    All Aboard the Slot Express

    Right, enough of the negativity doing the rounds. If you want to moan, there are plenty of other threads for that. This is a positive space for those of us who actually want to support the manager.

    Let's get some perspective here, Slot won the league last season. That earns him the right to time and patience while he rebuilds this squad properly. We have a lot of new players to integrate. Rome wasn't built in a day.

    And before anyone starts with the "but we're playing rubbish" nonsense, we haven't even seen the final picture yet. We need to see Kerkez, Isak, Wirtz, Frimpong, Ekitike, and Leoni all on the pitch together before anyone can properly judge what Slot is building here. You don't assess a puzzle when you've only got half the pieces on the table.

    Arne will have his vision of the future. He's shown he can win trophies. He's rebuilding with purpose. So how about we get behind him instead of writing him off before the project is even complete?

    If you can't be positive, scroll past. I realise that rules out 90% of the forum but we need to move beyond all the moaning. It's killing this place.

    Fulham pre-match presser.

    Very honest assessment from Arne. Classy guy. Seems a little frustrated at times, though I think this came straight after the Leeds match.

    After the Fulham 2-2 game:

    We score two goals in an away game and we hardly concede a chance, you’d expect to win. I don’t know what it is but we concede incredible goals and we don’t concede many chances. We want to create more from the ball possession we have. For the players we had available, we played a decent game. We were close to a good result but we gave it away at the end.
    That's a fair summary.

    I've been aboard the slot express..... but the ship is slowly sinking, hopefully he turns it around, we can't afford not to be in the champions league, and if you think FSG won't act if it looks like we could possibly miss out, you're more optimistic than me

    you can't really say things are getting much better...hopefully it improves before it's too late.

    Top 5 will probably be enough for a CL spot next season. If he manages that then I think he'll be ok.

    Well yeah, I hope so because in my opinion it's chelsea or us for 4th, obviously doesn't matter if top5 is enough, bit crazy this stage of season only 6pts between 4th and 11th mind, but let's be real I very much doubt anyone else is in the race, but who knows.

    There's still a long way to go. I don't think it's a shoe in for Villa to finish in the top 4. Realistically any side outside of City and Arsenal can have massive swings in form over the second half of the season.
