All Aboard the Slot Express

Lame duck because the entire setup is a joke. He will be the fall guy.

But the bedrock is still the team Klopp built coached and managed

Results this season are not down to the quality of players in the squad. Its a rotten camp within and that's clear as day.

It might be as simple as Salah causing stuff. Salah is a massive character in the team. He's been the top player for the guts of a decade. Younger players are not going to take him on. A young manager comes in. Salah's been awful all season. Fans cry out to bench him. Finally the manager does and Salah goes straight to the press. Then goes to Afcon. Comes back and young manager seems to capitulate and he's back in the team. He then takes part in Ramadan which means again he's below par. Yet he's still in the team. Salah's been great for the side for so long but I would suggest he's a toxic guy in the camp right now cos if things aren't done his way, he throws a strop and are young players going to go against the star player?

Even Klopp struggled to keep Salah in check. Big players, big egos.

Salahs interview was an attempt to get slot sacked. Slots been a lame duck ever since, MacAs interview similar and Virgil not far behind both.

Slots looking at his final year of contract this summer. Think he'll leave as hes been undermined publicly by key players.

Whatever has gone on behind the scenes, this is LFC and the club is greater than any player, clique or manager. Performances have been a disgrace, starting with effort & attitude, the basics.

A pathetic attempt to paint a club legend - Mo salah - as the primary cause of our joke title defence - and monumental screwup - despite the huge outlay in the first summer - post Klopp - where they went into the market and tried to fill his big pants.

Only someone who hasn’t set foot in the ground on a match day - could cook up such a rubbery bowl of tripe.

remember when CCTV claimed Gakpo had a better season than Salah last season? only person on earth who thought that must have been him

You're the only person whose gone to Anfield and posted Arteta overtook Klopp & Slot had a more a complete form of football than Klopp, both within months of Klopps departure from LFC.

I breakdown the impact of Klopp, how his 1st 4 years at LFC were so low in terms of net spending he was 15th in the table for net spending over this period. The Klopp effect.

You say JwH hoodwinked Klopp. Poor Klopp the gullible fool...

You're not very good at arguments, as you lack integrity & substance.

Widely regarded Mo was a shitbag for his interview.

This is a quote of mine.

Salah will win pots, I'd say Gakpo has actually had a better season.

Gakpo made it into our strongest 11 over the season.

He outscored Mo from open play per minute last season.

His goals and assists per minute stats compared reasonably well with Mo's last season, once you removed Mos penalties.

Mo was a balloon door shout last year. Big media fanfare meant VVD had no chance of winning pots, on Merit he had a great shout for Pots.

In Klopps last season and Slots first season, Mo Salahs goal or assist per minute stats were essentially the same at LFC all comps.
Goal or assist per 80 minutes in both seasons. He played more minutes under Slot in his debut season than he played in Klopps last season. Thats where the big fanfare came from, the raw/total goals & assists, per minute he was as good as Klopps last season.

Gakpos goals and assists per minute stats were better than Diazs last year as I recall.

So thats a quick rundown on what I said and why. Heres an appropriate thread.

And I'm the only person who dared to question Salahs number last year.

Clear as day our forwards Diaz/Nunez/Gakpo/Jota ran their arses off to make a system work to its utmost.

And that system was to Mos benefit.

That plan & system was busted by Enrique in our CL exit last year.

I recently had a brief online discussion about the rave track "Trip to Trumpton". A banger of a tune.

"There," says the Mayor, "That's that".

[RedMagic]

Too many players have been poor all at the same time for Salah to be the one to blame for our issues. The one unifying factor is Slot.

Heres some analysis, aka reality testing.

For Steveo, my last post of substance on that thread. Page 1.

Klopps later years 2020/21 to 23/24

Total 303.85 net.
Gross spend 493.6
Gross sales 190.25
Market value shift +181.15

Klopp early years 16/17 to 19/20

Total 93.35 net.
Gross spend 456.15
Gross sales 363.8
Market value shift +81.6

Klopp at Dortmund 08/09 to 14/15

Total 63.41 net.
Gross spend 184.68
Gross sales 121.27
Market value shift *cant be arsed doing it now

7 full seasons at Dortmund.

Over Klopps Dortmund tenure

They ranked 31st in Europe on gross spend, LFC were 5th.
They ranked 31st in Europe on net spend, LFC were 9th.
Now that's obviously inclusive of pre-FSG times going back from 08/09 to 14/15. But this is about Klopp.

Klopp had success at Dortmund. He had his choice of clubs, and he chose LFC. What a time. Polling at that time was 70% for Klopp & 30% for Carlo. N4C didnt believe we could entice Klopp, a doubter, but not in Klopp himself. Just the ability to land him.

Klopp arrived and turned a net profit in his 1st full season. Small. But thats Klopp.

LFC BR 12/13 to 15/16.

Total 173.86 net.
Gross spend 406.63
Gross sales 232.77
Market value shift +4.1

In Klopps 1st 4 years he spent about half (53.7%) of what Rodgers did net in the previous 4 seasons.

And look at those market value shifts....

Br +4.1 & Klopp +81.6

Spent half as much & improved the squad way more.

If you want to see the pure impact of Klopp look at his first 4 years. BOOM

Alisson
Trent Matip VVD Robbo
Hendo Fab Gini
Salah Firmino Mane

And in those 1st 4 years where that side was put together.
Klopps LFC was 15th for net spending in the PL.

This isn't a coincidence.

BR's LFC was 3rd
(a disaster by my analysis by the figures)

Slot's LFC 5th after our 1 big summer.

As said, you must think Klopps been really hoodwinked....

Or simply accept that effect, is Klopp arriving at LFC.

He took a 3rd in net spending LFC, and turned it into a 15th placed net spending LFC in his first 4 years

Could all be had in 1 thread


From the thread for Justme, a thread he started started, page 1.

4 posters gave player ratings at the time

Slot............... 10 __ 9 ___ 9 ___ 9 ___ 9.25 ___ 1

So each of our scores, the average score and the range between highest score - lowest score are above.

Using the above our pots, a tie....

#1 Virgil & Mo 9.13
#2 MacA 8.88
#3 Grav 8.75
#4 Gakpo 8.13

That makes up our top5

Top of the lot Slot 9.25

Most contentious players/biggest score difference...

Núñez 4, Jones 2.5, Tsimi, Jota & Chiesa 2, Endo & Gakpo 1.5.

In terms of Gakpo that 1.5 gap was between me 9 & Justme 7.5. And two eights from Red & Bob.

Again, there's a thread for it. Not seen much of an argument in that thread.

Bob & Red scored our front 3 the same.
Salah 9.
Gakpo & Diaz 8.

Of these players.

Núñez 4, Jones 2.5, Tsimi, Jota & Chiesa 2, Endo & Gakpo 1.5

Nunez, Jones, Jota, Chiesa, Gakpo got their highest score off me.
Justme & me ♥️, gave Tsimi his highest score.
Bob gave Endo his highest score.

Suppose slots got excuses today no salah and ekitikie going off early.

[miller0863]

Utterly pathetic performance from a club with the highest (or very close to it) wage bill in the league

Out run for the 26th time this season.

Excuse after excuse after excuse. One point from Wolves, Spurs and Brighton.

There are no excuses. It’s not just the results it’s the manner of the performances.

The lack of any sort of teamwork, patterns of play, creativity and the most criminal.. work ethic are on the manager. He doesn’t have the first clue what to do about it.

We are embarrassing ourselves week after week while our owners sit on their hands. This season has been an abject failure by all concerned
