some creativity in the middle of the pitch and it’s game on. A pacy full back and legs in the middle will also prevent the counter as well.
My worry is that we won’t be able to bring in the players we want whilst we’ve still got the likes of Gundo, Walker and KDB etc on huge wages.
