Liverpool lost 1-2 to Manchester United. TA wrote that the defending champion Liverpool has fallen into a real crisis.
After losing to Manchester United, Liverpool suffered four consecutive losses in all competitions, three of which were in the Premier League. This is the first time coach Slott has faced such adversity since he took office more than a year ago. You must know that Liverpool had already won the championship when they lost their third league game last season.
The team tried to rebuild this summer and introduced many new players such as Isaac, Wirtz and Frimpong, but it seemed that there were too many changes too fast, causing the team to lose the stability of last season.
Coupled with Van Dijk's poor condition, Salah's goal drought in seven consecutive league games (non-penalty kicks), and Alisson's injury, the team is not running smoothly.
In addition, the team may still be suffering from the grief of losing Jota. More urgently, rival Arsenal is running efficiently like a machine and has a strong defense. It is currently four points ahead of Liverpool, and there is not much time left for Liverpool to adjust.
In addition, according to TA reports, Forest team owner Marinakis angrily left the field in the 60th minute of the game against Chelsea, and then instructed technical director George Sirianos to notify Postkoglu to dismiss get out of class.
Although the players (who did not reach the level of last season) and the former coach Nuno (who let the team fall apart) are both responsible, the article clearly points out that the biggest responsibility must be placed on the boss Marinakis. He oversaw too many changes and created an atmosphere that was not conducive to success.
The appointment of Postkoglu was seen as a "disaster", which was either Marinakis' fault because he either should have accepted the chaotic start brought about by the Australian-Polish style, or he should not have been appointed in the first place. Marinakis has appointed 8 coaches during his 8-year tenure, only 2 of which were successful. Firing Aobo is the closest he can come to admitting his mistakes, but empowering his subordinates to execute shows signs of weak leadership.
In terms of successor, it is reported that "the leading candidate is Sean Dyche" and the club "has also contacted Mancini", but the latter seems unlikely to return to English football.
Marco Silva is not expected to leave due to the cost of poaching from Fulham. The article concluded that Marinakis' next decision "couldn't have been wrong."
