Slots Summer Squad Rebuild 2025/26

[CCTV]

Núñez beats both Jesus & Havertz for goals & assists per minute, and for goals & assists at their respective clubs LFC & Arsenal in total.

Not enough Goals and assists the reason why Nunez had to go for most lfc fans....
But lads worse than Nunez the sign of the quality in their squad

On stats this season Gakpo v Madueke.
Madueke has 1.4 dribbles per 90. Gakpo has 1.3.
Gakpo does better defensively, passing and in attack. Goals, assists, Key passes, Passing accuracy, tackles, intercepts, fouls, fouled, headers, shots per game, clearances, blocks, dribbled past less.

Gakpo has 5 PL goal contributions, a few are tied on 5 goal contributions. They trail Halaand & Semenyo.
Gakpo is the only LFC or Arsenal player with 5 goal contributions.

Halaand 12
Semenyo 9
Gakpo, Kudus, Grealish, Pedro, Mateta & J.Anthony each have 5.

Per minute Gakpo outscored Salah from open play last season all comps, a notable feat

I'd suggest a fair few gooners would swap Gakpo, Ekitke or Isak for any of theirs other than Saka.

To my eye, we look like we'll be stronger 2nd half of the season. Over to Slot to figure it out.

I'll post my fix in the appropriate thread

Shame Havertz conversion rate, was over twice Nunez ey ???

Bore off, imagine thinking nunez is better than havertz

Do you not rememberr how many chances nunez got ??? and we made for him? do you rekcon havertz had that many?

Same with gakpo right now to be honest how many has he missed ? madueke has had injury problems, gakpo has not.... i mean look at isak coming back from injury.... plus he's more like Diaz direct, pacey.... what we need.. you know? I don't thnk he's world class but decent and I'd defo have him in the squad on the left over a 17 year old kid

the fact he can play across the Line too, he's actually more of a RW.... we need a player like that, a upgraded one.

What stats you basing your shit on ??? according to the ones i've seen havertz did more in 23 games?? last season? with injury ?

at least gakpo is better than salah now ey. and I suppose jesus is shit he only won the league and played most of the time with city, 4 times.. if he gets over injury's and back to full fitness and stays fit he can be very good for them

But I suppose all about the stats, Gakpo should've been MotM v UTD even though he should have scored 3, and missed a sitter pretty much but hey he managed to score one !!! give him the player of the year

You're fucking bonkers with stats, give it a rest

[CCTV]

I've given you the goals and assists before for our attackers in detail. Darwin makes Arsenal a better team than Havertz or Jesus.
Even last year Darwins worst for goals & assists per minute, he bettered Havertz. He produced more goals per Expected Goals, meaning he converted more of his Expected Goals. He produced more tackles per minute too.

Gakpo is better than Madueke, Trossard or Martinelli at LWF.
Rio is a young kid with 5 senior appearances all comps, PL, CL & EL.
101 minutes and 1 PL goal at this age suggests Slot rates him highly.
We also have an alleged plethora of players who want to play in Gakpo's space, and yet no cover at LWF. Jones, Wirtz, Ekitike, Chiesa.

If you look at goals scored, open play v set pieces, its an interesting opening to the season.

Cituae 12 open play goals, best in the league.
LFC 10, 2nd to cituae.
Arsenal 5, 11th in the league.

Of course its about points, and our conceding goals, but Gakpo was best of the bunch up front. The only LFC or Arsenal player with 5 goal contributions so far this season.

[Kev0909]

How is it pretty much every single fucking one of us said we needed at least a NO6 and a CB.... some of us said about a flying winger too........

yet the club and whoever is involved is blind to it? and have been for a while (no6/CB) ???

And yes CCTV are attack is obviously incredible, you know we've always been rather attacking last few seasons- I wonder why we have better stats for our attackers???? I wonder ?????? I'd rather be solid and be able to score, not this shitshow.

Get them out, simple as that, if this was a crime they'd get locked up for life.

[Kev0909]

we are 1 point off arsenal having had the tougher opponents to play so far. And our performances, well that's what it looks like to me. We go into the season focused on 2 big titles.
Arsenal go in for the PL, and CL a potential see what happens. Arteta likely to be sacked if he doesn't win the PL or CL this season.
Cituae given Peps last season, look revitalised this calendar year, and happy to win either. Their 1st season not being almost everyone's favourites for the PL.

Both LFC and Arsenal have had good windows.

Arsenals added Zubi, Eze and Gykor to a lesser degree as 1st teamers.
They also added Madueke 0 goals/assists in the PL to date, and Mosquera a younger talent. Noorgard & Kepa backups.

Their fans wanted a LWF and CF.
Have they added an attacker better than, or Saka level. There's a lot of hope that Eze will be that level from theirs fans. But Eze is more a 10 than lwf it seems. Gykor has the Portugese league concern. These are my impressions of fan vibes.

LFC it was get a 6 & CB & get rid of Nunez.
I'd have moved Jota on, but sadly he passed away. Isak, Ekitike, Wirtz, Frimpong & Kerkez. 5 first teamers.
Leoni & Giorgi as back ups.
Rio has 1 PL goal to Madueke's 0 goals and assists.

On paper both teams are stronger than last year.
In terms of game changers Isak & Wirtz were most wanted, and so far Ekitike looks the best of the bunch signed by both clubs this summer.
I think we'll be fine for the flanks, football is about adapting.

Are you actually one of are amazing stats people invovled in the transfers?

Would explain a lot.

But yeah we sure are fine in the flanks, yes we're much better than last year.... yes just as good as arsenals window!

[Gurthers]

Selling Diaz seems utterly foolish now.

[jimmyliver]

Selling Diaz seems utterly foolish now.

Literally the one attacker that shouldn’t have been sold , criminal offence that

I said last year I wouldn't worry too much about losing Salah, that VVD was the key man to keep. Everyone else wanted Salah to sign up. Now there's strong rumours that Salah has signed up but will leave soon recouping a fee for the club.
I questioned the addition of Isak prior to the summer window opening. That his stats at newcastle were as the main man and he was adored. I made it clear that I'd move on 1 forward, I'd have moved on Jota and kept Nunez. So the window, didn't go as I would have wanted it to, more than most. Most wanted Salah signed up, and most wanted Isak in for Nunez. Wirtz is the type of player many called for a more technical player than Klopps midfielders.

Its a shit run of results, but I just think it's funny people are throwing the towel in already, even on a top 4 finish & calling for Slot to go.

[Kev0909]

I'm not calling him to go, but it won't be long until shit hits the fan if it carry's on like this

can you honestly see a plan, or getting out of this?? because I see nothing changes, it's the same shit

I hope i'm proved wrong and we put a end to this run and start winning games in a row.... but as I said after the 5 wins we've played shit and got lucky in them, think we've played about 120 minutes worth of good football in the league in 9 games? in total.

And it's getting worse, not better, I don't see anything to give me hope right now, please prove me wrong statman, is there anything to be positive about, am i completely wrong, are we fast improving and i'm blind ? honestly it's like watching utd last season but better quality players, we have no idea in attack, no idea how to defend, we have no midfield, and the midfield we did have today would get bullied by butch school girls not sure what the tactics are or how we're meant to be playing?

Not sure why slot is talking in the press so much, the other day he basically told every team to just be direct and use long balls against us, nice one lad, he was going on about how teams changing against us etc......telling every team basically the above to beat us..

There's been no improvement in the league, if anything we're getting worse, it's not acceptable

I would love to be eating the largest ever humble pie in football history come May but somehow I very much doubt I will.
