Er det bare mig der håber England taber, selvom der er Liverpool spilere i truppen? At Southgate har set bort fra TAA gør mig pigefornærmet og håber de taber og han bliver fyret.

“ At Southgate har set bort fra TAA gør mig pigefornærmet “

Han fik da chancen de to første kampe, uden at imponere. Hvem vil du have han skal spille i stedet for?

Uden at imponere? ja hvem af de engelske spillere imponerede? Han var faktisk den mest imponerende syntes jeg, ikke at det sagde ret meget.

Mainoo og Foden har da været decideret elendige og at han endda sætter Gallagher og Trippier ind før ham viser bare hans uduelighed til at få det bedste ud af de bedste spillere.

Foden og Trippier spiller vel ikke samme plads som ham? Der er jo også en grund til Gallacher ikke bruges mere. Manioo har været en af de bedste englændere og holdet ser lidt mere balanceret ud med ham.

Meget uenig, Walker kunne sagtens spille venstre back og TAA højre.

Bellingham over på Fodens plads og Palmer ind på midten.

Mainoo som jeg syntes har været meget dårlig skal jo aldrig være med på dette niveau. Endnu.

Om det er rigtigt el ej ved jeg ikke. Det er fra et FB fan site, så formentlig en 20 årig knægt der har lavet sin egen analyse men det lyder da spændende😊

If Arne Slot is the man to reignite Liverpool’s push for trophies, then his tried and tested lieutenant Ruben Peeters will be the assistant he cannot do without.

Peeters, a 32-year-old with a master’s degree in sports sciences from KU Leuven, was the first confirmed member of a new-look backroom team following the end of the Jurgen Klopp era this summer. Head coach Slot insisted on bringing Peeters, previously Feyenoord’s head of physical performance, with him to Anfield after years of success together in the Netherlands.

One of the main reasons Liverpool hired Slot, alongside his exciting playing style and ability to improve players, was his previous club Feyenoord’s almost magical powers when it came to preventing injuries. For three seasons, the Rotterdam side’s player availability levels were above 90 per cent, and Slot played a key role in that by listening carefully to the experts who made up one of the most successful medical and performance departments in world football.

One of those specialists was Peeters, a specialist at what is known as periodisation, who knew exactly how hard to push each individual at various points throughout a season without overloading their body. Every morning at Feyenoord, he provided Slot with a meticulous briefing on how long the group should train for and, like clockwork, the session would start and finish as suggested.

Peeters’ work was transformative in helping to provide maximum availability and, if replicated successfully at Liverpool, could be hugely beneficial.

According to respected website premierinjuries.com, last season saw Liverpool lose 21 different players to injuries — only Tottenham Hotspur (22) had more among the Premier League’s 20 clubs. Klopp also used 30 players — five more than both Manchester City and Arsenal — during a campaign which saw his club fall short in the title race, finishing third, seven and nine points behind those two sides.

Liverpool were not the only club to suffer from such setbacks, as Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United were also ravaged by injuries across various stages of the season. Yet a particular pinch-point for Klopp came in February, when senior players Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah were all unavailable at the same time.

Liverpool were still able to win the Carabao Cup final in that month, thanks to a clutch of talented youngsters stepping up against Chelsea at Wembley, but trouble eventually caught up with them in subsequent weeks as they went out of the FA Cup (March 17) and Europa League (mid-April) and saw their title challenge tail off (a run of one win in five during April).

The common occurrence of players returning from injury only to break down again — it happened with Alexander-Arnold, Salah, Szoboszlai, Jota and Jones in the second half of the season — was alarming.

New sporting director Richard Hughes hopes to see Liverpool’s injury record improve in the years ahead and has listened to the plans of both Slot and Peeters, who are joined by Sipke Hulshoff (first assistant coach) Fabian Otte (first-team goalkeeping coach), and Aaron Briggs (elite development coach) as new arrivals at the club.

Some of the early groundwork is already in place as a new era without Klopp and his support team begins.

Walker har været en af Englands klart bedste (ikke at det siger det vilde) og bliver selvfølgelig ikke sat på venstre back.

Nej det er ikke sket and its never coming home.

Interessant læsning, Hasse. Jeg kender meget lidt til den nye trænerstab, men er blevet en del klogere nu. Tak for det 👍

Dejligt, at få et par udhvilede engelske spillere hjem til preseason.
