worst Premier League start to under Jurgen klopp. You can see
there 10 points they've earned from a possible 21 and it's
the worst start by quite some distance. Actually by Five
Points. Their second worst was last
season 15 points but we know of course how well
they ended the last campaign.
But so far in this one sitting ninth in the Premier League and
just two wins on the board. This is the boot room presented
by Jack Daniels fondant and we are here in our little living
room side says we like to call it Raphael
I must owe me Rebecca Lowe, let's talk Liverpool. Then
the question is, I mean they've dropped points or I must I'll
start with you against Fulham against Palace Ken's Manchester
United against Everton against Brighton now, as well. Ninth,
what's the reason?
I think it has to be a combination of things?
I mean, some of the team's you read out there, you just
wouldn't expect them to concede to the, I mean today was
a great example. Brighton, conceding three goals, that's
what's different. I think I scored 18 goals, so the goal
scoring part as you might expect with him out attacking
players, they've
got, there is still there.
But the team balance and that defensive Highline that we kind
of poked a little bit last season Rebecca's being
a vulnerability. There's so high
now, for your cup talks about the high pressing is not
the same Midfield. Pressing is not the same,
so on but opponents have opportunity to make those
through bores.
And I think combination of advanced
version Van Dyke is look nowhere. Near
is top ability, I think Trent nose under Arnold
not these pain. A lot worse Rebecca but because
the pressing is not there, he's beginning. Exposed more for not
being in that, right? That right back position. The
natural question though is why they're not pressing
why are they not doing that as much?
There's a slight difference up front. And again, listen,
I haven't got the all the answers here. Starting money was
a great presser
not saying that, Luis Diaz doesn't work, really hard. So
it's a bit mystifying, I've got to be honest and you can cop
asked about it. He kind of got very animated in certainly
defensive Shatner's under Arnold but in general,
that things aren't going well. And I think they got to take it
on the chin. They got to be a little bit more humble. I think
about okay, let's get Back to Basics a little bit and track
runners, not just play the offside trap all the time,
is what they've done in the past which has worked well, but
now it's not quite grooved. They're getting caught out all
your thoughts, Rob.
Is most evil. Look at
day two. In fact, I'll look at what assume my eyes were Becker.
And it used to be heavy metal football. It's now
pop music football. It's not got that intensity.
Liverpool playing with that intensity, used to
run the game out of people pressed the game out of people.
When that goes, there are very different team, these
individuals not playing Milan, and it's not easy to criticize
a lot to visual Van Dyke, because you've been magnificent
since he's been
at Liverpool is nowhere near his bass.
Trent Alexander Arnold is
Is nowhere near his best. Henderson into yoga are not
affecting the games as they were. Maybe that might be
injuries as much as anything else most seller is not at its
best Rebecca. So you get those key people in the team, you
lose the intensity, that's made, you special, this
made you different and all of a sudden they've got a problem
now, you ask a question, why? And I'm not suggesting, this is
the only reasonable
to play like Liverpool. You have to go deep into a place
where it hurts you where it's difficult to go. We can week
out. We've been doing that for for, for, for Five Seasons.
I just don't know if
you can go continually to that place in, keep getting that
same amount of effort. It's funny. You mention that,
because they would have had to go to
that place. All of last season in every game that they
possibly could play and they played in and it is still being
brought up money, still being brought up that they sold him
but it is still being brought up that they may be are still
hungover
in a fatigue way from last season.
Don't know if you buy that. No, I just think when you've had
an offseason a chance to recharge A batteries. Those players. Do
they have much? Wow. He's had a few weeks, didn't they the ones
that were busy? I know what you mean? You've been there? You
tell me? Is that enough, time, two or three weeks to recover
from what they went through? So
I never played internationally another kind of schedule, so
it's tough for me to really give that. All I know is that
when I finished playing, I needed few weeks off
and then I slowly build myself up again,
I just
preseason trainer a back. It's a long period of time to
condition yourself, ready for the start. So I'm not really
having that. What is a bit of a concern in the worry is
We saw in the Champions League against Napoli, the considered
four goals.
It's like, there's not that many people injured by the way.
Can I take as a Central Central Defender could come in to make
a difference but like they're all kind of there now. There's
been injuries to
in part of the team throughout the season,
but I mean, it's not as though he hasn't got the options, we
Sub in your plate today with Henderson play today Midfield,
it's just
not gelling together,
maybe a combination of that, but it's just not the same team
and it becomes now, another big test for you again, clop, he's
had a brilliant time.
Liverpool Football Club. We went on record saying last year
number of times he's the best halftime manager in the Premier
League because he makes decisions. He changes things,
he can affect a game,
he's got a Now, find ways of affecting the game about it and
getting Liverpool back on this on. Its that with, we gotta
stop conceding goals.
It's like it's just our
but we've also got to do other things at the other end of
the pitch. Stop people coming up, be difficult to play. That's
the hole in the same thing of like this work on the high
pressure that's the try and get Midfield like
that's gotta be where he's gone. Okay. Yeah, conceding
the conceding a lot of goals, they won the Premier League title
2020, then City one, if the last two years he's been there
since 2015. Yes, is the Autumn of 2018.
One primary title since he's been there
are they not do another?
You've got remember that,
I've been up against one of the best teams of Premier League's
ever seen them. Okay. So they're not due to challenge
for another charge last season. Yes, didn't challenge the year
before
then they want to hear but some reason he gets it, he's got
long term contract. They're expected to challenge, but
I thought where you're going to go with that is
Is his message getting a little?
Yeah. And so is it's a tough question possibly. I love
the way you just created
to say, given what a great motivator in a reactor that he
has been
and these one or two
legs in the team that looking back thinking the melon there
can't quite have the effect Henderson's having less effect
on the team, okay? Yes. Or no. Are they in the title race
still?
No, no.
Out the title race already and
in October wow Liverpool have big problems. That was the boot
room
presented by Jack. Daniel's bonded,
the two Robbie's feeling strongly today about Liverpool,
