The crisis this season with Liverpool is something else, as I have not been able to figure out what is exactly wrong with Liverpool, they have failed in every angle as we expected in the early hours of the season. If I may ask in this game, who may saw it coming that, Leeds United will definitely come from behind to equalize with Liverpool, no one expected it, but they did. Liverpool team this season is something that one needs to explain something that is basically missing. Right now I don't think it is the tactics of the team, and this is what I have been believing, but right now, it is something else that I don't really know the exact cause.

This crisis is truly devastating. In fact, out of 15 matches, they have lost six and drawn twice. Look at how poor their performance is. In their last five matches, Liverpool have lost twice, drawn twice, and only won once. Their last defeat was an embarrassing defeat against Leeds United.

Liverpool are also experiencing several crises and inconsistencies with some of their players. We've heard various rumors and issues between the manager and Mohamed Salah, as well as the failure of their signing.

Well, we can see that, matters arises and do feel that more are to come. Liverpool has been outplayed this season, and they are no where to be found. What is exactly the problem of Liverpool, as I may not been able to figure what exactly is the cause to the performance, I wouldn't want to blame the players, rather I may not blame the coach as well, but I believe there are more underlying problems that we have not been able to figure it out. I hope Liverpool should come back to their performance again.

[Smartvirus]

In the end, the conclusion is pretty simple, just look back at last season when Arne Slot continued the squad structure that Klopp had already built, and that’s what brought them success and a title. From that, we can see that Slot became too ambitious by bringing in expensive, top quality players, but he failed to build a solid foundation in terms of the relationship between the coach and the players. On top of that, Slot’s expectations don’t match his actual capability, he signed many good players, but his tactics and strategies don’t really fit them. If this continues, both Liverpool and Arne Slot are going to receive some very harsh criticism.

Klopp is a legend, a season proven manager and in his last days, Slot almost made him feel like he haven’t got it and was running out of what it took to still manage a high profile team like Liverpool, coming into the EPL for the first time and actually win it with a tough performance, that was something over the course of last season.

Now coming into this season and the team has underperformed all season, it opens Slot up on a lot of ways. Liverpool isn’t getting any better but rather worst and if the transfer window haven’t got something good in stock for them, we might be watching them in the conference league.

[EL MOHA]

No, no it's totally wrong. Even if it was not Amorim, i don't think MU can perform better. Amorim's sytem is not entirely wrong. The players also need to be blamed as they don't have quality to blend with Amorim's system, thought some players being bought by Amorim himself.

Don't you aware how lazy their players are? They played too many individualism like they have no chemistry each other. Even if you bring Pep here, but with their current player, i don't think they can perform well.

I am not going to actually argue entirely with you but to be sincere even Ruben Amorim has his own fair share of blame, last season I was giving this same excuse that it was because the players were not of his standard but just this transfer summer Manchester United spent over 200 million on new players and this players were all Amorim A list of players so to me with even this few players we should be a seeing a clear difference with the old Manchester United team and say yes this Amorim new team and they are doing well.

But under him I can say that this players haven’t shown any sign to of any improvement rather they are actually some players whose stats are even worse at this stage of the season than they were before. Not that everyone is against the style of a play but he Ruben Amorim needs to be flexible and not all this rigid with just one formation all the time

I hope Liverpool should come back to their performance again.

Liverpool position is so awkward and the pressures on the coach and the players are intense for sure which is not helping them to progress. Imagine spending a fortune in the summer to move from the first place the last season to the ninth place this one. It is very bad situation and I believe Liverpool will wake after the holidays.
English Premier League standings are weird. Apart from gunners and Manchester City, the other classic teams cannot be seen until Liverpool position. Chelsea could be considered as the exception, yet they are not very successful either..

[Iamgoat]

Mohammed Salah crisis is escalating at Liverpool. He may not be included in Tuesday's Champions League clash at Inter. He may also be absent from the Brighton match the following week. I think Salah's career at Liverpool is over. Maybe they'll sell him in the winter transfer window without waiting until the end of the season. I don't know if any team will want him, of course. He's getting older, far from his former form and his salary is very high. If Arab clubs don't buy him, I don't think other teams will be able to afford him.

