A slot should bravely drop Jota & instead of getting rid of Liverpool’s “chaotic” ace

Disappoint disappointment due to a mid -week defeat; Liverpool meet Newcastle United on Wembley tomorrow for the first shot in a silver bowl below Groove.
Though it falls into Champions League Against Paris Saint-Germain Bits, the Reds have the opportunity to encourage a stunning final race by 2024/25 with a Carabao Cup final win, after winning the domestic competition after a term.
Liverpool was the best team in England this year, 15 points clear on top Premier leagueBut Newcastle are desperate for a slice of silver accessories after several years of progress and hard vaccination below Eddie Howe.
They meet Merseysiders with a raft of absences left on Tyneside. Anthony Gordon He was suspended after a red card against Brighton in the FA Cup; The Lewis Hall season ended after a foot injury, and Sven Botman suffered another failure and will not appear.
However, the slot has a lot of his own concerns in Liverpool.
Liverpool concerns for injuries
Cody Gakpo She bounced off an extension injury in an additional time against PSG, although his influence was negligible and did not take any of the three openings of the video, suggesting that the fitness was not yet full.
Nevertheless he returned, and so Ibrahim Konate He is expected to introduce himself despite being late in the middle of the week.
The same, however, cannot be said for Trent Alexander-Arnoldwho in the second half of the League League of Champions League Liverpool’s league in the second half and is now facing a worried check that refers to its availability before the end of the season, where Real Madrid will watch to raise it on Bosman.
Further injuries to the return of the background suggest that the groove can have something of a defensive crisis on his hands; With Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley they both put aside, Jarell Quansah He will be forced to replace in an unnatural right back on Wembley, although one is wonderful this season. Tyler Morton is also outside.
With gakpo back, you would think it might come for the time for Diogo Jota To get back to the bench, and the Portuguese striker has struggled to impress in recent months.
In order for the slot to replace Diogo Jot
PSG successfully canceled the Liverpool line for the vast majority of double champions League connection. At Anfield, the slot side had a lot more joy, but failed to break the French defense and eventually fell to punishment.
But Oho’s struggle was a continuation of the happy wealth he had throughout the campaign, full of more problems with injuries that have now influenced his once unwavering boots.
Last season, Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher noted that Jota may be Liverpool’s “Best Finisher” in the Premier League. Ever. As for the quality of pure balls, calmness, anticipation, it could have a substance, but the 28-year-old certainly cannot accept such praise at the moment, Passed eight games without a goal For red.

Salted in both legs against PSG, the groove must put Jot on the bench and open under someone else. Might feel like Luis Diaz is an obvious answer, have played 11 matches as a Liverpool center This year, extinguishing six goals.
However, Gakp’s uncertain fitness could mean that it is best to bring it in the second half, especially with the appearance of another shooting in the week of very real possibilities.
As such, the groove may want to bite the bullet and get rid of Darwin Nunez from the beginning. Now, Liverpool Uruguayan nine may not enjoy his football so much, consistently fighting to achieve the expected heights After joining Benfica for £ 85m 2022, but he is an angry and difficult to defended player.
Moreover, he may discover that his options are going through the initial hour of strengthening, with his influence often negligible after he has entered into a conflict at the final stages of matches.
Liverpool writer Leanne Prescott He called the 25-year-old “extremely angry and incredibly chaotic” striker after the Reds beat Southampton in the Premier League last weekend. Sounds right.
However, he is, of course, capable of providing an exit for Liverpool, and his defensive application will also be useful to you because his side looks to take control of early stages.
According to FBREF -uIt ranked among the first 14% of the attackers in the first five leagues in the last year for the shots, the first 17% for progressive brackets and the first 1% to fight 90 each, illustrating that point.
Wearing is considered progressive if the ball moves towards the opponent’s goal at least 10 meters from its initial point or transmitted to the penalty area.
Gakp’s cold head and expertise from the site suggest that he may be released in the second half, especially given his recent fitness blows and the Newcastle intensity will look at an early stage conflict.
In the ideal world, a completely convenient gakpo would cover Diaz in shape from the beginning. But as the Champions League show shows the Champions League showcase, this is not the ideal world.
The Dutchman may not be suitable enough to play from the beginning; The fact that he was not among the first to take the video against PSG, so much insinuir.
Nunez continues to flatter to cheat on later stages, though with a few moments to raise the place for his name. Maybe the groove should surprise a few magpi and give him Kim on number nine, filling red frenetic energy.
Gakpo’s cold head can be called, but it could be a weapon to make differences in the last stages, when tired legs abound on the green grass of Wembley. In any case, it’s a lot to think.
