Sorry 100% on slot,looked clueless yesterday and has lost the dressing room.
Difference between the fight of klopp and the apparant cold distance of slot is everdent.
Has to be sacked by monday night.
Master Tactician
He needs to benched (as do 4 or 5 others!). However both he and Virg (who is looking increasingly ropey BTW) have absolutely zero shielding in front of them.Originally Posted by Steveo
The entire set up is totally borked.
The midfield is causing issues at both ends of the pitch.
Rowdy Yates
Yep, that true to a point, but I did specifically cite Konate’s woeful form for France this summer. He isn’t top class or anything close to it
First Team
i've always said he's just a better version of Sakho...... luckly for konate he's played next to a prime VVD, now that has ended he looks below average.
First Team
Yeah. Konate has looked worse this season. Was never that great. Whole team looks like a mixture of complacency and cluelessness

Playing Szobo at rb, when we are lacking energy in midfield is crazy. He is the one that has been good and full of running this year. We had 2 rb in the bench yesterday. None of them got in the pitch. Just shows how much slot rates them. But surely putting one of them or even Jones at rb so Szobo gives us the energy in midfield, is the better option.
This for me is where slot is being poor. His decision making this year doesn't make sense.
Asking grav to get forward more is another one. When are clearly struggling to keep a clean sheet. We should be tightening up. Not getting more expansive.

Doku pen against us 2 weeks ago. He cuts in from the left along the byline and gets a pen due to poor defending.
Forest 2nd goal yeatserday. Cuts in from the byline on the left and pulls back for an open player due to poor defender.
Teams are actively hitting our right side due to Konate and a different right full every game. Slot needs to do something, soon.
First Team
Konate is good in the 433 with the high line playing one v one with pressing and pressure on the ball ahead of him
He’s the best option we gave to play alongside Virgil
First Team
Agreed, but he is playing crap this year. Regardless of formation, he is missing simple tackles and giving the ball away from simple passes.

It seems that many people are putting a lot of the blame on individual players be it existing players such as VVD and Salah whose performance levels have fallen off a cliff, or new players such as Wirtz, Isak and Kerkez, all of whom have yet to put in any meaningful performances. However given that effectively the performance levels of the entire squad have been poor, I think the problem is more than individual players either simply being over the hill, not being bothered, or not being up to speed or even suitable for us or the league.
We have been piss poor since the backend of last season. That was before we signed the likes of Wirtz, Isak and Kerkez. Also up to that point Salah had be brilliant, whilst the likes of VVD, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch etc were all playing well. Nobody can convince me that all of our players have all suddenly massively declined in quality at the same time, and that most, if not all of the players we bought are not good enough or suitable enough to play in the PL for us.
There is only one unifying factor or in this case one person that links all our players, and that is Slot. You only have to look at the way he sets us up, the players he uses or doesn't use, the things he says, and what he does when things are going pear shaped to realise that the blame for our predicament is liable to be down to one man, Slot.
Slot just doesn't look or sound like somebody who has the tactical nous, gravitas or motivational skills needed to get the best out of our players or to get them going when they need a proverbial kick up the arse. Klopp was someone who could inject energy and desire into players, even those who were running on empty, or those who weren't exactly world beaters. Slot currently looks and sounds like the exact opposite in that he may well be sucking the life out of the players, something that is making our players look like they're over the hill, not trying, or simply aren't good enough.
I for one wouldn't be surprised if the players performance levels jumped dramatically if they had someone potentially less draining leading them. It will be interesting to see if I'm right should Slot get the boot.