Now I believe in the saying everything has a time, I don't believe there will be a time where the Egyptian king who saw Liverpool to two different champions league will be in this mess right now with the team. Mo Salah is currently angry with Liverpool and he even said the club and the coach who is Slots are both treating him badly so he is sitting on the bench even though he still remains their best player. He even went to the level of telling his family to come and watch his last game at Anfield  but I better hope they resolve their differences before then so thy don't mess with the current poor performance of the club, the management should quickly work towards them. If he should leave in January I think it is only clubs in Saudi Pro league can afford his current worth in the market and I'm sure if he's ready to accept their offer, they will seal it.

The position of Liverpool in the league right now will leave the management with no option than to sack the coach and get a replacement for him if he doesn't get good results for them from January, all the money they spent they are not showing anything for it and they stand no chance of winning any trophy this season should they continue getting bad results plus the coach is having a difficult moment with some of his players it will affect the team chances of getting to top 4 next season.

Arsenal and Manchester City may be seen as the two teams that are looking stronger now but you can't underestimate Aston Villa, Sunderland, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Manchester United the points between them are not much.

[blue Snow]

Arne Slot is still not sacked, okay... Why does Liverpool always have to do this? They are just giving more than enough time. For what? I respect his Premier League trophy last season. But he doesn't have the exact same squad now.

There were changes last summer and it looks like there are still adaptation problems among newcomers. I should add injury problems too. Now there is new crisis related to Salah. I don't see a way out for Slot honestly but let's see if he proves me wrong.

Liverpool has a complicated Issue under the direction of Slot. They not only have a problem with adaptation and coordination, but also with defense, where they can't maintain the lead with a huge difference. So, I think the management doesn't want things to get more complicated when firing him. The management are still giving Slot a chance to fix it immediately after the end of the year. There will be many sacrifices if they fire him, because Liverpool has an expensive squad, which is not easy to manage by an ordinary coach. Liverpool is still exploring who can replace and manage the Galacticos squad.

Using Salah as the headline so that they will not bash the manager and the over signed players who have underperformed. It is good to see Salah speaking up for himself. He has helped achieve every trophy for Liverpool over the years.
The manager should be responsible for taking and absorbing all the heat that comes to players but he is busy shying away from it. The next game should be against Inter Milan, we will see if he can correct the errors and lead them to a win.

It is a big crisis among the player Salah, the coach Slot, and also the club Liverpool. Mohamed Salah must be realistic and neutral by looking at his decreasing performance quality for Liverpool since a last half of past season till now. It's very clear that Mohamed Salah no longer plays too well recent months and he needs to recognize it by himself. However both Slot and Liverpool actually cook something behind the scene and they no longer shown support for Salah. This escalates disappointment of Salah and also makes the crisis worse.

With latest actions of Slot by putting Salah on bench for three consecutive matches and the player's angry sayings about his situation now, it seems Mohamed Salah will find an exit gate in the winter transfer season which will open in coming weeks. Salah might consider to move to La Liga, return to Serie A or explore a new life in Saudi Arabia with very good salary from Saudi Arabian clubs.

Salah has become the subject of much discussion for Liverpool's poor performance in recent matches, making him feel the need to speak out. Arne Slot has been inept at Liverpool thus far, and perhaps he should take responsibility for the team's increasingly poor performance. It was also a shame that Salah was not fielded in the match against Leeds, for whatever reason so the match ended in a draw, despite his significant contribution to Liverpool's achievements in previous seasons.

7 points behind from third spotted Aston Villa with having just 7 wins out of 15 games, no one having doubt they are miserable after spending huge amount in last summer, scored 24 goals with miserable attack and worst defense with 24 goals conceded in 15 games.

