After a crazy chaotic draw that had a bit of everything, we ah we will discuss slots, tactical tweaks going down to 10 men, the second half game plan and whether these changes affect our approach moving forward. On
Discussion with Michael Lake on Game Challenges

Global Sports Podcast Network
today's episode, I'm joined by Michael Lake. Michael, how's it going?
00:00:39
Michael
ah Yes, because it's great. I'm looking forward to talking about this game. It's a bit of a weird one. I think um this is a game that we kind of were probably lucky to get what we got out of it, especially with going down to 10 men in 17 minutes. But
Impact of Robertson's Red Card
00:00:53
Michael
we'll get into that later. But yeah, I'm looking forward to talking about it.
00:00:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, definitely. I think it's one of those games where it was a really interesting tactical battle, given the circumstances, and obviously, Robertson getting that red card. So, um yeah, let's just get into it. I mean, first of all, the red card, what did you think of Robertson in that moment? Because I think a bit of head loss, and he just basically, I wouldn't say ruined the game for us, but makes it very, very difficult for us.
00:01:17
Michael
Yeah, i think I don't think Robertson has been anywhere near a good player this season. I think he's been sub-par. And I don't and know whether it's like age, because he's not even that old. I think he's early 30s. For a left back of his caliber, he realistically should be still performing at a high level, or at least at like ah an adequate level. But he's add he's dropped a few stinkers in a row.
00:01:45
Michael
um And i think it was just it was a bit unlucky. like um He just miscontrolled it and then took took the player out what by while trying to recover. um I think he he was probably also a little bit annoyed that a little bit earlier in the game when he made a run and both him and Deop missed the ball, but he got kind of taken out by Deop. Well, Deop got yellow, but um like if that's 20 minutes into the game as opposed to five or whatever it was, I think the op gets sent, gets his marching orders, and then maybe you can make a case where the game goes out differently and then Robertson doesn't get sent off. But like, um those sort of, you can't really make a ah point for that because Robertson was to blame for the red card. And as you said, it it changed the complete complexion of the game. But um the way we responded, like the full-on players were saying that they didn't even notice that there was 10 men who thought it was 11 v 11 for most of the game, or at least it felt like that.
00:02:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, indeed.
Liverpool's Tactical Adjustments
00:02:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's really interesting, because I really wanted to discuss like slots, tactical changes in the game, because you're a good manager if you have 11 players every day, and everything's going well. When there's problems, when things like ascending off happens, and you've got 80 minutes of the game left to play, that really shows your ability as a manager. And I thought he made some really interesting changes during the game, which we're going to discuss now. Obviously, Gravenberg moving into centre back, and then moving back into midfield during the game,
00:03:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
we kind of adopted a sort of free, free, free formation in possession at least. So what, or at least defensively, sorry, what were your interpretations of slots changes? I thought they were just very, very interesting.
00:03:23
Michael
Yeah, I mean, it's it was an interesting approach. it was it was well We were kind of a bit hamstrung with what we had on the bench. I mean, we had Quonsa and maybe Endo. You could make a case for them being the only defensive options on the bench. So he was kind of stuck.
00:03:39
Michael
ah like the a more conservative manager probably would have brought off someone like Louis Diaz or someone like that and then just whacked on concert center back push Jones ah ah Gomez out to ah left back and then kind of played sort of a 4-3-2 but slot obviously isn't that conservative manager this is the first time he's had this he's had to come up against a situation like this especially so early in the game and the fact he kind of went No, I'm just going to change it about. and And I think initially they did try and play with sort of wing back, so they put gakpo as a left back.
00:04:15
Michael
and I think in his post-match interview, Slot said that it looked good on paper, but it wasn't necessarily the best in in terms of in principle, so then they decided to change to, it it was a little bit more of a back four in the sense of like, Graham Burge drops, Gomez went to the left-hand side of the center back pairing, and then Trent was still there as ah as a low as a deeper player, um ah initially in the game, but then obviously as the game went on, Trent started stepping in inside, and then
00:04:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:44
Michael
Once it got brought on, so then it became sort of that three, three, three that you were talking about. And it was ah it was a really um the the average positions are really interesting um because if you if you look at them once the subs came on, the average positions are basically a five and a five.
