I don't really get his approach to Eriksen, he's not freezing him out completely nor is he showing faith in him to start games.
With the likes of Walker he just said, if you're off you're not playing. Eriksen is obviously more important as he's one of your best players, but if thats the case then just play him, you can't replace him at this moment in time anyway.

Childish in my opinion. Either play him or drop him from squad entirely if you really want to make a statement....but having him on the bench then subbing him on is daft.

Huge difference is walker said he wanted out a couple games before the end of the season where we are “stuck” with eriksen for a whole season.
Overall we are currently stacked in the AM position and imo he’s trying to keep everyone happy and probably annoying them in doing so
Klopp played Emre Can even though he knew he was going on a freebie, dno why hes an issue with it, he signed his contract and the club and him agreed for the length of time, now hes kicking up a fuss because hes honouring the full length of it and leaving on a free? Doesn't make sense.
I would like us to go back to playing a proper DM.
He should bring Dier back once he is fit.

Inexperience of managing a large squad. Managers should always be careful what they wish for.
Alli, Lucas and Lamela are now benchmen if we play a front 3 of KANE SON and ERIKSEN or LO CELSO

you need to drop lloris, dno why he jumps in the air before a shot comes in, the balls travelled 4/5 meters by the time hes planted and can react, look at gnabrys left footed goal for example. That other keeper you have looks better whenever ive seen him anyway.

I think there’s also a lot wrong with the coaching. too many players taking too many touches. This usually comes from coaching.
Either play a quick pass out of trouble to a teem mate or clear the ball to the flanks. Winks got caught out a few times. you need highly technical players to play the sort of football that we are attempting from the back.

I do find his quite funny as 95% of fans couldn’t stand Dier being on the team sheet the last few years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsRzjypjM9Y
first goal he does it, ok its powerful, prob wouldnt save it anyway, 2nd it a joke though, even does it on the third...
whats he doing hopping in the air as a shots being taken against him? reminds me of that everton keeper that used to do it all the time, robles was it?
We absolutely need to build some confidence ahead of the Liverpool game, else it could be curtains for us. Wasn't that AVB's last game after we got slaughtered by them?
At the same time go on a bit of a run and somehow beat Liverpool and that would give everyone a big boost.

bt get some good slow motion shots of how poor Lloris is tbf. Forget his brain farts, this is more criminal.
He ignores form and skill and replaces this with sentiment and guesswork.
----------------
this is the big one for me. he ignores form (or lack of it) when it comes to his favourites.
The team never seems to be selected on merit. Lamela is the classic example.... been one of our best players so far this season, then inexplicably dropped for a few games...
its strange.. some of the team sheets look like they have been picked out of a hat.
if you are one of his boys you probably play even when you don't deserve to. if you are not then you will be in out in out shake it all about, and never be able to play yourself into any kind of form.....
moura is a good example. if given 5 starts in a row i reckon he would be a goal machine.
Common sense says that we need to dig in and get a result and can't take any passengers, so Eriksen get's dropped.
Sissoko slots in at RB
Lamela and Moura start with Winks and N'Dombele.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
i was also thinking a back to basics approach. Dier as a proper DM,
Winks & NDombele or Sisokko
Eriksen Kane Son
If Eriksen aint up for it then Lamela.
I really like Winks, but he isnt a DM, but finds space well in the CM and gets us going forward (when he's on his game).
it seems Dier is the only player we have that understands the key deep lying CM role that used to be key for Pochs teams.
This doesn't mean I think Dier is class but the way things are looking Dier knows when to join the CBs in defence and when to sit in front of them as cover
Dier needs runners around him so Winks and Ndomblele and ndombele around him should make up for his mobility.

That is a major issue for us, not sure Dier is the solution though, would be No1 on my shopping list along with RB and back-up striker, if we leave till end of season will be 3 or 4 more
Good article, I agree with most of it.
