Main issue is that Barcola’s main superpower is running / spinning in behind however the supply from players around him isn’t good enough. He’s not a standstill-type of 1v1 player - think you see the glimpses over short distances but when space shrinks he looks less productive.

-Grav (Doesn't fit the midfield roles)
-Frimpong (Lacks physicality and ability to maintain fitness)
-Tsimikas (Not good enough defensively, especially when isolated)
-Chiesa (Doesn't play and is injury-prone)
-Endo (Doesn't play and doesn't fit the midfield/center back role in possession)
-Szobo (Useful for sure and an excellent player, but no obvious midfield role in the 4-2-3-1 and looks unlikely to be used on the wings or at RB)
-Kerkez (Fits the intensity and defensive ability required, but Iraola demonstrated with Truffert that he needs a better ballplayer in the position)
Of these, I'd be quite sad if Dom ends up being a casualty.

Grav's confidence has never been lower.
But that doesn't excuse the fact he's been awful for a long, long time.
He was also bad under Klopp. The only period of form he's ever had for us was 24/25. If you're not seriously alarmed by him, then I don't know what to tell you.

Two years ago today, Liverpool released this squad photo.
The team that went on to win our 20th league title. ❤️

The form of Liverpool's Florian Wirtz is causing quite a debate, with @Carra23 questioning if he'll ever live up to the hype in the Premier League.
@DavidSegar_ has had his say too, armed with Opta data. Are criticisms of Wirtz fair? 🤔

Ryan Gravenberch has just made my blood boil!
Jogging back from the half way line whilst Bournemouth come forward, he’s just come on, he should be sprinting!!!!!

Three consecutive Premier League clean sheets for Liverpool for the first time since September 2024.
Alexander Isak the first Liverpool player to score the winner in 2 straight away league games since Darwin Núñez in Dec 2023/Jan 2024.
Solid win, that. #LFC
