Hiller: Wilz s performance is not good because Liverpool has no No. 10 position. Liverpool s current state is not a disaster

English football legend Alan Shearer wrote in a column, talking about Liverpool's current situation and his own analysis.

How do you view Liverpool's recent status? Although I suffered a series of losses, is this a disaster?

Liverpool's current form is not a disaster, but it is indeed worrying. Especially everything that has happened in the last two games. This season, they have repeatedly relied on last-minute goals and final wins to pass the game. We all say this is a positive signal, and it is true. If you play badly but still win, it is definitely positive. But in the last two games, they have played badly and both lost. This is worth worrying, especially the way they lose. In the game against Crystal Palace, they should be behind 0-4 or 0-5 in the first half, which is by no means an exaggeration. If it weren't for Allison's outstanding performance, they would have been beaten long ago - by the way, he was injured Tuesday night.

Slott made adjustments Tuesday night, and he was still looking for a formation that would allow new players to fit in and perform well. He didn't let Salah start, and he could do that considering Liverpool's next schedule and workload.

He tried to get Flynnon to play right in the three forwards and arranged for a midfielder to play right back with right back Bradley on the bench. So, yes, he's still looking for the right formation that will make them run smoothly, hard to beat, and reach last season's level.

They are far behind in the last two games. They don't deserve anything in the game against Galatasaray. They didn't play well enough, and the problem was not only on the front line, but also on the defensive end, which was bad again. They are still looking for a balance in protecting Konath and Van Dijk. The opponents have found gaps between their centre-backs and full-backs countless times, with Konath and Van Dijk being isolated and unable to deal with Osmayen.

Liverpool has a lot of work to do, but I won't call it a disaster yet. You can't say that, because they are still at the top of the Premier League. But the situation must improve and Slot must find a balance as soon as possible.

Is it possible for Slotte to return to the successful system of last season?

The integration of new players is difficult. Slot now has Ekitic and Isaac, who has not fully recovered yet, but he will recover after international matches. I wouldn't be surprised if Slot tried to return to last season's system and get as close to that configuration as possible, namely three midfielders, two wingers, a forward and a fixed four-back.

I guess that would be Salah, Ekitic and Garkepo, who might be on the left. The three midfielders are McAllister, Herafenberg and Sobosloy. Then there are two full-backs they signed. I mean, he can use Andy Robertson as well.

If he returns as close to that system as possible, I would not be surprised at all.

I think the best position for Wilz is the No. 10 position, but Liverpool does not set this position. The problem is here. I understand the criticism of Wilz, but it is not his own fault, because of his high value, he will always be placed under a microscope. He must work hard to live up to the price. There is no doubt that he is a very talented player, but the key is how to fit him into a system that worked so well last year but not so smooth this year, as Liverpool does not have a No. 10 setting.

In order to get Wilz to play, Liverpool made some sacrifices in the midfield staffing. This is worth keeping an eye on, but I wouldn't be surprised if Slot returns to the system that worked last season.

When is the best time to judge Isaac?

Regarding Isaac, I want to say that he has hardly played much since May. He didn't do normal training during the preseason, so after international match days, you can't see Isaac in his best form. We still have this weekend's game, and then he will go to the Swedish national team and use that time to restore the game's physical fitness. By then, I think it's the time to judge Isaac's performance at Liverpool.

I don't think Newcastle fans will shed a tear because he failed to quickly gain a foothold in Liverpool!