00:04:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:05:02
Michael
Like there's no one in that middle because everyone's either dropped back or dropped forward to kind of cover the spaces that were being left. um So it's really interesting the tactical approach because ah you wouldn't think that we'd be able to play as well as we did. And and and if if we can play this well with 10 men and have Salesify running, have Jones running, have Graham Birch being so ah confident in changing different positions, having Gackpo lurking at the back post every every match. like those sort of things. Like if we can get that and get it going at 11 men, we've been good, but we can be so much better. And that's so something really interesting. I think we kind of needed to have this sort of challenge to see how we would fare.
00:05:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's it's as if, I don't know from your perspective, Michael, but from my point of view, it it was as if once once you went down to 10 men, we actually started playing properly.
00:05:52
Michael
Mm.
00:05:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just think it was just obviously sort of the changes from slot helped that happen. But I think that there was more energy in the team. I thought Sobber Sly was, I mean, he gets, he's got a lot of stick this season from some of us Liverpool fans, but I thought he really, really did put in a shift.
00:06:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he was absolutely knackered towards the end of the match. and I don't think he got subbed off towards the end, but I thought he was incredible. I think, That midfield was really interesting as well, because Fulham, it's not an easy team to go ten ten but well go down to 10 men against, because you've got the pace of Adama Traore, Wobi, players on the break, they they they are quite fast, and Anthony Robertson, who obviously got two assists as well, so how much does the midfield sort of play a role in that?
00:06:32
Michael
Yeah I mean the midfield is like so the most important aspect in that. I mean I've got to admit since Fulham lost Paulina they haven't like their midfield dominance hasn't been the same but obviously 11 men you're going to have more men in midfield so it's a little bit of a sort of toss up there, but like going down to just having, when Graham Burch dropped into sort of more of a centre-back role, having just Sosa Bly and Jones in that midfield, kind of like you didn't really notice it too much, especially with the fact that Graham Burch had the confidence to just step into that sort of deep role and just kind of leave the leave the two guys at the back to fend for themselves really. um i think that I think that sort of confidence in our midfield and that
00:07:18
Michael
work rate and tenacity is is very impressive and i think um like they're all making claims like you said about sasa by being like in terms of his like output on paper like goals and assists he has a few he's he's not being horrendous by any stretch of the imagination but no where near what we thought he would be but the fact he just runs and makes tackles and I always think Liverpool look better when he's playing in the in the 10 like as much as Jones looked really good and when Jones McAllister and Graven Burch are playing it feels like we've got
00:07:50
Michael
Control um a little bit more but when sales apply comes on it feels like every attack is just 100 miles an hour and we're going to score um for me not necessarily because of sales apply but just because ah All the defenders are kind of like backing off and like oh they're running out again.
00:08:06
Michael
Come on Let's get let's get away.
00:08:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Hmm.
00:08:09
Michael
Let's try and be safe here like uh, let's backtrack. So like um I think that midfield, those options that we have and we've still got like, we've got like exciting players on the bench. Like I love the i love likes of Tyler Morton and Tranioni and I think like if they can be sort of bedded in or maybe against Southampton, like or get a little bit of game time, I think given those big boys a rest so that they can perform at this level every game would just be amazing and will will only benefit us us all season.
00:08:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, indeed. and it And it just shows, I mean, without McAllister as well, it was obviously a big miss because he was suspended. I think that midfield can really put in a shift. And when you've got and another player like McAllister to come in, I mean, the options are amazing. Gravenberg obviously has been outstanding. I thought when he moved to centre back, he just shows his sort of game intelligence, being able to go from a because it's two completely different positions.
