The myth has been shattered and the energy has been lost. How can Liverpool not lose again and again?

. With such a lot of troubles, it is very difficult for Liverpool to recover instantly, but the biggest suffering at hand is no longer tactics, but the team's spirit has been knocked out.

suffered a disastrous defeat at home to Forest. After the game, there was a question that fans asked a lot: How could Liverpool beat Real Madrid like this? Some people joked: That's because Real Madrid is really good. The more serious answer is that the Red Army can be more "fighting" against Real Madrid. But facing the second-last place in the Premier League, you couldn't see Liverpool gritting their teeth and trying to eat their opponents. On the contrary, they missed the second goal two minutes after conceding the first goal (although it didn't count). The morale and confidence dissipated so quickly that it was sighing.

Looking at the last two goals that were actually conceded, it is quite embarrassing to talk about it in detail. Less than 1 minute into the second half, the visiting team's left back passed the ball to the right back for a goal. The assister was a product of Liverpool's youth training. What kind of thing is this? When McAllister rushed forward and was easily beaten by Nico Williams with a turn, there was another very intriguing aspect of the scene: the one who chased the bottom line to cover (but failed to defend) was Salah, who has been criticized for not being able to defend this season. Speaking of Salah, his 4 successful dribbles were the highest in the game. It cannot be said that he was in poor condition at the beginning of the game, but at the end of the game, Salah attempted a total of 14 dribbles, which means that the success rate of dribbles was less than 30%. It was full of embarrassment that he tried hard but everything went counterproductive.

The third goal was scored by Gibbs White, but when Hutchinson cut inside through the gap between Robertson and Ngumoha, Liverpool had already lost. Both Red Army players did not defend the ball well, but the root of the problem lies with the coach - both came off the bench, and youngster Ngumoha came on for less than a minute. At that time, Liverpool's entire formation was in chaos. This adjustment gap was a great opportunity for the opponent. How chaotic is it? In the 55th minute, center Ekitic replaced center defender Konate, and Hrafenbech changed to center back. The formation changed to double center but did not strengthen crosses. In the 67th minute, Robertson came on, but the tall Isaac, who had no performance, was also replaced by Chiesa. Finally, Ngumoha replaced Curtis Jones, which seemed to increase the speed on the court, but the actual offensive routine had already been that all the frontcourt players stood still, and only the defender could not attack with back and forth kicks.

Slott's "tactical adjustments" in the second half once again revealed that he had completely lost control of the situation and could only "stack forwards" without allowing the team to make corresponding changes in style. It was almost a gamble with no options. If the coach is not sure, the players naturally have no belief in winning, and the opponents will not have "awe". The final result is that Liverpool will be manipulated, and they will swallow a bitter pill without momentum or fighting spirit. At the game, Forest fans sang to Slott: "You will be out of class tomorrow morning." Some disappointed Red Army fans even laughed at themselves: "Tomorrow morning? It's too late!"

So far, we have not heard news such as "Fenway Group has lost confidence in Slott," but the Premier League champion coach is undoubtedly in deep trouble. After the international match in November, Liverpool's schedule no longer looked too dangerous. Although there were double matches a week, the opponents were Nottingham Forest, Eindhoven, West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds United. Except for the big dark horses and Black Cats, none of them were famous players. The "reset" turned out to be a disastrous one, so could a "resurgence" really happen under Slaughter?
