    Well we could have kept Diaz and not bought Wirtz

    Diaz was our only actual credible winger letting him go to bring in a 10 to release our non existent wingers was plain dumb too

    Nunez was a pain in every oppositions arse who created panic we could have melt him and just signed Ekitike

    I think the recruitment has been a shambles and any proposed change of system & style of play absolutely ridiculous

    Slot seems to have a massive ego and if he’s wasted 350m of players to play a system that was a pipe dream it was obvious wouldn’t work in the Prem he’s a proper clown

    At least he ate humble pie and played our best players in a system and formation that much better suits their individual and combined abilities last time out

    If he tries to or intends to ditch the 433 he should go, we won’t improve trying to play how he imagined would work, 6 losses in 7 games demonstrated perfectly well it won’t

    I think the players were pissed off with the change and treatment of senior players like Robbo & Mo & maybe the treatment of Ekitike too who never should have been dropped for Isak he should have had to wait

    I think the players were also pissed off Slot seems to think he can out think and out football teams in the Prem without having to run through brick walls

    Well I visit the place almost every day for a quick read and have done for around 17 years or so. I'm just not generally a poster. I think I just got very annoyed after Brentford and especially Palace because it was a surrender before the fact.

    I'm still not convinced that Saturday's result is a corner turned though. Villa wasn't really much of a test, because for some reason they didn't use the tactics that every other team has cottoned on to. I can't imagine that Madrid and City will be that naive. I'm very nervous for what Trent could do on Tuesday, and anyone passing to Haaland could do next Sunday. Still. Fingers crossed...

    For me, him in or out comes down to how much he was involved in signings.

    If he had say into it, he should not be moaning about the squad at all.
    No one told him to spend 350m or whatever on isak wirtz and ekiteke.
    He says other areas need strengthening, but that was clear before the above was done.
    Of he had no choice in the matter then fair enough.
    Yeah. We might never know how much say he had. You'd imagine that they have a list of players that they need and problem areas of the team. I'm sure Slot knew that a lot of players would have to be sold in order to cover the costs of bringing in big names. There might be some reason that they seemed to throw all the eggs in the Isak basket and also Wirtz. Seems strange to us but surely there must have been a strategy behind it.

    The big miss was not getting Guehi. Had they got him you'd say it was a very good window on paper.