00:08:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think our forward is outstanding because i we we haven't seen Gravon, but do what he's been doing ah at the number six position, let alone going into center back.
00:09:00
Michael
did
00:09:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, I mean, he was absolutely outstanding. We're going to touch on the second half game plan and sort of how Liverpool came from behind twice to get a 2-2 draw, but we'll cover that off this very short break.
00:09:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Amazing. So like I said before the break, we're going to touch on the second half game plan. Obviously, Leopold going in 1-0
Second Half Strategies and Gakpo's Goal
00:10:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
behind at the break and also obviously down to 10 men. ah We came out the blocks in the second half, Gakko getting that goal and then we obviously fell behind again and then came back. So what what was do you think from your point of view, Michael, was the second half game plan? Because obviously, we wanted to attack, but we couldn't leave ourselves as vulnerable at the back. How did you see that from your point of view?
00:10:22
Michael
Yeah, I think i think um the late, well obviously later in the second half when we brought on the likes of Kwanzaa and then kind of brought on a little bit more firepower and in the sense of, I mean, was a lot of it was like for like, but then we're taking off Trent and bringing on Jota.
00:10:37
Michael
was you could see that as very risky um obviously Trent gets a little bit mocked for his defending but he's still a defender um as opposed to bringing on a striker um but like I think we just kind of wanted to get at them a bit more and bit um kind of control the game um I mean if you look at the kind of momentum we kindt we did control the game more and there it was a little bit more it was a bit more tentative in the first half in terms of like ah both teams were kind of like feeling each other out a little bit. But I think in the end of the first half, moving into the second half, I thought we were very good and we kind of controlled the game a lot. And we had like, and and the goal obviously the our goal came
00:11:19
Michael
fairly soon after half time with Gackpo kind of ghosting in on that back post, which he loves to do. um like That diving header was Van Persie-esque.
00:11:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:31
Michael
It's something that's something about the Dutch. they They just love that sort of diving header.
00:11:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:11:36
Michael
But I thought i that that goal was very impressive. i was like The fact that he got the direction, the power, everything like that, but just kind of flying forward like Superman. It was very, very impressive. And I think, like, I think Gackpo's been, like, not underrated because everyone's saying he's very good, but um he should be getting the same amount of at the start of the season because he is actually making a case for that left left-w-wing role. And maybe under Klopp, he would be the one playing through the centre and Diaz would be on the left. But the fact that Diaz is being put in the middle kind of shows how important he's he's becoming to Klopp at a slot.
00:12:15
Michael
um going back in time they're saying saying they're saying clop but um yeah I think we just kind of wanted to get at them and um I think there was an element of We haven't got much to lose. we tell it would be with We've already played, what, 35 minutes, or no, 25 minutes of the game without with 10 men. they've kind of We kind of felt our way into it, end of the second half, ah end of the first half, we kind of got more into it and then we were just kind of like, okay, we're we're good enough to kind of control this game.
00:12:45
Michael
Grabber settled into playing centre back and stepping into midfield and no sort of little things sort of clicking. Obviously, there was a little bit of a passage of play just after we scored where ah Fulham came into it. But then I think for the rest of the game, I think they scored against the runner play when they scored. um Because the rest of the game, we were controlling it. And and I think we were ah very, very good. And yeah as I've said, with if we had 11 men, I think it would have been out of sight.
00:13:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I wouldd agree with that. And also we had chances towards the end of, well, towards the end of the game. I think that one with Johto, it just went over the bar. Salah obviously had one effect.
00:13:22
Michael
Yeah.
00:13:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know if that was before.
00:13:24
Michael
yeah
00:13:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. And Elliot, that's the other one. Yeah. If that went in, that would have been amazing. But I want to touch on a player who's obviously been out for a long time, got our equalizing goal, Diogo Johto. I mean, he just reminds us all when he's, when he's back in this team, he is, he's surely got to be number one name on the team sheet, but he is so clinical, isn't he?
