    The old club adages such as “If it’s not broken don’t fix it” are sacred in my view and stood the test of time for very good reasons

    For Edwards & Hughes to back such lunacy and spend 430m on it makes their positions untenable too in my opinion
    Totally and wholeheartedly agree.

      Do you think what salah has done is OK? Running to the press?

      • No doesn’t fit into Slot’s plans as he’s a right forward not a right attacking midfielder

        The 2 in the 4231 doesn’t support our full backs joining and supporting 2 wide forwards being predominantly furthest forward and making runs in behind

        The wingers/attacking mids in the 3 aren’t wingers or attacking mids, suited to playing that but deeper, they’re all forwards who should be furthest forward playing in the oppositions line while also keeping their full backs pinned back and making teams have to go long or play into and through the centre where we had 3

        The change has royally fucked up the automation and mechanics and we sold the only winger we had who would have actually fitted that system

          Well if it gets rid of Slot in all for it he should have gone before I started the taxi for slot thread

          His chance was to revert to how we played last season and gradually introduce the new lads and he used VAR stitch up v City as an excuse to ditch that when we beat Villa & Real and were stitched up c Villa

          The result was we lost at home 3-0 to Forest he had to go then he can’t go quick enough for me he has no respects for time served club adages that have served the test of time

            Nah, salah is wrong here. I agree with your points in ripping up what worked.

            The recruitment in the summer was wrong, slot has changed way too much on the field from last few years. He will ultimately lose his job.

            But salah running to the press like that is poor. Any other player doing that and he would be slaughtered. Not a good look for salah.

              I don't know the details so wouldn't like to step in and judge.. What you are hearing is likely to cause controversy and grab eyeballs so it's been projected... I wouldn't do that personally no.. BUT the points he makes are valid. Also "running to the press" sounds like you've pre judged him already.

                Pre judged? I listened to what he said. Judged then.

                His first post match interview since when? He hasn't spoken in the last 6 weeks as far as I remember. So, yes, I would say "running to the press".

                  True. I just think the biggest thing here is the unrest we've thought is real.
                  I can't see Slot seeing this out. Results would cover it but we're not getting them.
                  The defining moments in our lives are never planned.

                  • Don’t agree with Salah’s comments on not needing to prove himself, but assume and hope elements have been lost in translation.

                    BUT this comment on BBC makes sense to me in response to selfish Mo - “toy’s out of the pram” narrative blah blah

                    Perhaps Salah knows more about the game than Slot a man who inherited a winning team and who has then enforced his ideas and lost key players which has resulted in this debacle. It is no surprise that under Slot the team appears clueless and top players have lost their form possibly because they don’t understand what Slot wants and frankly,neither does he.

                    • Just got back from work, another good day then and topped off with a salah drama wahoooooooo

                      shame he's going to leave on a sour note after being incredible for us, and some people should remember that, same with VVD thanks for the memories and all that.

                      what a mess this club is in, luckily we got those wins start of the season otherwise imagine how it would look, not far off 4th.

                      Pretty sure salah wasn't happy about certain players leaving in the summer too, it's been boiling up to this point, probably more to it behind closed doors

                      Maybe we go for 6 draws in a row now?! who knows.

                      Konate really is the new sakho btw, class sometimes but has his moments, we need a new partnership at the back, completely new.

                      I see gakpo had a great game again, I kinda see why salah can be pissed because he's not the only one played like shite.

                      • Liverpool will accept an offer of about £15m for 26-year-old France defender Ibrahima Konate in January if they can find a replacement. (Football Insider)


                        what you think of that?

                        • Also-Chiesa can't be happy but he's not thrown a fit yet...... bit of a joke like he needs to leave for his own good, and we need to get someone in who'll play bet he's hoping slot will get sacked.

                          What a waste of time, and fuck knows justme depends what we do in the window, we're short enough already on players

                          Gakpo,Konate shouldn't be near the first team at the moment, and that's just the start there's more players....but what can we do? play the youth that get smashed every week or what dreadful, that's something else that needs sorting

                          • True Kev, twas bizarre the selection tonight.. when Bradley was injured it was understandable we kept Gomez for the right side so didn't break up Konate and Virgil. could have easily played Gomez at centre back today. then again he can't play more than 1 game a week. so its all really shit..
