Outperforming their xG which is so often this season.

He looked scared of the ball the lad. Hasnt been a chance created yet and it’s one each. Slotball.

Mayhem. Goalies have gone berzerk.

Was almost like the whole thing was choreographed.

Gosh.

So you think it was tactical to play Gomez there instead? Salah on. Frimpong off. Yeah that sounds like Arne f***ing Slot.

The only logical conclusion is that he was the luckiest manager in history with what he was given. That team managed itself. This isn’t subtle stuff that’s being said. This is brutal from fellow professionals. He’s a d****ead is what they’re saying. Too big for his boots by far. And he loves his stats so…

They’re not going to let Isak run away from them even if he wants to. He can’t pick Salah now. That’s over. You could see Mo’s face when he came on was pure ‘wtf has it got to do with you what I’ll do out there’ Can’t drop him for two quarter finals and say you’re playing now.

Needed to be Graeme Souness with those three shots he had. OMG Rio was the only player who hit a shot that skidded in front of the keeper and he nearly spilled it. f***ing once in those conditions. How are we not as professional players thinking Kop end, pissing down, make it bounce and see how his nerves hold out?

Find yourself going ‘that’s better!’ when all he’s done is tap it to Salah. Should be when he’s nipped on to a loose ball and stroked it into the corner or put someone in on a one on one with the goalie.

Imagine the likes of Sammy Lee or Craig Johnston watching this. Had none of his technique between them.

And Frimpong too? He didn’t mention either after the game. At least Gomez did have a shot. Not sure why Szobo or Wirtz didn’t think of it from a similar position.

A proper manager would be saying to him after that ‘you didn’t affect the game son’. This d****ead of a manager is high fiving everyone cos we kept the score down.

We haven’t even got into Gomez coming on for Frimpong and then being subbed. Good that.

When he is criticised, there is no respect for him whatsoever

He’s embarrassed himself this season professionally. He’s getting away with it off the media people but within the game you can see he’s a joke.

He wanted to celebrate that last night. As soon as he got home to his house in Gatley, he threw on the Gabba.

I hope we outperform our xG that’s what I hope don’t you Arne eh don’t you hope that just by saying it that it will happen? I do. I hope they perform under their xG and we perform higher than ours. Just Outperform Your xG Lads, I would say to them as they go out on the pitch. And make them perform under their xG! I would shout after them, in case they forget. I’d play Isak and say to him that it would be great if he could score with every touch as he only averages five touches a fortnight. I would say to Wirtz that there will probably be nobody to pass to so just don’t pass it further than two feet because you don’t have to if you don’t want to, it’s only a game of football and no one really cares about the outcome as much as they obviously do in the town of Leverkusen where he runs, tackles, passes and shoots the team to glory on his own back. The rest are all c**** and I’d tell them clones of Gakpo are replacing them all next season.

I didn’t and nor did my mates. Felt sorry for him if anything. They were laughing their heads off seeing him on the team sheet. Slot should be ashamed of that decision. Every coach on the planet will have shrugged and said you have got no chance.
