All Aboard the Slot Express

The signs were there in the last 5-6 games last season. You could say the players took their foot off the gas but a decent manager would have quickly dealt with that and maintain a strong winning mentality. Not Slot, that sloppy play has run through all this season. The rot started well before ‘the first defeat’.

Yeah totally, not that it was a long season with a small squad or anything

how dare they win it by 10 pts and slack off towards end.....

It's all good saying it as a fan different as a player when you're so far ahead, and probably exhausted... but anything to have a dig at slot again

personally can't wait for the 2nd manager to win us the league in such a long time to go, what a tart... total and utter dross he is.

We won our first 5 games this season.

My view is Slot is not a coach, just a manager with a vision of his style.
Klopp was the same , not a coach per say but a fantastic driven personality inspiring like Shankley , heavy metal style.
However Jurgen great as he is , did not have a plan B. We were always vulnerable at the back.
Slot observed this and implemented a slower ,more possession based, slower attack. He has no plan B.
Having a really good talented squad he can only hope given time (games) they will gell to show their talent.

Binning Slot we need a genuine Coach of TEAM football, not a player coach. Who can have a least a A,B,C game plan as the match progresses.
Ex players seem to me to be player coaches inspiring yes but risky.
A team coach will be a disciplinary and not well liked a first by prima donnas.

Huh?

Huh?

The reason I have my view is spending time in Melwood watching training/coaching listening to Shankley and Paisley.
I didnt get it till many years later , the difference. I thought Paisley too simple , and Shanks a Messiah. Shankley dominated the whole place definate and demanding. Paisley quiet saying extemely basic things, more patient, I actually could not see why they would employ him.
Later (years later) the penny dropped . Paisley was a organiser supreme, manipulating the whole team by using very simple expainations. Every player knew his role to support a team mate. The team was a well oiled machine, and could be altered by his thinking (attack, control, defence) A,B,C
My view as a early teenager.
