    Just play 433 drop the ego and narcissistic excuses blaming everything but your fuck up Arne and play the lads in a 433 as they played it for 10 years

    Before JokeShop has anything to say I’d point out the effect of a change in formation down the East Lancs road

    Use them in rotation more often may mean less fatigue/injury for other lads etc etc
    Agreed he needs to use the squad better. He obviously doesn't rate or trust those players though. In one way that could be good as he wants a better squad and has standards and if he was here long enough might help raise the level of the over all squad.

    On the other hand, he is shooting himself in the foot and alienating those players by not giving them minutes. Also risking overpaying the other players.

    If we are all being realistic, as much as we spent in the summer we still lacked a cb and a Diaz replacement. Rio was touted as a possible option at left wing yet after scoring against Newcastle he got very little time. He is getting minutes recently but should have had more.

    Slot has been unlucky with injuries but he does need to use his squad more.

    You use what you have like Klopp did he has a thin and shit squad it took 3 years to make good and did much better than Slot is, it’s no excuse

    Although unlucky with injuries Bradley’s a great option because Klopp trusted and played him

    I can't help but laugh (not at you Ravo, in generalities) about the window.

    For years we have had a portion of the fanbase wanting us to spend big on ready-made talents and act more like Real Madrid - we finally go and do it and much of our fanbase cries out "no, not like that!"

    It’s the not buying players we needed but buying them for a new way of playing that’s boring and doesn’t work that’s got most ppl looking across all social media
    Instead of Wirtz we should have signed Semenyo and another wide forward

    Instead of Isak we should have signed a top CB and No6 and still had change

    You try to revert to an out and out 9 and buy TWO for 200m?

    I don’t think I posted much in silly season there was a lot going on

    If I’d been paying attention and realised what he was planning which I think was 3412 I’d have been kicking off for sure

    I’d have been vehemently against any change in formation and style of play

    Especially the ludicrous everything passed short nonsense

    No, I didn't think you were. And to be fair I don't think most people were complaining about the signings.

    It's all looking back with hindsight now and blaming the manager.

    Form and injuries are the reason we've struggled.

    It’s not I just didn’t pay attention if I had I’d have been kicking off

    Iis simple common sense if you sell your only class forward you replace them with class

    You don’t change your formation and style of play that’s been successful for 10 years after winning a title

    No brainers
