Taxi for Slot

[jr81]

Listening to slot post match, seedorf asked him straight out does he plan to sit with Mo. He avoided a direct answer but came across as no. Basically said Mo should. Be making the first move, I'm assuming he wants an apology from him, which is fair enough.

But it doesn't sound too positive that Mo will still be here in January.

Mo knew what he was doing when he went to the press. He knew the likely outcome.

All been caused by the monumental error of spending 430 million on players while letting one top top player go, to try and play his fantasy way of playing with a designated playmaker that no-one uses anymore in an unproven, untried and untested 4231 walk the ball into the net style with these players

Slot also said in his Conference yesterday that all players have a chance to come back.

I'd like to think Slot's open to it, but he perhaps (understandably) feels he shouldn't have to come to Mo asking for an apology or for the conversation - which is fair enough really.

Salah has every right to an opinion and even has the right to go to the press (much as I personally can't warm to that choice) but there are always going to be consequences. He now probably needs to breathe deep, knock the Manager's door and have the discussion where it should always have been - behind closed doors - then see what comes from it.

Much as Mo may have been in dreadful form this season, I don't think anyone wants to see his LFC career go up in flames. Not to mention that, sentiment aside, you'd want a forward of his talents in your squad when we have to finish in Champion's League places, challenge for the Champion's League and potentially challenge for the FA Cup as well.

So many games and having a player who is almost never injured be available is certainly more than helpful!

one thing is for sure, if Salah goes we'll need a RW and LW....

can't just count on gakpo and chiesa to stay fit longer than 5 mins, already need a LW

CB&LW please hopefully salah stay till summer then CDM&RW

[JockStrap]

Frimpong is an option on the right. He also needs to stay fit for more than 5 mins but I'd like him to get a run of games. He's a good player.

Don't think it's an IF with Mo.. I mean I don't know but it looks clear he is 'Persona non grata' and I mean with the club. He must be off. His fee will help with any replacement and some. I'm hearing Guehi is still keen and Semenyo wants in...

Rumours yes.. but IF that happens...and despite probably not landing all the positions we needed to - we will have still have landed a lot of very decent players since last summer.

Add those 2 and SURELY we get a decent tune out..for the second half of the season ?

I'm sure he can't wait with fans like ours

A Liverpool man has been charged with racially abusing the Bournemouth footballer Antoine Semenyo during a match at Anfield.

Semenyo can play anywhere across front 3 and if he arrives and if salah leaves could be seen as a straight swop for salah.
Also have to consider if slot will stick with last nights 4 4 2.

I aswell as most I'd imagine would be over the moon with those two in January. Fingers crossed your sauce is on the money.

Still think we need him and another that can do that in the long run, but the extra player can wait till the summer, not enough depth and options atm imo, and Chiesa is pointless... we're very short on the wings.

Please don't tell me gakpo is all i'm going to be seeing on the left this season and next...... please please, 2 forward players on the flanks eventually

I think that would be a fantastic January window if that were to happen.

That would solve a good bit of the defensive issues as Konate has looked dodgy all season which has resulted in teams letting him have the ball. How many times have we seen a game where the ball keeps getting played back and it ends up with Konate yet again..? It would allow us to rest Konate or VVD which would help to elongate VVD's time with us hopefully and maybe restore Konate back closer to the levels he was at in previous seasons.

Re the Semenyo one - that would be such a coup. We desperately need movement. From what I've seen of him he would provide that. Since Mo has dropped off even in the past couple of seasons we've lost that marauding movement we once had. I think with someone like Semenyo, it would mean defenders would have a lot to worry about which would create space for Ekitike, Isak and Wirtz.

won't hold my breath but....let's hope...

Slot is our coach. Funny how Edwards & Hughes arrived after Klopp quit & we end up with a coach struggling to fit players into a system that doesn't work. Something is rotten way above Slot & Klopo was not going to take it. Klopp would never come out & say why he really left he has too much respect for the club & the fans that make it special. I will mention Mo again because he has shown total disrespect to the club that made him but he can leave as a legend or leave as a Michael Owen or many others that ruined their legacy. Should he get a fairwell against Brighton?He should get a round of applause & goodbye as he sits in the terraces because he should never choose when he plays

Indeed - if we do decide to persist with that system as the template, our width will be coming from full-backs, somewhat negating the need for traditional wide players.

Though you absolutely always want to have the option and multiple player profiles for dealing with different types of opposition side.

[KingCanny]

Slot refuses to make changes while moaning his squad is too small. He tells every team that we struggle against a low block. Hes a coach but never a manager because his man management skills are lacking. He admits he has never spoke to Harvey elliot. He refuses to play chiesa when the guy could save his job. Wirtz signed because he had a system to suit him. His set piece coaches are a disaster. Dutch managers dont work in prem. I hope I am wrong but far too many doubts Klopp was a legend but he lost 4 or 5 home games in a row & , an Allison goal scraped us into the champs league. I doubt it but I hope Slot turns it around. My biggest dread is we become the next man utd hoping the next managr will change it. Stability is our only hope
