When you don’t practice the basics, you can’t do the basics.
Reminds me of a Brady video where he says practice was harder than games because practice prepares you to outdo opponents in actual games without a second thought.

Defo need a real DM during the summer. Fabinho kind of tackle guy

It’s been a problem for a while, even in Klopp’s last season. So may players backing out of challenges or not even bothering to make one.

Reacting vs anticipating.

The last tackle ive seen was Conor on Vini. Endo did this 2 seasons ago but apart from that no one on the team is known for making those actions

Because Slot tells them not to. It is very clear. He seems be very big on avoiding contact injuries.

Intensity comes from coaching, they aren’t coached to be aggressive.

Aside from Kerkez I can’t even remember the last time I saw a player go to ground to win a ball. Fabinho would be at that shit 10 times a game

None of them are natural tacklers, we have a load of number 10’s playing different positions.

Because we don’t have the right players and the team doesn’t practice for it
Endo is the only player in this team that does any decent tackling and goes for 50/50, but he is injured and Slot doesn’t play him anyways

Midfield is soft as fuck

Because they’re not fully focused on tackling to shut it down, and there is no cohesive press or containment strategy.
They’re trying to do 2 things at once which means they do both half as well, and none of our midfield is decent for tackling outside maybe Macca, or Endo. They want to steal the ball, and do it in a way that allows them to keep possession to go forward. Because of that, they’re just flying in and not actually thinking about where the secondary player pressure is. Dom is just running like a chicken with his head cut off, completely ignores the fact that Wirtz has the left angle blocked and just stacks that side. Wirtz’s positioning is irrelevant now. Now, since the idea is to steal the ball and counter you’ll notice Salah isn’t tracking Silva’s run to the right. So Dom opens up the entire right side for advancing the ball and Salah wasn’t there and now like 3-4 players are behind the play. Sometimes it’s fine to do that when you want to force players wide, but this is just mindless and forces players out of relevance to the play because the midfield is still open.
The team has no defensive structure. It’s basically all reliant on the idea that if we lose the ball high up, we have a lot of space on the field to throw a couple players at them and maybe win it back high up and we can attack easily. Obviously we can’t win the ball back high up the pitch throwing 1 player at a time while the other players are in irrelevant positions, so we just get dissected instantly by literally every team. It’s why our midfield gets blown by every single time and teams literally need like 2 passes to cut through the middle.
This team needs a modern Gennaro Gattuso in the midfield(the player not the manager who couldn’t take Italy to the World Cup) . Someone who isn’t technically amazing but makes about 20 tackles a game and can clean up everyone’s messes. Someone who is solid as a rock off the ball. Someone who teams fear. Someone with a bit of an attitude and toughness. Everybody fears Rodri. Nobody is scared of a midfield pairing of Gravenberch and Macca , two technically brilliant players who can barely make a tackle and cannot protect a back 4 even when played together to do just that
