I just think his success this season will inevitably give him a powerful voice also, chiesa was clearly not his pick and he hasnt played him. they will realise it will be money wasted if he doesnt fancy the player Yep Whatever the plan last summer, he's in a hugely strong position now And I imagine the club will want to back him and work with him, not against him

I think he'll have a big say, although probably within the context of a shortlist that is brought to him

It will be interesting seeing Slot put his stamp on the squad

It will be the same team as started v PSG except for quansah replacing Trent

what difference in outcome is there if he did as you suggest?

Yep And who are these players starting in place of? Chiesa - Salah. Huge drop off Elliott - Szoboslai. Huge drop off Endo - Gravenberch. Huge drop off

Indeed not. There's a chance he stays next season, Slot obviously likes his attitude. He won't be starting him often if at all though, unless he plans to give people minutes when the league is won and we are playing dead rubbers, which is quite possible, or we have lots of injuries in midfield

In the England squad. well done him.

I dont see how we could have been any better. Its an incredible first season in charge. Dont understand the talk of mistakes at all. What you are saying is Slot should have trusted and played the squad players more, and he absolutely shouldn't have. Played the squad players at Plymouth and lost. Absolutely no guarantee we win other matches we did win because Slot played less good players. I think we were behind in both matches v Southampton as it is. FSG should have bought a central midfielder when the Zubimendi deal failed. They should have bought a centre half instead of Chiesa. And nunez should have been sold last summer and a better forward signed. Somehow, Slot has overcome all that.

I don't think he could or should have, He doesn't think Elliott or Endo or Chiesa, which are really the main three we are talking about, are good enough to start. 0 starts for all 3 of them all season in league and champions league matches. And he is completely vindicated by results. 1 league defeat all season, in a cup final and topped a 32 team champions league group. We lost one very tough tie to PSG on pens over 2 legs, and at Anfield we went downhill when we did use the squad players.

Eh? slot has made zero mistakes with the squad he’s had zero backing in terms of players from Fsg he’s actually managed the squad brilliantly

I'm sure they wouldnt want to - and he probably wouldnt want to leave. So, its very unlikely but every player has a price

Dom needs a rest but he’s too important to leave out

Why are you still talking about him?

I quite like Shearer hes not snide or looking for hot takes all the time

It was much more like athletico in 2020 although psg played actual football He’s the 9 of course he takes one

None of the subs bar jones were good enough to work although quansah did well out of his natural position and showed a lot of character jones was annoyingly poor though

Absolutely Neves was superb again. Vitinha excellent.

Same here - on all counts

Diaz played well last night But he has his limitations. Doue is another level to any of our forwards bar Salah. Should offer PSG £100m for him.

100% He's brilliant. Real drop once he went off.

I think Slot doesnt trust him to be up to it speed/fitness wise I guess he's there as insurance in case we get injuries to a couple of forwards

Jones instead of who though? Jota maybe? I dont think you can drop Gravenberch, although he looks knackered. They can go all out in this one - big rest coming up afterwards

Jones has a lot more to his game than Elliott and has been largely very good this season, and last. Elliott looked like a little boy when he went on last night. Couldnt get a kick. PSG passed him by like he wasn't there.
