Oh he did Or a very good one depending on your view of what he was trying to do

It did but presumably because he's stopped play whay then happened to the ball effectively didn't happen - a bit like Virgil couldn't have got a penalty for the Pickford assault cos he was offside so the ball was no longer in play. Anyway, it was all a bit weird but then the referee basically tackled Mac Allister at one point so that kind of sums him up.

Well yeah, same as any team would be badly affected by their two key performers from last year stinking the place out.

The absolute worst this lot Like some awful ManUxChelsea hybrid Alonso, Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius, Alexander-Arnold....absolute rogues gallery of bellends

Yeah, great, well done, really impressed with him

I thought he was rapid when he first came Maybe less so after his injury

Worked ok last year

Has he got massively more mileage than Salah and Virgil, both of whom are older? The bigger problem anyway is that there isn't a selectable alternative.

Robbo is only 31. I reckon he should be able to play the next two. Im not sure he will because I'm not sure that Slot especially rates him.

Honestly, it's mad I couldn't give a s*** that Rio didn't get a game last night. He got plenty of minutes midweek. I care even less that we didnt see a 2-0 as the opportunity to try and turn Kerkez into a footballer.

Yeah, this kind of stuff I reckon de-cluttering the area is the way to go

And nor should they It is all absolutely fair comment though, especially given their previous life as the inventors of passing football It is working incrediby well for them at the minute but I cant believe that at some point teams aren't going to figure out how to counteract their set pieces far better than currently At that point we'll see if they can actually score goals from open play - at the minute they just don't need to so it can't really be determined either way They are defensively very solid though - albeit that is also helped by being 1-0 up from a corner after ten minutes every week, allowing them to just sit

Perfect example of the benefits of just putting in a proper shift It's what so much of our success in the last 7 years or so has been based on and a few others need to take note

Really good save, especially with the deflection.

It's what he's done since he's been here and it worked ok last season

Miles better whilst still a long way off our best Hopefully Robbo is back in for the foreseeable As others have said, I think there is a route into the side for Wirtz on the left

Made up that c*** of a keeper f***ed up for them

They had the best of both worlds, winning whilst playing well. We had it before they knocked us off our perch* playing that alehouse George Graham s***e and, like them, used it to keep the high ground when we stopped winning and, also like them, didn't really care when less attractive stuff yielded results again. They did especially all-in on the snobbery though and did always jar given what they'd always been previously. But as Wenger himself said, everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife. I defo can't blame for laughing at us wellying it up to Robbie Keane though, nobody could have foreseen that outcome.

There's something quite amusing about Tony Pulis claiming - not without justification - to have created the blueprint for the type of football dominating the league this season. Ultimate Arsenal fans won't care if it wins them the league of course but it might mean they stop boring on about inventing passing football.

The connection between Klopp and the fans was beyond that with any other manager in my lifetime. He looked the perfect fit long before he came, was pretty much word perfect when he did come, created a mood of utter joy even before he started winning stuff, stood up to the bunch of cheats down the East Lancs and produced 3 seasons out of 4 that were the greatest fairly achieved run of form in the history of football in this country. Even the fact that it went to absolute s*** when we couldn't go kind of cements the connection even more. Slot probably suffers a bit from following that, regardless of the fact that he is clearly a much more reserved character anyway. But it is also kind of why I don't want Klopp back in many ways. It feels like it could only be a lot less fun. I reckon he probably feels the same. No idea why I've said all this. Maybe it all just adds up to buying Slot more time.

Yeah, don't think it is really that relevant unless we want to go down the wormhole of it being revealing of a deeper arrogance or something which I can't be arsed with given how s*** I already feel about it. Paisley may not have taken them but he didn't seem to do much to keep them out of the Wooky Hollow or wherever either as long as they turned up when it mattered.

Apparently average tenure for a head coach in the NFL is 3 seasons. About 50% more than the PL average. Slot could still be a legacy manager. He just needs to do much, much better with what he's got.
