    So, Mo Salah has said the Club and the Manager have thrown him under the bus and he will be looking to leave in January.

    He won’t play Chiesa, thinks Rio is too young and he’s pissed off the right winger.

    That leaves him with the unstoppable Gakpo, Ekitike and Isak. Unless we’re calling Wirtz a forward now??

    Going well Arne lad isn’t it mate?

    Oh and defensively he has two fit CB’s with only Joe Gomez as cover.

    You can't blame Arne for the issues with Konate the club has caused that... Salah is in a strop. he shouldn't be so lazy when he plays. he got his contract and downed tools. Slot should be on his last legs but the players should take some responsibility

    The manager does have input into squad building, he should have insisted we needed Guehi and had the deal done in plenty of time.

    I don’t believe he had no input, particularly after winning a league title

    You see how Salah has been behaving on the pitch? shooting over the bar when its not needed and just being lousy in possession? why shouldn't Slot criticise him? at the end of the Jurgens spell. there was unrest with Salah.. Maybe Salah is a bit of moron at times?? Hes been amazing for us. no doubting it. when a player thinks hes deserves more cause hes special. then you have a problem.
    No player should be free from criticism. same with Virgil hes been terrible this season another ones whos got his wages and not done anything since.

    Has for involvement in signing players. Slot may have a say in them but at the end of the days its the hughes and the other guy that decide..
    Im not saying Slot is perfect, some of his decision making is subs is baffling but also the players need to take a look at themselves. they lost 2 points today not the manager.

    The set-up, from my understanding of it, is that he asks for what he wants and then Hughes targets players that fit that, within certain parameters (value, stats, metrics, age, whatever) - in Slot's case he apparently wanted players that would be effective against a low block (which, statistically speaking, you'd say most of our individual recruitment picks are) but I don't think he says "I want player X" - that's more on Hughes.

    That's likely true but it's still Slot who's setting us up to have so many players forward and little to no protection for the defence but today was different, it's just a complete capitulation that was reminiscent of the Brendan era and sometimes under Klopp. The blind panic sets in and it's only going to go one way.
    For all the attacking players we brought in it's just completely negated our defensive unit that was the bedrock of last season. We were scrooge like for a long time. What we'd do for that solidity again.

    Slot has to take a lot of blame , but Salah is bang out of order , he’s been terrible this season and the quote “ I shouldn’t have to fight for my place I’ve already earned it” is absolute bollocks , this is an absolute disaster and something is going to give in the next few days