00:13:43
Michael
Yeah, I think DR's at Stryker is a good, is a fine stopgap, but I think once Jota gets up to full sort of fitness, I think he's so he's in there over both DR's and Nunez.
00:13:56
Michael
I think he's he's definitely a different player. he's I would kind of classify DR's and Nunez as kind of like a a thousand miles an hour players, and then Jota and Gakpo as more of like a
00:14:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:08
Michael
They just feel a bit more classy um for some reason.
00:14:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:14:11
Michael
like they They feel like they can just get on the ball and just everything they touch is is gold and then Nunes and Diaz and Chaos players, um which I think is a really good balance having both of them on the on each side.
00:14:22
Michael
and Having the likes of Kiesa back as well, um obviously people are still, the jury's out for him but like having all our attackers basically back now is is really is really good to see and I think like i i don't think Sal is getting dropped but maybe against Southampton we can give a run out to Jota, give him more game time or give a run out to Kiesa, just kind of get get a bit more rotation in this team because um I think Slot kind of learned that after the first international break he did.
00:14:52
Michael
like He needs to kind of be able to trust other players in his squad and trust how big the squad is. so Obviously now that we've we've got ah Robertson out and hopefully Simicast will be back for against Southampton or at least the next Premier League game.
00:15:06
Michael
I don't actually know what that one is off the top of my head.
00:15:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Top number way.
00:15:09
Michael
so Talking them away.
00:15:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Top number way.
00:15:11
Michael
Yeah, because that's a big one. Surely we've got to have a surely we got have a left back there. um you knowll probably You'll probably issue Horn Quanta into that and ah if if he really wants to play Gomez at centre back. The fact that Jota is back just kind of bolsters us. I think it's only it's only going to be up from here. And I think in in January, there's very little we need to look at.
00:15:35
Michael
apart from maybe a left back. I think ah Anthony Robertson is a good shout.
00:15:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'll just.
00:15:40
Michael
He's a little bit old.
00:15:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:15:41
Michael
He's a little bit old, he's 27.
00:15:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:15:45
Michael
But I think he's a he was an amazing shout and he's been linked all all day, all last few days. um i still I still think Kirk has would be a little bit better just because he's younger, he's 20 as opposed to 27.
00:15:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Hmm. No.
00:16:00
Michael
But yeah, i I've kind of ah got a bit sidetracked there, but yeah, Jota is very good.
00:16:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah You actually took yeah actually took my next topic out of my mouth because I was going to say from a full-on point of view and speaking of left backs, I thought Anthony Robinson was outstanding. I mean, he's been probably one of the left backs of the season in the Premier League.
00:16:13
Michael
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:16:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
um You say 27. I mean, that's still a good three, four, five years of
Potential Transfer Targets for Liverpool
00:16:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
his prime um to play and and and he's already someone with Premier League experience. I think Kirk has as well has been absolutely outstanding for Bournemouth.
00:16:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Two very good options. I've seen the links to Alfonso Davies. I'm not too sure about that. But I mean, from a full-on point of view, I think Robinson was outstanding for them.
00:16:34
Michael
Yeah.
00:16:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it kind of shows the the story of two left-backs in that game.
00:16:40
Michael
Well, I think I think also like Robertson's only three years older than Robinson. So like the kind of if that is the drop off.
00:16:53
Michael
like only having three years for a player who full of them are not going to want to sell. Like it's going to be expensive to find him. I think like, um, I think that is probably the most glaring area that we're looking at in this squad, especially if we can get the the three big boys to sign their contracts.
