Wtf was he doing... complete brain fart.

Watford would have sacked him and sacked the manager that followed him This team doesn't have the legs to play Klopp football.

He's terrible this lad, another Moreno. Watching him defend with his arms behind his body, even outside the box, is infuriating.

I'd love to hear from Slot on how he is actually asking the team to play, because I've no idea currently. There is no press, high, mid or low. There is no urgency. There is no high possession. It's not direct. It's not wide overlapping fullbacks, it's nothing.

Get rid of Slot, sell Salah to the Saudis in Jan for 100m and buy some wide players with pace and a monster #6

I've no idea what we are trying to do, how we play. There is zero press apart from Dom on his own, and no clear pattern on how we intend to create. Midfield non existent again, Macca anonymous again, Konate making mistakes again, Kerkez trying but ultimately bang average....

Rob?

C'mon, game tonight lads

Any leaked team news? Has Poulsen made it?

Phew.... bloody hell @PhilM

Yep, we just can't stop conceding, and that's not down to the defenders on their own, but the team as a whole, we are still so easy to get through. Gini, Henderson and Fabinho made the lives for VVD and others a walk in the park. They also recycled the ball and got it to our forwards quicker. WIN THE MIDFIELD!!!

Yes, change the way we play also. Get it forward quicker. Slot admires Pep, and seems to want to recreate what he's done, but the league has moved on from that, even Pep has moved on from that.

I don't think there is a defence anywhere that would enjoy playing against both Isak and Ekitike in a two. I'd start there.

I think it will be fascinating when Salah leaves for AFCON. We may then see a different approach in attack, maybe even Wirzt with both Ekitike and Isak in front.

Isak suits counter attack, which makes you wonder why we signed him

Yeah, thats seems to be the case. I think Ekitike threw a spanner in the works by being much better from the off than anyone could have expected.

They've walked in to a room of people still mourning.

I've had two significant losses this year, one in Feb and one in Sep, I honestly don't feel like working at all, it feels completely irrelevant. With elite sport, we know even a 5% drop off will have a massive impact.

It basically sounds like all the unity that Klopp spent years building has gone. Slot not trusting so many doesn't help with this, plus he's more cut throat in his approach, more cold. Think Quansah (should never have sold him).

So, you're Slot, what would you do next with the team? I'd consider a big change. I'd do what is necessary to win midfield, become more solid. I'd go 4-4-2 with all midfielders and defenders to play the game in front of them, I.e. not running forwards past the ball (there'll be exceptions). I'd also use it to get Mo more central also, as one of the two. Back four with Gomez right back, he needs to be playing there right now. Then midfield 4 of.. Gakpo, Grav, Macca, Dom Then Isak, Ekikite, Mo and Wirtz fighting for front 2 positions when fit. Mo and Wirtz given freedom to roam in 10 roles. Ekitike and Wirtz also the left mid options when needed.

Regardless of everything everybody is going through, Slot is making tons of mistakes. Team selection, tactics and man management. He's regularly f***ing up.

Because people like him f***ing love football. There'll always be the itch.

This nails it for me. He has no trust in those that can and want to help so he's making his own bed every week. Dom at right back is insane

Bye

Arsenal, City and all others were s*** last season. He's done now surely, he doesn't get this league.
