Is the sky falling? After falling off the altar after suffering consecutive defeats, Slott finally felt the pain of Guardiola

When the king of kills lost the top spot with consecutive kills, the sky for Liverpool, the Premier League leader, basically collapsed. This is by no means alarmist, because just last season, Manchester City's great dream of winning five consecutive Premier League titles was so shattered...

Although it is not as dazzling and smooth as Liverpool's 5 consecutive wins and 4 games at the beginning of this season, Manchester City's start to five consecutive Premier League titles is obviously more stable than Liverpool. In the first 9 rounds, Manchester City ranked first with 7 wins and 2 losses. However, Mr. Ballon d'Or Rodri's season reimbursement paved the way for the next schedule.

However, from being defeated by Bournemouth in the 10th round to defeating Leicester City in the 19th round, Manchester City only achieved a miserable record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in 10 Premier League rounds, including an unprecedented 4-game losing streak, which directly ruined the great dream of five consecutive championships.

Manchester City's sudden collapse was not only due to Rodri's season reimbursement, which led to the loss of control and the collapse of the tactical system, there was also a more important reason - insufficient lineup reserves. After generously sending away youth training treasure Palmer, Manchester City made the mistake of letting Alvarez go in last summer window, but only introduced Savinho through internal transfers. The thin lineup happened to catch up with Bob's serious injury, Foden's downturn, and De Bruyne's aging, which triggered a domino effect. The collapse seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.

So, how could Liverpool make the same mistake as Manchester City? After all, this summer window, Liverpool spent 420 million pounds on signings and reinforcements. It can be said that the team is strong and armed to the teeth.

Indeed, Liverpool’s signings this summer are unprecedented, with Isaac, Wirtz, and Ekitic all making big purchases. However, the problem lies precisely in the fact that when so many players are introduced at once, how to integrate and integrate them will test the coach's ability.

Slott was able to make a splash last season and win the Premier League championship as a rookie coach, largely thanks to his predecessor Klopp. After all, the team created by Klopp is so capable, coupled with Manchester City's rare collapse benefits, the championship was won without any effort. After the first success, Slott was eager to cut off Klopp's imprint and completely put his own imprint on Liverpool.

Obviously, Slott was a little too hasty and underestimated the cruelty of the Premier League.

In the first 5 rounds, Liverpool led the Premier League with a complete victory record, but the 5 wins and 4 buzzers also included 2 real countdown buzzers. Not to mention the hard work, it also exposed the biggest vitality at this stage - defense.

Although Van Dijk is still top-notch after his serious injury, he is obviously not as brave as he used to be; Konate is not in mind, and the contract renewal has not been completed; in such a large lineup, there is only Gomez, a substitute central defender who cannot bear the responsibility. Now it seems that failing to win the Crystal Palace captain and England central defender Gueye at the buzzer is really an unbearable pain.

There is no reinforcement at the back, and a lot of big names are piled up in the frontcourt. This top-heavy lineup looks very much like Real Madrid in the first phase of Galacticos. Slott has a lot of troubles now. In addition to the exposed hidden dangers in defense, there is also the use of midfield and frontcourt personnel - Salah has begun to slump, Isaac is unable to support himself, and Wirtz has a tendency to decline rapidly in the direction of parallel imports. Ekitic has performed well, but how to integrate has become a problem...

The arrival of the international match day is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Slott, but can his shiny forehead find a solution? Obviously, it's difficult!
