All Aboard the Slot Express

[Nineteenx]

A load of drivel

Slot has unnecessarily changed a winning formula and sold Edwards and Hughes on his pipe dream to the extent they went out and spent 430m on players for a system we hadn’t played

The system he seeks to employ WILL NOT work, it is the same of the model Guardiola employed for years, which he became unable to continue employing after the 2019-2020 season as a result of too many sides becoming very accomplished in low blocks, pressing and counter pressing and setting traps and plans to win it transition and successfully counter which is unsurprisingly what teams have been doing to us

All the fans have seen what these players can achieve played in a 433 in the style they played for 10 years and know this change was needless and ill thought out They've also seen Isak perform in a 433 for Newcastle.

We have missed out on significantly strengthening an already winning side and squad and actually weakened it by selling Diaz our only true winger/forward and Nunez

Slots plan to instill a designated playmaker is also an absolute nonsense the team as a collective has to be the star and although it will never be successful it is preventing other hugely talented players from making things happen as they are setting up to try and facilitate Wirtz running the show, its not the 1990’s anymore you just can’t do it

Slot should go as soon as a suitable candidate is available so we can start getting the quality players we have back in to good routines and automation and winning with style and conviction ready to start next season well

My philosophy on football hasn't changed

Another very honest appraisal from the manager post Fulham:

[Nineteenx]

Another needless 2 points dropped and poor display

He’s essentially a fraud he came conforming to the existing successful strategy and formation won with another mans team and squad then spent all the money saved by his predecessor working on buttons for 9 years on his personal fantasy

He should go and Edwards and Hughes with him

We don’t even have one top quality winger/forward in the squad now, we had one top one and sold him, who could also play false 9

[JockStrap]

You could continue with that gibberish or you could listen to the man himself. Try the presser above. It's quite good.

[Nineteenx]

I loathe his pressers and his arrogance

He has caused this shit and it is shit it is dull as dish water passing going nowhere garbage and it will NEVER be a winning formula in the Prem

Well it did win the league. Just last season in fact. And he literally says in the press conference:

My philosophy on football hasn't changed

So one of you two is wrong.

[Nineteenx]

I obviously has changed only a fool
Would deny it

Unless, a lot of what they were doing last season was still the strong automation of everything Jurgen has them doing and Slot is taking it out of them minute by minute

[JockStrap]

Well I'm left with 2 choices. Believe Slot or believe you.

Can you guess which one I'm going with?

[JockStrap]

Arne Slot on whether Hugo Ekitike will be fit in time to face Arsenal on Thursday night:

It's always going to be a thin line and a difficult balance. If a player is not available [on Sunday], is he then available in four days?

[JockStrap]

For those that think Slot winning the league was all down to Jurgen, you're talking complete nonsense. Slot had the team performing better in every regard. That's why he won the league with that team and Jurgen didn't.

The team was better under Slot in every meaningful way:

Metric	Klopp 23/24	Slot 24/25	% Change
xGA (expected goals against)	1.2	0.9	-25%
Shots from fast breaks	38	56+	+47%
Big chances per 90	2.9	4.0	+38%
Conversion % (Salah, Diaz)	15.8 / 8.5	23.3 / 18.5	+47% / +117%
Goals from build-up attacks	0.16	0.28	+75%

This proves that Liverpool tactical formation analysis under Slot is not just theoretical—it’s delivering tangible results.

There is no more discussion to be had.

Oh yes and Jurgen didn't have a team of new players as Slot does this time did he? He hadn't just rebuilt the ENTIRE midfield? 4 new mids - years late but all in one hit..

So you want to compare players arriving in a new league and a new country with those same players after 1 entire season of Klopp's coaching..an in their second season...? How have they fared in their third? Bullshit pedeller.

You are literally talking outta your arse in a desperate attempt to prove that black is white. But it will never be.

Klopp rebuilt a side that was aged and smashed after missing a near quad by a whisker and the dreadful season of 2022/23 - where we missed out on CL football. A team with a smashed midfield including perennial sicknotes the club refused to move on..and due to a lack of backing...

He rebuilt it before he left and handed it to the next man. He still managed 82 points in that season despite announcing his departure and a massive injury pile up.

Now which bellend is posting links..


Twat.. Go join your pal kev who abuses people with derogatory names for those with Down's syndrome

The pair of you and that GIMP all a disgrace to the club..

[JockStrap]

I know it doesn't fit your miracle worker narrative but the numbers are the numbers. They don't lie.

Slot simply did an incredible job last season and he deserves all the plaudits for that.

Beyond that, if you want to discuss tactics then read the article. For all the wannabe fantasy football managers, that's how you do tactical analysis. Breakdowns backed up by facts. If you have alternative facts then I'm keen to hear them.

Nonsensical theories without any substance are not welcome in this thread. There are plenty of other threads for that.

Oh He's off again

Pot
Kettle
Black

That's it stevo let it all out

I don't even have to post it's brilliant, nonceyboy go lick some arse a bit more

[Steveo]

Well it's the truth and you can try to be as snide about Klopp all you like Kev. Go pat yourself on the back. Top fella Top Red

It's not anger I feel - but sadness that we have such types as s called Liverpool fans.

[JockStrap]

He's not being snide about Klopp. It's ok to point out that Slot did a better job with the team, which my stats categorically prove. That's not a dig a Klopp. He was fantastic. So is Slot. Two things can be true.
