Overview
- Liverpool have lost four in a row for the first time since 2015 after a 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United sealed by Harry Maguire’s late header.
- Pre-Frankfurt updates point to Giorgi Mamardashvili starting in goal, with Ryan Gravenberch’s ankle being assessed and Alexis Mac Allister recovering from a head wound that required stitches.
- The Liverpool Echo reports Slot is considering changes including Andy Robertson for Milos Kerkez at left-back, Dominik Szoboszlai starting, and even a possible rest for Mohamed Salah.
- Tactical choices face scrutiny as Szoboszlai has been shifted between No. 10 and right-back, expensive signings struggle to gel, and Jamie Carragher likens the £450m spree to a “Real Madrid-like” approach.
- Pundits intensify pressure with Gabby Agbonlahor calling Slot “bitter,” Phil Thompson questioning Alexander Isak’s finishing, and Clinton Morrison urging Kerkez be dropped, while Jurgen Klopp says a Liverpool return is “theoretically” possible in the future.
