I’ve mentioned several times on here on now I think the set up was wrong which hurt us but it hasn’t been the only factor.
As said previous MacA missed 3mths of football/pre season due to the hernia and wasn’t match fit come the start of the season. I believe Slot started him too often too early in the hope of getting him up to speed but that was at the cost of league points.
Isak joined after the season had begun having not played/trained properly for 3mths. I don’t think his integration into the side has been particularly good.
In October he went and played 2 games for Swedan. That’s fine, he’s getting game time but not at a risk of Liverpool losing points. However once he came back from playing those games we started him v Utd days later and he played approx 75mins. Days after that we started him v Frankfurt and he got injured. That’s was a lot of games/mins in such a short amount of time for someone who still trying to get back to full match fitness. In my opinion he should have been managed better.
Bradley had an interrupted preseason and Frimpong has had 2 hamstring injuries already having not been injured last season at all.
Kerkez who is younger than Bradley has been thrown in from the start when in my opinion he should have been eased in better.
These issues also can affect the team and performance.
