This was a really good cup tie until that red card decision… yes it was late, he knew what he was doing but c’mon!! Soft lad went down and rolled 15 times.

Rubbish, that’s a crap decision.

Rio Ngumoha vs Wolves 💫 #LFC #Liverpool #Wolves #FACup

Tuesday night: 20-4 to Liverpool on shots.

Friday night: 20-4 to Liverpool on shots.

Wolves had 0.44 xG in both matches too. Weird.

Rio Ngumoha made eight progressive carries tonight.

That's more than Salah (six) and Gakpo (seven) have made against Wolves in two matches this week.

Rio most certainly has a pathway. He’s 17, he’s ahead of Gerrard and Owen at the same age. Even bench experience is something. The reason people want more is that those ahead of him have been off it and results are poor.

This season I agree. Last season he used the bench better. But the plan was to have Danns as third choice 9 and give him a pathway like Rio. Given how depleted we have been it’s a shame he wasn’t fit to find out.

Saying he didn't and then saying he gave them minutes in cup sides is exactly my point and what we haven't had this year imo. The likes of Endo / Elliott mopped up 15mins here and there to close out games or help turn them (Elliott at Palace) and rest others in cups.

Given the patter was all about the Ashes down under. We failed spectacularly.

Stokes and McCullum forced Jimmy to retire against his will because of that series, for no reason whatsoever. Someone has to take the fall for that alone!!

I honestly think we have a strange culture right now, too friendly & all this being able to play in a relaxed way with freedom, but we don't want to put pressure on people to perform.

I just think elite sport needs pressure, give them a dozen games, that is fine but people like Crawley - too long!

Nice, I love that. What a nice memory and an amusing one.

Slot did use Quansah, Elliott and Endo more last year and he could've used Morton more imo but they all wanted more.

That aside, Slot has talked a lot about Dann's though, unlike the others, he seems to really like him, but whenever the opportunities would be there he's been injured. Hard to say

I can see West Ham and Forest getting results, which means Spurs need to be better than Leeds to stay up.

Everyone talks about the pathway for Rio and how we could use him, but boy would Jayden Danns be useful right now if fit. It’s not just Isaks injury that has hurt us, his injury has also cost us the ability to rest Ekitike in games, even for 10-15 mins. #LFC

Our biggest failure in the summer was not adding depth, we concentrated on first class replacements, but we were still a CB, midfielder and winger short.

The new format meant no rest weeks in the groups and also featured for the first time in Jan. it all took its toll due to lack of rotation. That part has affected the whole of Europe imo. Also those in Europa / EC etc.

All attacking sides have all struggled since it’s increased games.

What we did was swap players but also lost the depth and strength off the bench we had. I think this season is simply we changed too much, too quickly, we lost Jota and injuries in key areas have compounded it all.

We're all looking at results, tactics and solutions but some won't come until June.

Personally i think the performances got worse due to the increase in Champions league and less breaks, that wore sides down as the season went on and we looked jaded, we went out of cups and rest reappeared and we got over the line.

Arsenal for example, went and added more players, City too.

I am talking over the course of the season. Endo or Grav at CB or last 20 where Ekitke is about to blow. The last 20 last year we turned so many games from the bench, this year is the opposite because we are often covering positions or don't have a natural like for like.

I watched us have two keepers on the bench and a youth player who has made a handful of appearances for multiple games and you want to say options are not a problem.

I have and will point the finger at Slot for things this season but he 100% lacks options because of poor planning.

We've been playing square pegs in round holes for ages and you want to truly assess tactics right now.

It's fine you want him out now. Until we have options from the bench and rotate more, this won't get much better until the summer.

I am advocating fixing a squad that lacks depth. Bit of a difference. Poor old us with our 450m spent in the summer and here we are calling for the youth more because our established international players are knackered or out of form.

I replied to Kevin, I can't keep replying to you about agreeing with Kevin. It's too much.

I am not comparing managers, I am comparing situations.

I don't but where's the raw pace to replace Mo / Cody / Hugo right now. If we can rotate players we can ask them to play a certain way.

I've watched Klopp and Pep for years, they would take players off and bring like for like pace, wingers, full backs or strikers. We can't right now!

Did you complain when Klopp lacked pace out wide & we struggled away or when he attacked, we conceded goal after goal on the counter? He didn't change the way he wanted to play, he carried on, then changed the individuals in certain areas.

You could argue Slot is at a similar year 2 build point.

It is a load of nonsense. City and Arsenal are replacing Internationals with Internationals and you're here saying use the youth. And yes, I would use our youth more in certain games but the very fact we are calling for that shows the desperation to try something different, doesn't make it right.

If you look at my timeline I have been consistent in slamming rotation & the use of the squad could've been better for sure, but there's multiple issues. Between Slot & Hughes they thought we had all bases covered this season when really we've not replaced positions that Klopp had issues with.

I don't have time to post 700 posts on it all. Slot is frustrating with his lack of using Nyoni, Morrison, Ramsay or Rio in certain games but the squad lacks options.

You talk absolute nonsense. Only Bradly and Leoni... Wolves away had no Isak, Wirtz and Endo two of which are 100m signings casually forgotten about. Frimpong could only do 60mins as he's just come back. No back up 9.

Squad depth is a problem! Everyone can see it.
