Episode notes
Transfers Altered Liverpool’s Creative Spine
- Liverpool's summer signings have shifted where creativity originates, moving progressive passing into midfield and disrupting last season's balance.
- That change, plus weaker fullback progression, has exposed structural problems rather than one-off player failures.
Player Roles Are Overlapping And Constricting
- Alexander Isak and Ekitike occupy similar right/inside channels which crowds Mo Salah and reduces overall attacking fluidity.
- Florian Vietz often operates away from the ball, limiting his impact against deep blocks despite his suitability for those situations.
Meta Tactical Shifts Demand New Structure
- Moving progressive passing into a new position changes the whole team's meta strategy and requires players to be repositioned around that shift.
- Without fullbacks or a deep pivot who can replicate previous passing volumes, the system becomes less effective.
