That means we must have agreed to them having them, sigh.

Well past the 14 days unfortunately

Come on Kerkez, ball had to be better

Flo should have scored

Wirtz had to do better there

ffs

That formation at 1:27 is all you need to see tbh, it was doomed to failure from the start especially when you consider how UTD load up that area where we only had Grav.

Agree, but a large part of the reason he's having to go "all out" is because his setup is failing, we're struggling to control games and or create chances, we're too open on the counter.

I don't think it needs to be radical, but Macca definitely needs to be dropped till he regains his fitness. He also needs to accept that Grav cannot play as a lone 6, Dom should be starting alongside him most games. Fullbacks need to take on a slightly more traditional role and provide width. Bradley needs to start at RB, if he doesn't trust Frimpong to start or come on, play Gomez. Reintroduce the press. Stop with the tactical overhauls when struggling, make smaller changes, try and play people in their preferred positions.

We didn't need to go 424, he could have brought on Wirtz for Macca, dropped Dom into midfield alongside Grav, if the latter had to go off Jones was available. Kerkez was struggling but still getting a decent amount of the ball, why not just bring on Robertson? He has this tendency to go all out when things are not going plan, throwing on more and more players till something happens. There have been games where we have regained control or are in the ascendancy and his multiple subs have made us worse. I just don't think it's good game management.

There'll be questions now, he has credit in the bank but as I said in the match thread, the setup is wrong and his "gung ho" changes might pay off 1 in 4 but they usually result in us having even less control. It's naive, he needs to get back to basics.

I thought he was finding some decent space on the right and left, but he can't do that if he also needs to track back?

It's the one thing that I have never gotten about his style when we're struggling, at some point just seems to throw everyone on and hope for the best. I'm sure there is a structure but I have no idea what it is most of the time. Today was another example, why are we going 424 with Jones and Wirtz in CM? Why was he thinking to bring Frimpong on for Gakpo? He's over complicating it, we have to regain more control in midfield and build from a stronger base.

That may not all be on Slot but alot of it is, balance off, ridiculous subs. Going 424 was mad, Wirtz in CM? Don't get it.

So naive, so many poor choices

Arne and his ridiculous subs / formation, we were giving away too many chances before he went 424.

Ffs

Cody!

No surprises there

Oh Mo

I don't get the shape we're now playing at all, we've been struggling in midfield, how does Wirtz being part of a 2 help?

Bar that shot Macca has been invisible this half

Is Mbeumo going to escape another booking?

Woodwork again

How did we f*** that up?
