It doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that your argument for Slot is basically, “well no one else wanted it and Tuchel, eh, no.” Also I don’t get why you are devaluing that Ajax semi finale. It was an amazing achievement with what he had to work with. Slot’s team didn’t even get out of the group stages in his only CL season.

I dont get what Xavi has to do with Slot and Liverpool? Xavi had experience as a player and captain of the club he managed and an extensive knowledge of Spanish football due to his background. Arne has never played or worked outside Holland. Yes. And that was an amazing achievement for Ajax.

I mean his Ajax team had done really well in the CL so I guess that's what got him the hot stuff tag.

Am I the only one who's still underwhelmed by all this? I mean he's most likely a good bloke and all but he has very, very, very little experience with this coaching stuff.

His effort defensively was admirable imo

Adeyemi was fantastic yesterday.

That one makes sense as he is a left footed CB and Matip may well need replacing but he’s only been at Frankfurt for like 10 months. I don’t know if that makes any difference.

Depends on which type of 10. Alexis can be a playmaking 10 but if we want someone more goal forward I think we need to go to market. There are few things more fun as a fan than buying a 10.

Tierney must be made up. He can f*** over Klopp one last time in front of a packed Kop. Tierney must be made up. He can f*** over Klopp one last time in front of a packed Kop.

Thank f*** Thanks for clarifying I really didn’t search for reactions. You just have to trust me on that one. I was literally throwing my phone away after each post trying not to go back. I had to install an app lock app and force lock my browser just to get some sleep. I know it’s weak and pathetic but I just couldn’t cope.

You do you mate. Absolutely outrageous to say the Ødegaard call was correct. For me the lads were absolutely fantastic. The refs took it away piece by piece. I'd given up too.

Mate. I hear you. No team is perfect. Arsenal lost home to Villa two rounds ago. City aren't clear yet. Everyone has issues. Everyone has defenders making howlers and star men missing sitters. But saying we aren't good enough when you know the amount of adversity they put us through is saying those things didn't matter. It did matter. It changed everything. It wasn't just one time. It was consistently applied throughout the season in those key matches that could have changed the tide. If you want to grade something or deliver an opinion then at least have the courtesy to include all factors. I'm not having these sly half-arsed digs.

I honestly have no idea what you are trying to achieve here but have at it if it makes you feel better. By all means let us pretend that a blatant pen not given in stoppage time in a tied up six pointer game against a direct competitor doesn’t make any difference.

And there it is.

You are. Calling it a B- season. I find it insulting tbh.

Sure. But it's not mad slagging off the boys while the refs take one penalty after the other from them? Do you not think the Doku pen was a pen?

That's what you are going with? How on earth are you supposed to win games when they don't allow it to happen?

That's a really poor take in my opinion. Did they forget that we most likely would have beaten City if b*****d refs didn't steal a perfectly blatant penalty in the dying minutes of a 1-1 score line. I think the same goes for the Ødegaard handball. And don't even get me started on the Spurs game. They weren't even debatable decisions. It was straight up theft.

The only b*****d ever to get injured by heading the ball away all by himself.

Brøndby up 1-0. Suzuki scores again. He's been on fire lately. Gonna win them the league.

Must be nice not having to deal with any sort of big injury crisis over a full season too. Sign their doctors.

Yup. What we had was a world class manager. Now …. It’s pretty much a brand new project just with fewer dollars than the other top teams and a new head coach with no top level experience. It is what it is. But I won’t give up that’s for sure.

They won’t.

Wirtz is absolutely staying. His dad basically share the plan months ago. Wirtz won’t leave to sit on a bench somewhere (Bayern) and if he can’t get those assurances he’ll just stay put until he can.

Even still we would be well short. But yeah I’m with you on getting fresh blood of the highest level. And those two you mention would absolutely improve us. 50 won’t get you anywhere these days. I say give him a go with Arne. Arne was the archtypical Dutch #10. He loves attacking football. He’ll love to mould something of out that silly lump. Plus a 4231 will give Darwin much more support than the 433 as he would be more of a advanced forward than a pressing one.
