Sounds like Slot wants to try it out inside the model. Let’s see IF it can be done across 38 gruelling Premier league games.
Agreed.
We can play short, but it needs to be quicker. When we've tried to play shorter over the last few years, we've tended to slow it down to a complete crawl and it was just painful!
I do think we have the players to play a more patient, shorter game. Virg, Macca, Jones, Elliot, Endo and Mo shouldn't have an issue with it. Some of the others might be a bit more hit/or miss at times.
