Grizz Khan returns to The Red Room to pick through the fallout from Liverpool’s frustrating 0-0 draw with Fulham at Anfield. Was it simply an off day for Andoni Iraola’s side, or did the performance expose problems that Liverpool supporters should be concerned about?
Dave Davis look at the latest Liverpool FC split opinion on:
Szoboszlai double pivot: Why Iraola plays him there, his running power against the others and the trade off with brain dead decisions.
Wirtz split: Right to say others need to get up to speed on running to help him, also right to say decisions are sometimes poor and teammates should do more for his key moments.
Dave Davis is joined by Michael Reid to discuss
- Need to have more opposition touches in the box at Anfield and star in Jeremy Jacquet
- Double pivot: Hard to get up to Bournemouth levels, the importance of verticality, winning duels and hopes for Trey Nyoni
Dave Davis is joined by David Lynch to discuss:
• Fulham draw with Alisson right to question that mentality and three games in a week seeming too much at the moment
• Double pivot concerns as Grav and Szob really poor and Tsimikas making life easy for Kerkez
• VAR rant and Camara would be a help for this team but wouldn’t solve it all
Dave Davis examines Liverpool’s double pivot problems as Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch struggle to provide the platform Andoni Iraola needs. The discussion centres on midfield balance, defensive protection and whether the partnership is giving Liverpool enough control when opponents apply pressure.
Liverpool were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Fulham at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. Andoni Iraola's men failed to build on victories over Ipswich and Atletico Madrid as they were held at home.
