Slot must axe 6/10 Liverpool star who made 0 tackles

LiverpoolThe crisis has deepened with a point gained against it Leeds United Elland Road only serves to fan the flames that have engulfed a Merseyside side this season, a team so fragile and vulnerable and prone to collapsing at the slightest glimmer of danger.

After equalization, the light shines Dominik Szoboszlai He was breathless and suspicious, certainly echoing the disbelief of many Red followers around the world. How did it come to this? Why are they? Premier League Heroes unable to complete the basics?

Szoboszlai is the cream of the withering crop on Merseyside at the moment, but it’s clear and proven that he can’t do it alone. Liverpool have a lot of downers, and who best embodies the collapse of Slott’s team Ibrahima Konate?

Ibrahima Konate performing at Elland Road

Konate, 26, is out of contract at the end of the season, and although this season should have been an important one for the Frenchman, winning better terms at Anfield or showcasing his qualities to suitors elsewhere, he has not fallen but fallen by the wayside.

It was an unnecessary challenge on substitute Wilfried Gnonto, which resulted in a comeback for the hosts. This was not unusual for the massive centre-half.

But, blunders aside, Konate also lacks any semblance of control or confidence, and Slott should certainly consider parting with him now, with the star having started every Premier League game so far this season.

When will the errors stop? When will the storm calm down? Konate, for all his problems this season, is not the only Liverpool defender who is good at deception.

In fact, the scrutiny the France international receives, and the intense spotlight on him at all times, detracts from the ongoing problems plaguing another player.

The Liverpool star could now be dropped

Virgil van Dijk has been a pillar of strength for many years at Liverpool, but we are getting a bitter taste of life without such a player in the back four, with the 34-year-old falling out of his invincible form this season.

Which A missed deal for Crystal Palace captain Mark Guehi On transfer deadline day at the start of September, it still looks riskier, and sporting director Richard Hughes is certainly considering a move for the England international, whose contract at Selhurst Park expires in June, this winter, fearing Liverpool’s crisis could turn into something worse.

To say that Van Dijk, Liverpool’s top captain, should be dropped is a bold claim. Some might say rude. Many will disagree.

However, the Netherlands captain has been in very poor form over the past two months, and Konate’s error-strewn displays have masked his shameful efforts. Liverpool were under pressure at times, but Van Dijk did not get forward and make any tackles.

He put Liverpool in danger with a reckless headed back pass in the first half that required a tackle from Konate, and he lost the confidence and clarity to which he was given the lion’s share of his illustrious Liverpool career.

He was 34 years old The match was rated 6/10 by The Liverpool EchoThis was largely due to his air dominance, but this was not a convincing display from the commander, nor was it a good representation of his leadership ability.

Neither centre-back has covered Liverpool’s glory this season – far from it – and with the January transfer window fast approaching, it seems likely that a deal will be feverishly explored, for Palace’s Guehi or any number of other identified targets that might restore some balance to a team that has lost its way – and shows little sign of escaping the mire.
