We can agree that you don’t understand the point.

Evidenced by the responding to “when everyone is healthy…” by pointing to lineups when everyone is indeed not healthy.

Pointing out total number of starts is not supportive of the argument that Szobo has started more games at midfield than Maca, let alone the supportive of the position that Slots original plan was a midfield of Gravenberch, Maca and Wirtz. Poll 100 Liverpool fans and 99 will confirm this. You being the exception.

The entire point of this argument started with the premise that SLOT’S BEST PLAYER this season emerged BECAUSE of injuries.

You’ve conveniently avoided stating who Szobo would supplant in the fully healthy midfield. You aren’t completely ignorant so I assume you’re not suggesting Gravenberch. And I doubt Slot spent a billion on Wirtz to bench him, so I surmise you think Maca. I’d love for you to find any article PRIOR to this season suggesting that Maca’s place was in question. I’ve linked one of many pointing to Szobo.

Or maybe I’m not giving you enough credit. Maybe you DO know that there isn’t an 8 in a 4-2-3-1 and have craftily avoided the issue by playing ignorant and stating that Szobo is Slot’s starting 8.

So back to the point. Slot’s possession based style is awful. He went for pacy wing backs, possession/box midfield playing into technical strikers (he literally bought two of the same strikers) and went away from high press and directional attacking forwards.

The best thing that has come from the season is discovering how invaluable Szobo is. Because of the injuries and Afcon.

And yes Endo suffered a bad injury. Your boy Slot must have predicted a bad freak foot injury and limited him to 171 minutes in the first 30 some games this season. His genius knows no bounds!!
