Roundtable - Slot, Hughes, Hogan

[Nineteenx]

Style of play has been an even greater issue that formation we need that 3 up when attacking abd to attack quickly as we’ve always looked well short of forwards in the box and in the 4231 tappy crappy and struggled to create as a result

I was spot on about that style of play never working in a million years, it failed played much better under Guardiola in 19-20 and was ditched thereafter

Now there are more teams even better in the press and counter press and at countering and being direct it’s a categoric non starter

[RedMagic]

Rather than evolving and progressing, we seem to be reverting back to being a team that lacks intensity, dynamism, creativity, is one paced, lacks a coherent and effective way of playing, lacks fight, and one that plays slow, onepaced sideways and backwards passing football. We also seem to be reverting back to a time when we were overly reliant on one of our star players coming up with the goods to get us out of jail.

We have been successful playing quick pass and move, intense, dynamic football, whilst also having a lot of fight and spirit in the team. Are we going to get Klopp back or find someone with the same skillset and motivational acumen that gave us those things? Unlikely. But is it too much to expect or ask for someone who can can inject a few of our previously positive attributes back into the team? I don't think it is.

Im led to believe (i might be wrong,it might be obvious to everyone else anyway) that Hughes alone is the one to decide if Slot goes or sees out his contract/extends. Ditto Edwards with Hughes. Maybe no decisions will be taken until after the summer xfer window and the evolution from Klopps squad continues.

If you posted your source then maybe we could determine whether it's legit or not. Unfortunately most people spreading clickbait don't want to reveal where they got it. So until something useful is posted we'll assume it's BS.

If we don’t make Champions League they all have to go

I don’t like non football ppl like Hughes being able to back a plan like Slot’s, a guy sanctioning that should thoroughly understand how those changes can effect the club the players and results and know relevant history of how wrong it can go

We’ve only been good in any game this season when we’ve played as we have for 10 years

Hughes played International football and has been doing the job he's doing now for a good number of years. Not sure you can say he's a non-football person...

[Rusty Shackleford]

Not sure if anyone remembers, but Hughes once scored the winner for Pompey v Liverpool in the FA Cup. Definitely not a non-football person.