Many players are not happy just because of this look, like Arne Slot days are numbered, management still giving time because they are not in hurry, and they are also looking for any chance of positive change but in just one or two more games, if they fail, things will be going to be in end level. At the top, now situation is interesting Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are on same level by having equal chance of staying at the top of the league table while Crystal Palace is amazing in last few matches, this performance bring them to fourth spot as of now.

most of the teams that had a good start sre already falling behind, Chelsea is currently at the 5th position and Liverpool on the other hamd are currently struggling and seeing them at the 9th position feels weird...I don't think Liverpool's situation will be fixed this season, from the looks of it they are done for...we can only hope for them to get better next season, it is very unusual for them to be backward

Mohammed Salah have not been underestimated this season and I said this is really a bad feeling. Eveyerone expects the very best from Mohammed Salah but he's not just in good form to bang goals. Whereas everyone suddenly forgets how Mohammed Salah have been contributing to the club in the past years. He score goals and won trophies for Liverpool, he was the keyman and everyone wanted to see him continue to explore which he ended up doing but as times passes, things changed when Arne Slot was appointed as headcoacj and Jurgen Klopp decided to exits Anfield.

Alot of controversial momentum circulated Anfield and there's no better direction than watching Liverpool bouncing back on track this season. Liverpool will heal from their wounds but for now, they ought to stick together and thrive to explore because it's definitely not going to be an easy one.

I don't even know what to say about Liverpool, the zeal is there already what they are lacking is the effort because even though the effort looks like it's these it is not, it's not like they are short-handed on good players but their performance makes it look like the players are not there, a few days ago someone told me that Liverpool is now a club of particular concern and as funny as it sounds I can't even bring myself to disagree, they need to buckle up, right now their chances this season are close to none but with good effort they can make a good comeback next season.

Sometimes people forget too soon, Mo Salah deserve some respect in Anfield this is the same Mo Salah they where talking good about in previous seasons, he has bag several goals for Liverpool and has also won tittles with Liverpool, the fans will not be comfortable if Mo Salah is not in the pitch now they all blame him for his poor performance. When this Liverpool problem started this season i thought it won't last long but i see that they will continue this way till the end of the season because among the players and the coach they are not organized.

I think Mohammed Salah made a big mistake not to leave the club in the summer. He had won everything with Liverpool and he knows he is getting getting old and may not be able to replicate the form he had last season, so he should have moved to Suadi pro league and probably retire there, rather he chose to stay back at Liverpool and he is getting most of the blame now that the team is not doing very well. I really don't blame the club, because he is on a very high salary and they expect him to do more than he is doing for the team right now.
The recent issue he is having with the club right is definitely signaling that his time is up at the club and he should be looking to leave the club in January,  which in my opinion will be a good thing for both parties.

If we look at it as a whole, there are almost no weak points for Liverpool when seen from the players in the squad, so I don't think there is any other way than changing the coach or Arne Slot making a significantly different tactic because if we don't do that, the same thing will continue to happen, this has happened since the beginning of the season and Arne Slot has not made any changes so far, so the problem now is with the coach and Liverpool management should move quickly to solve this problem.

[BitBakerr1]

This will be an interesting match and I don't even think Manchester United can win the match, Manchester United has been performing poorly this days and I can't trust them to win this match anyone who is betting on them to win the match is taking a very big risk which should not be taken, we know that wolves are not inform this season but since is there home they will do everything possible to make sure that they win Manchester United and since Manchester United is not also inform is possible for wolves to win them in today's match.
The problem of Manchester United is the players they are performing poorly even with the good tactics the coach is using they need to improve if they want to do very well this season.

[Velvet78]

Manchester United have a really easy game to play today. Wolves are just the worst team in the league now as you all know. Only 2 points after 14 games... They can't even score a goal for so many weeks. 

Still it is interesting that the Red Devils have been given 1.66 odds for the win. It is higher than it should be normally. I just see a good opportunity there. My bet is absolutely on them. A potential win will carry them to the 6th position.
