Ball possession means nothing if you cant advance the ball kwenye first-third, middle-third & final-third phases/voids.
Kama build-up phase yako, inategemea short passes, kwenye kila progressive void/areas of the pitch, then you need to have a 10/second 8 who is a good passer, who can easily break teams/open up teams with last-ditch passes, (KDB at City or even Nunes ambaye hachezi sana at City, or Enzo at Chelsea depends how you use him), do we have good last ditch passers at LFC? Yes, Trent & Alexis, but wanacheza wapi? Trent is at RB, and Alexis is playing even deeper because tuna limited options kwenye MF.
Trent was doing good defensively, but at time he started to use long balls ili kubadilisha dynamic yetu ya kwenye deep build-up ambayo ilikuwa inaishia tu kwenye middle-third, as tulikuwa tuna-lack progressive patterns za ku-bind up our middle phase na final third, when Trent started to play long balls into the final-third, Slot decided to take him off off at RB, which is fair, bacause he thought he buliding-up stracture was getting bypassed, but how do you solve it? by moving Trent into the MF au kumtoa? maana story hapa ni ile ile, kama unampeleka Trent kwenye MF, hakikisha kuna Strong 6 wa ku-support his defensive patterns ambazo ni weak kwenye kiungo, sasa una Grav at the middle, unategemea vipi ku-supples transitions ili ku-maintain your ball possessional shape? kwa kumtumia tu Grav? can Trent create ulichokuwa unataka a-create tukiwa tuna-struggle kwenye transitions?
Kwenye bench, alikuwepo Jones, ungeweza kumtumia kuja, ku-add glue kwenye possesssion, au ungemtumia Endo kuja ku-sit at 6 and put Grav up further, and use his ball carrying ability to force/open up attacking angles, huku uki-maintain the same shape.
Slot anasema anapenda sana kukuua kwa passes, which is good, but you cant do it without a natural/commanding 6, Zubimendi was a good fit, but tulimkosa, so tunahitaji kuendelea ku-cope, games zilizopita, tulikuwa tukifika kwenye our middle-third, tunawa-engage Salah & Diaz, katika kuminya spaces, hence instead of Szobo ku-sit sana kwenye 10 role, anakuwa ana-roam sana across the final-third, ili ku-minmize the the space between Salah-Diaz & Jota. leo the approach failed, tunaweza tukasema ni fatigue, but sometimes unampa kocha wa upande wa pili sifa za kufanikiwa ku-destroy our semi-build up phases, but Slot had players wa kum-hurt Nuno, kama angeamua kwenda direct, bypass build up-phases, na ku-stick na long balls.
I mean, stick with Trent at RB, kama plan ilikuwa ni kumchezesha Alexis dakika 60 tu kwasababu ya umbali wa safari, then right subs zingekuwa ni Jones/Endo, then change dynamics za kwenye attacking line, Nunez for Jota & Gakpo for Diaz, maintain the same MF shape, but play deep, invite Forest kwenye your first-third area, use Trent to open up attacking spaces with long balls to Nunez & Gakpo.
