Taxi for Slot

[Red October]

He's our captain and leader on the pitch. He should be dropped for the weekend. Shouldn't have seen out the 1st half last night.

I argued he was the key man to sign up last year in our 3 amigos thread. He's been disgraceful this season.

Van Dijk looks like a guy who thinks he's cock of the walk but unfortunately he's making a lot of errors. He's also shouting at others all the time. Not exactly inspiring. I wonder if it's a case of not really having respect for Slot. Looks like Slot's not really in charge. Seems to be player-power. Would explain Salah's attitude too. I think the personalities are too big for Slot.

What are we meant to do though konate is just as bad

?? Gomez Endo Robbo

Grav Jones?!? Jones is shite but at least he's more fresh than the others
Szob

Chiesa -------- Rio

Isak

Never happen but at least rio & chiesa will have fight

Real shame about Leoni, because I think he'd end up playing a lot and developing this season instead going backwards with injury, typical.

Gomez, Endo and Chiesa might not be the answer but they're sat there watching Konate buffoon his way out of the club, watching Macca stroll around like he's just picked up a heroin addiction, watching Mo looking more like fucking Mido than Maradona.

The 3 of them are getting paid to play a handful of League Cup games and make up the numbers in training.

VVD helping Kerkez settle in... youre having a laugh. He's been shocking in how hes treated Kerkez. A few weeks back he cunted Kerkez out of it, Kerkez then dropped as VVD was fucking awful to him in that game.

Last night that first half from Virgil, he deserved to be hooked in the 1st half or at halftime.
Gave away the penalty, lucky not to be booked, gave away a stupid free kick and got booked. They scored an offside goal. Cut a fella with his foot high, and ended the half bollocking the refs. Looked like he was on a 1 man mission to tank the game.

2nd half, Salah let's his man waddle past him. At this point the goalscorer is VVDs man. Kerkez has a player out to his left. VVD just runs from his man creating the big space to attack. Kerkez unaware of VVD suddenly vacating his space, leaves his man and starts to come in on to VVDs guy. He scores. Kerkez gets the blame.

3rd goal moments before this goal, VVD cunts Kerkez out again. Konate with an error then and neither cb get a block in.

4th goal, inconsequential really, VVD poor for that too.

He's our captain and leader on the pitch. He should be dropped for the weekend. Shouldn't have seen out the 1st half last night.

I agree he hasnt handled it well but still think as captain he feels responsable and with new boy on his left and konate going awol plus a 2 man midfield not protecting the defence.

I don't see our Dutch coach dropping virg, our team captain, the dutch captain. Or Gakpo for that matter. There's no options to come in, could replace Konate with Gomez. After that all we have left are tall midfielders to go in, maybe Dom lol.

I'd happily be giving Endo matches at centre-back right now, or at the base of midfield if we insist on using Gravenberch back there.

Endo guarantees you "effort" - he has his faults, but anyone willing to put a shift in gets my vote right now.

[teesred]

Endo and Grav in midfield but actually staying in position would bear fruit I think.

I agree. He's never going to drop VVD and to be fair even though he's been ropey lately, he's still one of our best players. We have no-one to come in for him. I would drop Konate and bring in Gomez though. Can't be any worse than Konate surely?

We were all saying this back in September/early October - drop Konate, drop Salah....Slot has persisted with them both to our detriment.

[Ravo19]

This seasons done,i expect 2 or 3 signings in january and a strong 2nd half of the season.
Rest of years going to be tough,time for chiesa to start games ahead of off form salah and also give young rio some more time on the left.

[Ravo19]

I dont see a connection between slot and players as there was with klopp,maybe adding milner/gerrard to coaching staff would bring everyone together.

So apparently Slot wanted Diaz given a new contract. Hughes overruled and said the money on offer was too good and Diaz wasn't worth a new contract.

I think pretty much as expected by most of us on here, but little stories like this are starting to leak out. Start of a crisis inside the club once they start turning on each other.

I would guess the same happened with a cb. The upper level wouldn't give that extra 5mil to get guehi. I'm sure any manager could see we needed a cb.

Can't find d injuries thread. But seems Hugo might be out for a while with a back issue.

We're fucked aren't we?

Slot said he should be fine in his presser.
