Ridiculous Liverpool red flag is the biggest disappointment of all

Story by

Liverpool play the same way in every match. Now, there are small differences depending on the opponent, of course, but broadly, you can always expect Liverpool to be in a 4-2-3-1.

Two wingers with pace behind them at full-back. Two sitting midfielders with licence to break the lines on the ball, a no.10 behind the striker. That’s been the way under Slot.

But when we say ‘play the same way’ that’s not actually the point here. The point is that no matter who the opponent is, Liverpool play the same match.

It will always be one with little expression through the middle of the park, a lack of control, and typically decided by the odd goal. Games a frequently open towards the end, whether Liverpool are chasing a goal or defending one.
