Pricey Santa, Liverpool followers right here. There are a number of issues on our Christmas want record this yr…
Santa is on his approach, and as Liverpool followers there might be no scarcity of what we want to see underneath the tree on the large day.
From objectives, silverware and points at Anfield, to accidents, contracts and rather more, the record is an intensive one!
Alexander Isak to have a easy restoration
This want was initially for Alexander Isak to start out scoring objectives having struggled to make his mark on the membership, a stark distinction to the boldness rolling off Hugo Ekitike.
However simply after seeing the ending he’s able to, his leg breaks and we at the moment are left to hope that his restoration is easy and he’s again up and working sooner reasonably than later.
It might be the case that the membership put him on ice for the remainder of the season, as he was nonetheless but to return to full health earlier than the damage, however all we are able to want for is a fast restoration.
Not fairly the Christmas want we needed for Isak, however Liverpool should make the perfect of it – no matter that appears like…
Spend money on the ahead line in January
Liverpool’s precedence within the winter might have been the defence, however Isak’s damage – plus additionally Salah’s absence in January – means the membership should act.
Because it stands, Slot has solely Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha as recognised ahead choices – certainly one of them he clearly doesn’t belief and the opposite is an adolescent he’s resistant to make use of.
Antoine Semenyo has chosen Man Metropolis so Liverpool’s season might hinge on pursuing one other versatile choice succesful at No. 9 and out huge.
That is proper up there on the high of the want record.
To place the run of dreadful outcomes behind us
Slot has been underneath immense strain and must nonetheless be after he oversaw a run of 9 defeats from 12 video games.
There was a current upturn in outcomes, fortunately, however extra must be addressed throughout each division to make sure the workforce don’t plunge again to at least one loss after one other.
Consistency must be present in performances, as does a strategic plan that will get the perfect out of the gamers, qualities which now we have not been in a position to shout about all through the season to this point.
Slot wants to seek out the everlasting solutions.
A centre-back signing in January
Marc Guehi, fancy posing by the Christmas tree with a Liverpool shirt?
That will be a perfect state of affairs for the membership, who should be kicking themselves that they didn’t be certain the deal bought over the road in the summertime.
Liverpool want depth within the place. Joe Gomez‘s damage must have despatched alarm bells ringing, and if it’s not to be Guehi, then Liverpool want to seek out the following greatest answer.
This season nonetheless has life left in it, and Liverpool must take a front-foot method.
One other piece of silverware
It actually feels out of attain for the time being, however this time of yr is all about dreaming, and this one ticks the field for that!
The FA Cup and Champions League kicks off once more after the New 12 months, and Liverpool want to ensure they’re within the dialogue on the enterprise finish, particularly with their title defence wanting past them.
Final season’s celebrations had been unimaginable, and we wish extra of that feeling.
Mo Salah returns and we transfer on from the drama
There’s a lot left for Mo Salah to supply Liverpool, and we wish to see him again after his time on the Africa Cup of Nations and with the drama firmly behind us.
Accidents within the ahead line make it in order that transferring him on in January isn’t fairly an choice, so a cheerful medium must certain between Slot and the Egyptian to get essentially the most of out him.
This can be a participant who scored 34 objectives and arrange 23 final season, he has not turn into dangerous in a single day. If Salah can discover kind in entrance of objective and Slot finds a system for him, that trophy could also be somewhat extra sensible.
Futures sorted for Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson
Much like this time final yr, however as an alternative of three contracts to type there are two.
Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate are each to turn into free brokers in the summertime except an settlement is reached to increase their phrases.
Each are at completely different phases of their careers. The previous has proven why he’s so important on the pitch and within the dressing room this season, whereas the latter is getting into his prime years, even when his performances haven’t at all times mirrored that.
An enormous choice awaits the gamers and the membership, nevertheless it wants to return in a well timed trend, particularly if a farewell is to be deliberate.
Liverpool to type the queues outdoors Anfield
Supporters have been lacking kickoff at Anfield because of the introduction of 100% searches for each particular person getting into the bottom, inflicting massive queues and lengthy waits.
Even for those who arrive early, as suggested, you could be in lengthy queues and there has but to be a constructive change in getting supporters inside in a secure, well timed trend.
It’s inflicting frustration earlier than video games have even began, and an answer from the membership is required to make sure pre-match routines can keep and followers can arrive on the floor solely wanting ahead to getting inside.
A tune for Dominik Szoboszlai
His identify doesn’t precisely lend itself to seamlessly becoming into the beat of a tune, however there is no such thing as a query that Dominik Szoboszlai must be the following to be given the honour of a chant.
He has been our greatest participant this season by far, and he’s deserving of 1 that will get Anfield bouncing.
Time to make it occur.
