LIVERPOOL BOSS ARNE SLOT TOLD TO ACT FAST
Alan Pardew says Liverpool's defensive instability stems from rotating Andy Robertson. The pundit urges Arne Slot to reinstate the Scot to fix the Reds' inconsistent form ahead of facing Man Utd.

Despite being the reigning champions, Liverpool's defence has shown signs of wear and tear under Arne Slot. TalkSPORT deserves praise for bringing attention to remarks made by former Premier League manager Alan Pardew, who feels that the Reds' inconsistency results from their frequent rotation in the full-back positions. His answer is straightforward. Reintroduce Andy Robertson to the side.
A Full-Back Instability That Is Unsettling
Following a late loss to Chelsea, Liverpool came back from the international break in second place in the standings. They had already lost two league games in seven games, compared to just four during the entire 2024–25 season when they won the championship. Uncertainty at the back has been the cause of that decline.
Slot has favoured strategic experimentation, choosing new combinations nearly every week. Pardew wondered why it made sense to destroy a working plan. "They (Liverpool) have not really played one brilliant game, I do not think," he stated on TalkSPORT's Final Word show. "He (Slot) has made a lot of changes," he continued. The crew is full of talented individuals.
The full-back carousel has been the main source of worry. Robertson has made just two starts this season since Milos Kerkez was added last summer. "I believe there has been a problem switching the two full-backs; Andy Robertson has been outstanding for Scotland this week. Pardew said, "I do not think they have looked as good at the back." It is hard to argue. Even if the Scotland captain continues to excel at the international level, he gets displaced despite never failing Liverpool.
On the other side, things are almost out of control. Right-backs Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong, and even midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai have all been selected. It is one thing to rotate in midfield. It is another else entirely to rotate your defensive width.
Salah is still trying to find Spark.
The decline in output from Mohamed Salah was another hot topic. Most forwards would consider six goal contributions in ten games to be decent, but for the Egyptian, it is a lull. With Manchester United on the horizon, Pardew felt certain that a spectacular performance was on the horizon. Mo (Salah) has not been at his best since signing the new contract. I believe Liverpool will win that game and that he will make a spectacular comeback. I am excited for the game, which should be fantastic to watch.
His optimism is supported by history. Salah has made a living by answering questions about his form. If Liverpool wants to go back into their early-season groove, Slot will need him to start playing well again.
The Ideal Reset Is Offered by Manchester United Clash
Slot is now getting ready for a significant test against well-known opponents at Anfield. Since March 2018, Manchester United has only triumphed over Liverpool once in the league. Pardew is right to believe that Liverpool will win that game, but only if critical positions are stable again. The upcoming weeks may be shaped by Slot's agreement with his assessment.
GOAL OF MONTH SHORTLIST INCLUDES WOLTEMADE’S BRILLIANT STRIKE
Newcastle's German star Leon Woltemade is nominated for Premier League Goal of the Month for his superb flick against Brighton. Vote now for the summer signing's improvised Amex finish.

Earlier this month, the Magpies fell 2-1 against Brighton, but the German international's incredible flick tied the score.
However, the summer acquisition, who has scored six goals for United since joining from Stuttgart in the summer, grabbed attention at the Amex Stadium with a superb improvised finish from Lewis Miley's low cross.
Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert of Bournemouth, Zian Flemming and Loum Tchaouna of Burnley, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, Aston Villa's Emi Buendia, and Mo Salah of Liverpool are also on the shortlist.
Supporters of the Magpies may cast their votes for Woltemade by visiting here, and voting will begin at 1 pm GMT on Thursday, October 30. The winner will be revealed on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm GMT.
HUGE LISANDRO MARTINEZ UPDATE EMERGES AS UNITED PREPARE FOR FOREST ENCOUNTER
Manchester United receive a major boost as Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training. The Argentine defender has been out since February with a knee injury and is now closing in on a first-team return.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.
However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.
It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.
According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.
"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.
The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.
Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.
After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
