Liverpool must rehire unsung hero who is ‘open’ to returning to solve one clear issue

Liverpool have a problem to solve that only one man has the answer to.

The Reds have experienced a rapid downturn in form, with fans left wondering how so much has changed in less than a year.

Performances have been way off the mark and they show no signs of getting any better either, something that has left Arne Slot’s job being questioned.

Right now, it looks like he needs all the help he can get, with there being too many issues needing to be solved in a short period of time.

However, there is one that stands out above the rest and they used to have a former coach who knew how to deal with it, with Liverpool needing to do all they can to get him back before it is too late.

Thomas Gronnemark is ‘open’ to returning to Liverpool

The name Thomas Gronnemark may not ring a bell to many Liverpool fans, but if they knew the role he had at the club, then they will know exactly who he is.

Gronnemark was the Reds’ throw-in coach between 2018 and 2023, a job that many questioned the importance of at the time.

However, his impact was felt as Jurgen Klopp’s side improved a lot in this department, with his impact also being felt massively now that he has gone.

Teams within the Premier League are moving to a more direct style of football, with there being an emphasis on set pieces and long throw-ins.

This is something Liverpool struggle with defensively, as well as being able to use to their advantage in an attacking sense, suggesting Gronnemark is needed back now to help in all areas of the pitch.

The former coach has also hinted that he would be willing to rejoin the club, with the Dane responding to a fan on X.

“They are always welcome to call me. I’m open for (almost) all teams,” he said in his reply, showing what Liverpool need to do next.

Liverpool’s players need to work on their aerial ability

It is quite clear on the eye that Liverpool do not have a really small squad, with many of their players over six foot tall.

However, players like Cody Gakpo, who is six foot three inches tall, are not good in the air to say it politely, with his height almost wasted.

With that said, Slot needs to work on this with his players, as former stars such as Luis Diaz were brilliant in this department despite being one of the smallest on the pitch.

Whether the Reds like it or not, the style of football in the Premier League is adapting and adapting fast, so they need to jump on the bandwagon before it is too late.
