CONFUSION IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR REDS

LIVERPOOL have a real problem now - and it starts with Arne Slot.

- 

He won the Premier League title by a massive margin in his first season at Anfield - so why didn't he just leave that team alone?

This current Reds side do not look like they are a football team.

It wasn't like they lost a close match at the Etihad yesterday.

They didn’t turn up at all in my eyes and it looked at times like they had thrown the towel in.

That's not Liverpool and it’s not this team either - or at least it wasn't this side.

The Reds are not coming across as a team where everyone knows their jobs and they don't look balanced.

In fact, they looked to me to be tired yesterday.

Where was the pressing?

We saw plenty of it from City when Liverpool had the ball but that was not the case when the roles were reversed.

Look at the second goal.

Nico found the net following a short corner and the working of a two-on-one.

That's a really bad look.

The positional changes that Slot has made in this team are confusing.

I don't think, right now, anyone can say what Liverpool's best team is, although maybe it was the team that played brilliantly against Real Madrid during the week.

All the players that have been brought in, by Slot himself or by the club, where do they fit in?

He tried to play Florian Wirtz as a left-sided winger against Real, it didn’t work then but he tried it again here and it again didn't work.

Wirtz, who cost 137m - has no position.

Alexander Isak, who cost €150m, has been injured.

Slot took Andy Robertson off yesterday to put Milos Kerkez on, a move that was not very clever.

And I don't know where Dominik Szobozslai was meant to be playing yesterday.
