All Aboard the Slot Express

So we spent 400m in the summer and you didn't pay attention. Interesting.

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.

Yes. The CB was the critical one as it turned out. Konate has been poor all season and we've had no-one to bring in. That might have given us a bit more stability and saved some of those dodgy late goals we've conceded so much. Replacing Diaz was also critical. We lost a lot of depth in Nunez, Jota, Elliot. And then Diaz and Trent from the first team. Despite the outlay we didn't replace some of the grit/pressing that we had. Wirtz is lightweight despite obviously having talent. Isak - haven't seen enough of him tbf. Ekitike- been great. Kerkez struggling. Frimpong has mostly looked good. So, kind of 2 from 5 have been successful with Wirtz showing better lately. Kerkez- jury still out. Isak we need to see more of still.

Klopp's way (maybe through necessity) was to add one or two each season and most of those turned out to be good signings. Keita is one of the few I can think of who didn't. We got some real gems like Matip who was a great player despite some injuries. Some good solid players like Wini. Throwing a load of money at it and bringing loads in at one time has backfired a bit. I think it would have been different had we done that while keeping Diaz and a few of the others but the finance wouldn't have been there.

It's a lesson learnt hopefully. And one most fans could have told the directors.

It’s what they did with Kenny too back him hugely and it backfired

Kenny wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel like Slot though, just bought expensive British players like Carol and Downing who flopped

Think back to Rafs we’ve not done that well, neither 9 is Torres class and Wirtz is nowhere near Gerrard class and he’s made sure our wide forwards aren’t as good either

I’d take Reira or Maxi over Gakpo

Ppl trying to rob you of a lot of money obviously takes priority
