    Nobody fucking moves for him. No one moves, we get the ball and all the forwards and midfielders just line up on the edge of the oppo 18 yard box and just stand there.

    There's no passing lanes, or triangles. It's all just very static.

    And there's absolutely zero transition. As soon as we regain possession we immediately pass the ball back and let the opposition set again.

    If this is Slot's tactical masterplan. I dont want to watch it. It's slow and easy to defend against.

    Wirtz hasn't been great, not by a long stretch and you can see the confidence ebbing away after each game. But he's being helped.

    He's not a winger.

    If he was brought in to play as a 10, fucking play him as a 10 but have the two midfielders sit ffs! I'm sick of watching Grav bloming forward or the game just bypassing Mac. Just sit a few yards deeper.

    It's a complete and utter mess at the moment. And I think it's all steming from Slot.

    Every single possession has to go through vvd it seems. City cut that option today and we were fucked totally. It’s lvg mark 2 type slow ponderous Dutch shit. You need a team full of Ajax academy graduates to make it work. And even then it’ll struggle in the prem.

    City aren't the 1st to do that either, cutting vvd off. I'm pretty sure palace did the same thing. Left Konate have the ball, but wouldn't let it get to virgil.

    Klopp seems to think he's a generational talent. Would he have gotten more out if him?

    The money spent on Carrol was at least covered by the fee for Torres. And he chipped in with the odd goal now and then. This poor fucker on the other hand is absolutely wank.

    we already have a player in the same bracket and that's Curtis Jones. Slow, ponderous, loses the ball under little pressure and cant pass 5 yards without the ball being intercepted

    But - for those who were watching - today - one of our better performers in the midfield (Szobozlai apart) despite the lack of minutes. Kept the ball better than most