00:17:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:17:10
Michael
I saw that, uh, Trent and Van Dyke were in full kits for training, uh, one day this week or last week. Um, so which it seems promising. Um, but I, I don't know if I can, get my hopes up too much but I have i've seen that um but yeah I think like left back is the most glaring position because I don't think Simicast or Robertson at the moment are up to standards um and I think definitely I think like maybe like an Owen Beck could come in and do like a Bradley sort of position of ah of that sort of understudy who can definitely fill that role because he's playing well at Blackburn but then getting that sort of first team
00:17:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:17:48
Michael
for like first choice left back in Robertson in Kirk, Robinson in Kirk has, especially with Robinson being came through the Everton Academy and played for Wigan for a while.
00:17:59
Michael
Like he's from the north.
00:17:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:18:01
Michael
He's a Northwest boy. He's been it he's been here for a long time or lived here for a long time. So um that could definitely be a ah way of bringing him back.
00:18:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, indeed. I think yeah i mean it's these' good options for Liverpool to sort of assess in the transfer market. Obviously, January coming up, so maybe Liverpool will get involved in the in getting a left-back, maybe um in the January transfer window, but that's a discussion for another time.
00:18:19
Michael
Mm.
00:18:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're going to cut to a quick break before we talk about the result in general and where this leaves Liverpool.
00:18:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fantastic, so like I said before the break, um we're going to touch on the result in the sort of grand scheme of things. Obviously,
Premier League Standings and Implications
00:19:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
back-to-back draws in the Premier League. um Not ideal, but Liverpool still are top of the Premier League. Given the circumstances of the game, is this a good result for Liverpool, Michael?
00:19:11
Michael
I think given the circumstances, yeah, of course. I mean, going 10 men to 10 men at any point in the game is difficult in their mind 20 minutes in. And I think like they they being able to kind of battle our way back, and if anything, being the better team with 10 men, I think a draw is kind of the minimum that we should have got, but it's still a very good ah good result. And I think we are we we are showing that like nothing's really going to stop us and we're just going to keep rolling. The only problem is is that like the teams that were fighting against our dropping points, apart from Chelsea obviously, but like and we're not really capitalising on it. like Both City and Arsenal have lost drop points in the last two games and so have we. So it's ah it's a little bit annoying in that sense, but in terms of in context of the game very much so, this is a good result.
00:20:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and and I guess another interesting point of view from obviously because Arsenal drew Neil Neil with Everton um at three o'clock as well I mean, they've gone down to ten men at certain points in the season. I mean other teams have gone down to ten men What does it say about Liverpool and their approach because a lot of teams will kind of have the approach of our let's try and minimize the the defeat or Have what hold on to what we've got. What does it show about this character? Not just from the players, but obviously from the manager as well.
00:20:28
Michael
Well, I think Arsenal are just a bit of a boring team in general, even when they've got 11 men.
00:20:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I
00:20:32
Michael
So like when they go down to 10 men and they cry about the fact that they've gone down to 10 men and the refs are against them, like they though those things are...
00:20:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
That is where you want to happen.
00:20:40
Michael
like It's how you approach the game. Their whole game plan is corners. If they go down to 10 men, that shouldn't change anything. you don't They don't score in open play. like They're not a good team outside of corner taking.
00:20:52
Michael
They're a set-piece team. So like ah like when they cry about going down to 10 men and they sit back and they just have all their big boys at the back, like I think that's ah that shows kind of a weak mentality from them. I think the fact that we went, nah, we're not even going to bring on like a defender. well let's you just gonna like We're play. We're going to play for 50 more minutes after the sending off without making a sub.
00:21:17
Michael
Like no team really does that. You normally you get ah a substitution, you you make a substitution straight away to kind of show yourself up. But I think slot having the faith in the team to be able to be adaptable and kind of be able to tweak during the game. Obviously I said about going back five and then kind of switching to a back four and then a three kind of that sort of ah those sort of tweaks throughout the game is very impressive. And I think like I always like to think that sort of the Liverpool mentality of like just like we don't really care we just kind of want to play like we we just kind of want to give everything and like we don't want to settle for a draw we don't want to sit back we don't want to be like like when city and arsenal play each other and it's just the most boring dull game ever and like it's just like corners corners corners big boys oh great
00:22:07
Michael
They're celebrating telling each other to be humble. They should be humble. They're the third and fourth worst team, best team in the league. They're not title contenders anymore. The fact that Chelsea and Liverpool, who are forward-thinking teams, who have like who are attacking exciting players and don't just rely on set pieces. like The fact that their top two is impressive and I think it's deserved.
