      He surely has to go

      In his last 18 games he’s picked up 1.166667 points a game that’s worse than Hodgson

        And there's Chelsea and Newcastle too.
        B'mouth got revenge for us robbing them on the opening day, Newcastle will stand a great chance of evening up the score from us robbing them too.
        The trouble is that whilst we as fans look at what's happening on the pitch, those behind the scenes are increasingly focused on what's going on elsewhere, namely the balance sheets. The likes of FSG are reluctant to do what we know they should unless it's negatively affecting their bottom line.

        On top of the above you have other people within the club that have vested interests when it comes to hiring and firing. The likes of Edwards and Hughes aren't going to look good if a manager they played a part in hiring gets sacked or players they recruited aren't playing well, especially if some of those players and the manager were expensive and or they are highly paid.

        • It’s not a massive job

          Get a 433 manager best midfield

          Alisson

          Frimpong Konaté Van Dijk Robertson

          Szoboslai Gravenberch Mac Allister

          Salah Ekitike Wirtz

          Summer at least one top wide forward ideally who can play either side A No6 and a CB

            It's very much in their best interests for us to remain in the Champion's League spots, year-in, year-out.

            They may have full faith in Slot, or it may be wavering - we don't know yet - but if they have doubts, they'll want it addressed.

            An argument (if they're considering a change at the top) could be that they would rather wait until more Managers are available - and if they do continue to rate him, they may want to give him the season to see if we can finish in the Champion's League spots, or have a decent stab at winning the Champion's League itself - then reassess.

            It'll all unfold as it will - see what happens I guess.

            Summer and the 26/27 season are certainly going to create talking points if nothing else!

                Ten league wins in 23 games and six were in the opening 6 games. Fuck me.
                We could be in 8th or 9th position tomorrow potentially.

                    • Slot blamed our defeat on tiredness and having to play the same players. Did he forget that he decided to play the same players, and that we were playing a poor Bournemouth side, one that before our game hadn't beaten a top half team this season, and one that is having their own issues including losing a number of their key or best players in the summer?

                      Some people are convinced that Slot is going to be given time to try and sort things out. If he is still our manager going into next season we can write off challenging for any major trophy and we should prepare ourselves for a season where 'our' aim is qualifying for the following season's CL.

                      If we don't qualify for next season's CL it could well be seen as the worst drop off and title defence since the PL began.

                      • It’s bizarre how we went from excellent v Marseille to reverting to what hasn’t been working

                        We started very positively had chances and players bizarrely didn’t shoot

                        The goal was bizarre how Virgil didn’t see it out and Gomez wasn’t picking up

                        We need to do our very best to believe the best will happen for us

                          Considering how we've been playing the last 4 or 5 months ,8th or 9th in the league is good ,FFS .

                          • This seemed the thread for this - the BayernSpace account has had some reliable snippets in the past -

                            "Florian Wirtz has informed German national teammates and several of his former Leverkusen teammates, including Jonathan Tah, now at Bayern, that Sebastián Parrilla, Xabi Alonso’s long-time assistant at Leverkusen and most recently part of his staff in Madrid, has very recently reached out to him.

                            Jeremie Frimpong is also understood to be involved in these exchanges, with direct contact even with Xabi Alonso himself never having stopped, but what elevates this beyond routine contact is the depth and tone of the conversations, Parrilla is said to have asked highly specific and unusually concrete questions about life in Liverpool, the internal dressing room dynamic, the atmosphere around the club on and off the pitch, and even which structural or sporting aspects would require adjustment.

                            Inside those circles, Florian is increasingly indicating that his preferred outcome would be Xabi Alonso taking over at Liverpool, and the reactivation of contact at assistant level, combined with the detail and intent behind these discussions, is not being interpreted as casual or nostalgic communication. It points far more towards something deliberate, coordinated and quietly progressing in the background, with strong indications that Alonso and his staff are at the very least seriously exploring, if not already preparing for, a potential move into that environment."

                              • Of the few bits and pieces I saw of Leverkusen last year, they seemed pretty direct to me.

                                But saying that, if you watch clips of Slot's Feyenoord side, it's nothing like what we're being served up.
