00:00Liverpool's season under Arne Schlott has proven a challenging campaign, marked by inconsistency,

00:07tactical questions and flashes of quality that have yet to be sustained.

00:12After guiding the club to a Premier League title in his first season, where Liverpool lost just once in their first 30 matches,

00:20Schlott's side have found translating that form into this term far from straightforward.

00:24A series of mixed results have defined their recent journey, with performances often generated possession and chances,

00:33but the lack of that cutting edge and intensity supporters have come to expect at Anfield.

00:39Fans and pundits have highlighted concerns over a lack of pressing aggression and ability to break down organised offences,

00:46with Liverpool failing to score in the first half of many league fixtures.

00:49Yeah, where are we? I think I've said so many times the answer to that question.

00:57We're not there where we want to, but we feel, I feel, we have a very talented squad,

01:01and if everyone is available and everyone is ready, then I think we can do special things.

01:10I also think we've shown that this season with quite a lot of impressive wins,

01:17but we've also shown that we've had impressive draws or impressive losses in a negative way.

01:23I mean that, so we haven't had the consistency, but we did beat very good teams already this season,

01:30so that tells you that the talent is definitely there, but the consistency, unfortunately, hasn't been there this season.

01:36Defensively, their record from set-pieces has been a particular frustration.

01:41Schlott himself admitted that conceding goals from dead-ball situations is a major concern,

01:47saying recent trends in this area are preventing the team from challenging consistently at the top end.

01:54Moments of pressure have surfaced criticism around tactical decisions and substitutions,

01:59with some supporters questioning system tweaks that have not always produced clear results.

02:04Yet, Schlott's willingness to adjust reflects a manager striving to find solutions amid fluctuating form in a demanding fixture list.

02:14And in the Champions League, and these are knockout games, and these are games where you can face teams like Arsenal.

02:21So it's also for that reason, it is an important game for us to see where we are in a one-off game,

02:29to see where we are against a very, very good Arsenal.

02:35They've been, for years, very good, and this season probably even better than the years before.

02:43Glimpses of quality remain, and there's a squad still packed with talent.

02:48Schlott's task is to force cohesion and consistency.

02:52Liverpool will navigate the weeks ahead, could prove decisive in shaping the remainder of their campaign.

02:59Than come before.

03:01– I hope you got on theission of mountngoism, and there's no way you can approach that.

03:04They awake.

03:06The solid foot of the wing is keeping up.

03:09They are up close and saben.

03:10So yeah, if you saw this, they will be ready to fight.

03:12And two days later, I skalade through this three days later.

03:14So México's are going to be ready to drop down trophies into the next few episodes.

03:16Like if you have something with office, you can help like Joseph Ellis,

03:19make out a little bit of a trophy, you can do a brief summer plaque in the situation or to work with the next level,

03:21we've seen as a former leader, but remember what I watch doing on their日á.