00:22:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. Just to correct you on that, it's third and fifth, because city are now fifth now, because forest are fourth.
00:22:35
Michael
Oh yeah, sorry.
00:22:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
but if
00:22:36
Michael
Forrest, to be fair, I'd say Forrest are better than Arsenal as well.
00:22:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:40
Michael
At least they score open play goals.
00:22:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
but okayly No, indeed. I mean, It's definitely part of the Liverpool DNA, what you mentioned about sort of when we go back but go behind in games or go down to 10 men. we We always seem to find a way.
00:22:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, obviously, one of those games last season coming from behind against Newcastle, that darant Darwin Newness sort of special.
00:22:57
Michael
this
00:22:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
um that bla I mean, it's definitely sort of part of the Liverpool DNA. um Just before we wrap up today's episode, obviously Liverpool play Southampton midweek in the Carabar Cup, and news on Southampton is that Russell Martin has got the chop.
00:23:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's no longer the manager. They lost 5-0 against Tottenham. Michael, just want to get your reaction on on that, obviously, because we're playing them next, so it does make sense to to cover that.
00:23:20
Michael
Yeah, I mean, I think, like for all Gary O'Neill, not Gary O'Neill, I was thinking of about it, the other manager who got sacked, for all Russell Martin's flaws in terms of like, he was trying to play good football, I think a lot, I think pretty much every football fan can look at that and be like, he's just playing how he played to get here, like he's not changing, he's not compromising, he's not becoming boring, he's not becoming a Sean Dyche or a Michael Arteta, he's not being like a absolute like,
00:23:47
Michael
What is even the word, like a football anarchist, where they just don't like to play nice football? He was at least trying.
00:23:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:56
Michael
They were playing good football, and I think if their strikers could finish, they would be probably out of the relegation zone. like um they they've been unfortunate and I think I like Russell Martin and I think I'm a little bit disappointed in Southampton not having this sort of long-term vision of being like we might go down this season but we're gonna get the money we're gonna play the same attractive football that got us up last time and we're gonna have better players to play it and then probably we're gonna do what Bournemouth did
00:24:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:24:28
Michael
um where they went down and then came back up as a better team. like
Southampton Manager Sacking and Impact on Liverpool
00:24:31
Michael
I think it's it's disappointing that they've decided to sack him. I think it's probably going to mean that we're going to get a fairly easy game on on Wednesday, so I'm not too i'm not too fussed.
00:24:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:44
Michael
um But then also, like the all the bottom bottom teams are sacking their managers with Gary O'Neill also gone, so there's going to be a bit of a fight between those two about who who they get. I think Oligodir Solshire was at the Wolves game when Gary O'Neill got sacked, so potentially he might get a job.
00:24:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:00
Michael
So that's three managers this season so far, isn't it, with Leicester also sacking the manager.
00:25:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah oh
00:25:06
Michael
ah It's already started.
00:25:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah It's already started. Maybe Oli will be back at the wheel for Wolves. But I mean, I think I've seen them link with Vital Pereira, I think is ah the other manager they've been talking to.
00:25:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
But um that doesn't go well.
00:25:17
Michael
Yeah, i can't I can't say I know too much about him.
00:25:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I don't. I mean, at least Lil Paul aren't involved in sort of any of these managerial, merry-go-rounds and all that nonsense.

00:25:30
Michael
who Can I also say that Reuben Amorin being an absolute disgrace and being rubbish is absolutely heartwarming. um the and The fact that he is that he is just terrible and they're sitting in 13th at the moment United.
