Boston has been in touch, maybe Linda made the call late at night, husky tones making it clear he better be publically thankful what he has or there be no low ball bid for guehi in Jan and it'll be a Endo and Gomez partnership CB for the FA cup run.

You're on the right page syd...

Someone (or a few) on or off the pitch is gonna have to demonstrate they are worth their wages sat night. Whole right hand side of the team is either out of form or injured and the best keeper in the PL and the most expensive striker in PL history are both injured (again).

It’s not the players Syd it’s how Slot is setting up and trying to use them

One example two of the very best front foot 1v1 aggressive CBs and a weak as piss press to not let them function at their best levels

[Nineteenx]

3 wide/inside attacking forwards being asked to play as deeper attacking mids, like fish out of water, getting in the space our attacking full backs used to enjoy thrn opening up for them to advance into too

It’s a fkn joke what Slots doing

As he’s playing them NONE of the players are being player to their strengths

[sydenham red]

Yes I have noted all of the above and that's why someone will most likely have to do something over and above (what this crazy formation produces) to help win the match. A solo effort like a szobo FK or maybe a wirtz mazy run and finish. More likely Etikite with his quick feet provides most of the threat

Re it's the system not the players that are at fault.
Sadly, and this is harder fix, I take the reverse view. Slot system not the problem. Players are lightweight, lack pace and height and more than anything lack grit.
We need a Souness or Tommy Smith re-incarnation.
Some teams show how much they hate losing. We just shrug shoulders

Looks like a collective malaise to me. Virgil and Mo - 2 of our 3 players to make the world 11 - have been miles off it,

This is what I think too.
I might be wrong but I think there's a laziness to this current side and an element of complacency with a lot of them (including Slot) after last seasons stroll.
I don't think they work hard enough for each other plus there's the predictability of our attack.
It's simply too easy to defend against side to side play that has little pace to it.

Sounds like a Manager trying to say something other than what we all know, he picked a very weak side and wasn't arsed about more games in the EFL cup. A bench full of kids.

I'm guessing he didn't mention Klopp at all ?

It's a manager saying what many of us already knew years ago...and why many of us were upset despite Klopp's successes. What some of us suspected would lead to an early departure by Jurgen Klopp as stated on this very forum just a few months before he announced it himself.

It's what will see him on the wrong side of the owners in very short order unless he recants.

Fascinating. Klopp arrived with a reputation for operating as he does. A man who ridiculed the Pogba fee, then paid those fees. A man expected to succeed on a low net spent, as that is his modus operandi.
Klopp arrived and net spending dropped instantly. You in your absolute bollocks have posted to the literal effect of, Klopp was promised more money, and JwH hoodwinked Klopp and used his love of LFC to underfund his capacity. Its absurd.

Had Klopp wanted to Pep/Jose spend at some club after Dortmund he had his pick. He was quite happy to work with our owners, over others. To be given the time to put his plan in place and deliver success.

Whilst doing that he managed LFC through covid, promoted the jabs, and missed his own mothers funeral.
He dealt with the media routinely, and tbh 1 day of Klopps life speaking with media and meeting people out and about would be exhausting for me.
Competitively he was up against Cituae & Pep, var, pgmol, fa, ffp, 115...

Klopp arrived the season before Pep, Pep had last season, a blip, over the same period of time they both had 2 blip seasons.

In Klopps latter years more so, and even in the CL success, the squad played their part. Our recent cup successes largely down to the expanded squad capacity. Taking, Div, Tsimi, etc

Klopp started out prioritising PL & Europe/CL. When the squad filled out he went for everything.
Ultimately in our big quadruple season playing every game available, we came up short v Cituae away a draw. And we lost to Real via Vinny jr in the final.
Even after all that, and having overseen developments at LFC, you slagged off the squad he left to Slot.

At the minute, we have a camp issue, and we've seen some of that before under Jurgen.

When I look at Jurgen, I see a man who ran out of steam and identified it within himself, he rebuilt the squad and handed it over to the next guy. That's a remarkable man. And based on the overall opinions hes expressed, and his actions/choices, I do not see much validity in your opinion/claim.

He recants. Slot backtracks on comments...

Interesting, it was they type of bs one spouts in the endless field of pr nonsense. Then has to admit to it, or double down.

You cant have fans saying they knew the game was done by the selection an hour before kick-off, and moan he didn't pick more seniors as they had expected 1 hour and 1 minute before kick off, and claim Slots bang on in making out he had no other choice because the squad is small.

Palace out moaning about fixture congestion now.. thats what Slot opted against. EFL, fuck it off and we move on. If the kids had won, great, another game for them.

I didn't detect any malaise when we won our first five matches in a row, we were lucky and we were shite but the players were fighting for each other, winning games against the odds, then Ekitike took his shirt off and Palace beat us. Again. Mentality rattled. Something has happened behind the scenes
