Taxi for Slot

Good God. Didn't know it was that bad.

Villa, Wolves, Spurs, Brighton West Ham.
The only wins since our glorious, but incredibly jammy opening 5 wins.

Ten league wins in 23 games and six were in the opening 6 games. Fuck me.
We could be in 8th or 9th position tomorrow potentially.

Ouch is that true

It is Ravo mate

[miller0863]

He surely has to go


In his last 18 games he’s picked up 1.166667 points a game that’s worse than Hodgson

Good grief…

Slot blamed our defeat on tiredness and having to play the same players. Did he forget that he decided to play the same players, and that we were playing a poor Bournemouth side, one that before our game hadn't beaten a top half team this season, and one that is having their own issues including losing a number of their key or best players in the summer?

Some people are convinced that Slot is going to be given time to try and sort things out. If he is still our manager going into next season we can write off challenging for any major trophy and we should prepare ourselves for a season where 'our' aim is qualifying for the following season's CL.

If we don't qualify for next season's CL it could well be seen as the worst drop off and title defence since the PL began.

It’s bizarre how we went from excellent v Marseille to reverting to what hasn’t been working

We started very positively had chances and players bizarrely didn’t shoot

The goal was bizarre how Virgil didn’t see it out and Gomez wasn’t picking up

We need to do our very best to believe the best will happen for us

Considering how we've been playing the last 4 or 5 months ,8th or 9th in the league is good ,FFS .

This seemed the thread for this - the BayernSpace account has had some reliable snippets in the past -

"Florian Wirtz has informed German national teammates and several of his former Leverkusen teammates, including Jonathan Tah, now at Bayern, that Sebastián Parrilla, Xabi Alonso’s long-time assistant at Leverkusen and most recently part of his staff in Madrid, has very recently reached out to him.

Jeremie Frimpong is also understood to be involved in these exchanges, with direct contact even with Xabi Alonso himself never having stopped, but what elevates this beyond routine contact is the depth and tone of the conversations, Parrilla is said to have asked highly specific and unusually concrete questions about life in Liverpool, the internal dressing room dynamic, the atmosphere around the club on and off the pitch, and even which structural or sporting aspects would require adjustment.

Inside those circles, Florian is increasingly indicating that his preferred outcome would be Xabi Alonso taking over at Liverpool, and the reactivation of contact at assistant level, combined with the detail and intent behind these discussions, is not being interpreted as casual or nostalgic communication. It points far more towards something deliberate, coordinated and quietly progressing in the background, with strong indications that Alonso and his staff are at the very least seriously exploring, if not already preparing for, a potential move into that environment."

Great more overpassing

Of the few bits and pieces I saw of Leverkusen last year, they seemed pretty direct to me.

But saying that, if you watch clips of Slot's Feyenoord side, it's nothing like what we're being served up.
