January Window

And I read that we pulled out of any proposed deal before a decision was made. The club were waiting for Slot to agree the deal … he didn’t.

I would question his judgement (again) if that is the case.

Yeah i'm sure that's the case...

Fuck sake Slot out.

He can either go city and have a good chance of winning the league, and probably get paid more.. or join us hoping for 4th...

[miller0863]

Widely reported now, Slot didn’t want him.

[Kev0909]

Widely reported now, Slot didn’t want him.

Well it's also widely reported city is his first choice...

Rather us not be 2nd choice eitherway....

[jozza800]

Probably Barcola who looks light weight. but thats fine. we already have Wirzt who is strong as an ox

I'm sure we could get Adama Traore...

We've spent the first half of the season complaining about Hughes/Edwards signing half a billion pounds worth of players Slot apparently didn't have a say on.

Now Slot is dictating the transfers?

It's Rodgers vs the Transfer Committee all over again...

Couldn't make it up could you..

Even if we did want him he's going to city, so it doesn't really matter, and maybe that was a factor.

Noone really knows anything....

But you know we can blame slot again so it's all gravy

Given the seemingly haphazard nature of our transfer strategy, Slot's use or non use of some of our players, and some of the strange things Slot says and does, I think that last sentence could be a lot closer to the truth than we'd like it to be.

[KingCanny]

Hate to say it but we are going to try plod on & injuries will be an excuse to keep Slot in a job. The way 9 man spurs panicked us....embarrassing. As bad as any defeat

[Nineteenx]

Slot doesn’t seem to want wide forwards in the mould of those who made us so successful in the 433, he let Diaz go didn’t want Semenyo

I still think it was a mistake not to sack him 3 months ago to stop the rot and get quickly back on track

Ekitike can play a 433 with the two wide forwards Diaz could too and be our most potent wide forward

They’ve just fucked it royally up, the recruitment guys aren’t proper football people, they got sold by Slot on his supposed ‘master plan’ involving a change of formation from a blueprint the majority of players and crucially the team played far better in and were highly successful for 10 years in

Thry all want sacking

[miller0863]

If 433 is where Slot sees us going forward then not going all out for £65m Semenyo seems absolutely mad to me.
Premier League proven and equally as effective on either flank.

I really do hope the Adeyemi rumours do not prove true, that would be insane.
Let Diaz go but don’t replace him, realise that was a mistake, ignore what looks the absolutely ideal wide forward with a release clause playing in your own league and go off to Germany to pick up someone who isn’t exactly tearing it up in Germany.

Don’t do it ffs ….

You do realise the old way of pressing from the front is old now?
Most teams press from the front, which is why Klopp had to resort to a high line in 21/22 when “experts” like yourself were attacking him for doing so even though the defence was managing.

Football is a chess game, always evolving. Teams now use a low mid block press and Slot is trying to copy the PSG model. That’s not an overnight fix. More numbers in the press in the low mid block, quick outball release with one pacey full back/winger/wingback. Pingpong being injured has hampered that. Wirtz is key to this system but it’s taking longer than hoped.

Buying guys like Ekitike and Isac isn’t some “haphazard” transfer policy like you’re going on about. It’s by design. We’re moving away from the old way because even garbage managers like Dyche are doing it. It’s old now. Klopp did it. It’s OLD!

You make out you’re some football guru but the amount knee jerk ignorant shite you post is embarrassing. Just stick to the pom poms and “Can I get an L…I…” during games. Know your limits son.

[Nineteenx]

Oh dear, watch how City Arsenal Villa and others pressed

I never criticised the high line

The 433 isn’t out of date or old it won the league last season 😂🤣

Still you did always cone here and talk nonsense

[Nineteenx]

We always pressed from the front you clown 🤡

lower level team managers press but you obviously don’t appreciate the difference in it

Or that is you’re playing against a low block you need width, you have to set up to press and counter press you can’t just have numbers looking to be in space for nothing 5 yard passes like Slot has because if you thrn lose it thry break in numbers

Count how many times we let opposition side transition to a guy right in the centre of midfield against all sides because of the imbalance of players picking up or standing in space to try and make Wirtz look good

[Lenouis]

Semenyo will be a Man City player next month.

Guehi will go to Man Utd on a free end of season. They’ll lather him with cash to get him.

[Steveo]

Really hope not, But right now we don’t look like a club that is going to attract the right candidates.

Smelt it this summer. Panic. Won title with Klopp’s team. The charisma gone. No more running through brick walls…

Quick!!! last chance to grab some quality while the brand is high…and before Toto moves the curtain.. Went all in for targets not necessarily in areas needed and missed the one we did.Feels like we are back to Liverpool FC of 2015… despite being champions.

And that is some fall.

My only hope is that my paranoia is skewing what I see.
