Hus

He's always had fitness issues, but our "fitness & conditioning" regime is so poor that there is little to no chance of it improving his availability.

As you say all a bit Rodgers and him wanting those who won't question his approach / have an opinion.

It is - two people who are generally reliable have also said the same thing (or hinted at it). One is the chap who generally shares info on the youth team (Lewis Bower), and the other (Chris Royce), who has been sharing team news sporadically for a while, he was the one who shared the Salah being dropped news.

Yes, I'm sure I read somewhere that Hughes is meant to be leading a team. Looks like that hiring process has already started.

All well and good having Wharton but he'll be nowhere near as effective without someone like Anderson alongside him. If they're thinking Grav, then we need another option that Slot will actually play or trust for more than 10 minutes in the FA Cup.

It was clear in the aftermath of the Salah situation just how poor his man management skills are, that arrogance, but also someone who holds grudges. Traits that don't work in top level management, let alone at our club. Can only think he was empowered by Hughes and co, probably with the aim to reduce player power. That interview with Seedorf directly after the CL game where Mo was dropped... To be clear, Mo shouldn't have done what he did, but the ability to see the bigger picture and do what's best for the club is the bare minimum that should be expected from someone in Slots position.

Think it's connected to this:

Plus how we were interested in Kvara, arrogant pricks.

Yep, but don't forget Rich got his mate Ornstein to say we were interested and ready to get bid (or something similar iirc).

True, but I expect he was looking because we weren't prepared to pay what he thought he was worth.

Amazing half. But no way that's a penalty, terrible decision.

The spreadsheet lads must have known that Lucho was odds on to leave. Kvara was the ready made replacement, or maybe we should have just kept him!

More PR today, but there are also rumours that he's about to pull a Rodgers and sack his assistant(s). Just delaying the inevitable, looks like Edwards and Hughes are preparing to write off another season. We should be looking to take advantage of the the mediocrity around us but it appears we're accepting it as our new norm.

Finally hit it hard, scored. More of that please Flo! Thank god for that.

Mo

Please, can we skip the sit back and try to control the game approach, our OOP setup is terrible.

That also

We're so much better when we play with verticality and pace, the majority of our team is built for it.

Great save from Woodman and so good to see Robbo score!

Well in Isak, lovely touch.

This is abysmal

As expected, midfield is already looking porous, sigh
