Episode notes
INSIGHT

Attack Strong, Defence Needs Work

  • Liverpool's attacking play looks fluid in pre-season but defensive cohesion is a clear concern.
  • New offensive full-backs plus rotated midfield roles have created tactical kinks defensively.
INSIGHT

Flying Full-Backs Create Transition Risk

  • Liverpool's system now uses very offensive full-backs who push high and create space but leave gaps on turnovers.
  • That risk is amplified by an expressive midfield rather than the former disciplined trio.
ADVICE

Delay Defender Buys Early

  • Be cautious owning Liverpool defenders early: pre-season suggests possible clean-sheet droughts.
  • Expect defensive issues to be a priority for Arne Slott to fix quickly, but don't assume instant solidity.
